I wrote through middle school and high school and college and sporadically through the first year ot so of my marriage. But then, I stopped. I was overcome by life and it was simply too much! I had so much going on that I barely processed it in my head and there was absolutely no time left for me to write about it.
Eventually I started to feel like I was missing something. I began to itch for a way to express myself. I kept thinking of writing again....But unfortunately, I was standing in my own way. I did not realize that until now of course that it was my fears, or inhibitions or whatchamacallit that prevented me.
Long story short, after a lot of frustration and a lot of overcoming of inhibitions I came up with this blog so that I could write all my thoughts, my opinions, my wishes, my deliberation and my wonder.
Just like Dumbledore, this is going to be my pensive: a place where I hold all my memories and my thoughts. Where I can dip in a few years later and look at my part self, if for no other reason than just to see how far I have come since then.
This is where I want to record my journey - as a citizen of this universe, as a girl, as a woman, a student, a parent, a teacher, a child, an observer, a doer, a thinker, a writer and any other role that I might take up in this life as I grow.
So here's to a new beginning of the same journey!
