It's been almost eight years since I've put my personal thoughts down on paper. I used to have a "DeadJournal" weblog that was dedicated to the confused and emotional musings of my developing teenage mind. I remember my last post; a rant of sorts, listing anonymously those that, in my mind, committed some sort of devious act towards me (which in those days, looking back, meant it could have been as innocent as not returning my AOL chat messages or being too loud in class.).
Those were days of a lot of frustration, where I was mostly mad at the world for no real tangible or realistic reasons. I just was. I was a raging mess of teenage angst and confusing hormones. Thinking about what I wrote about then makes me smirk and shake my head. While I've rediscovered that I enjoy writing for the sake of writing and chronicling my thoughts, this blog will be cut from different cloth than those of my youth.
Enough about the past, as I am most sure I will revisit it here eventually, but I will close that book for now and look onward into the future.
To start, I have so many different things going on in my head lately, and I feel like I do not take the time to give them all the time they deserve... as if they are all ephemeral candle flames that drift in the dark bedroom of my skull like softly glowing butterflies that float patiently, waiting to be plucked out of the air and pinned into the display case that serves as my memory. I feel that to be a happier and more fulfilled person, I need to flesh out these thoughts and feelings individually. I will take the time to write a few times a week, and will use this journal as a method of expressing myself that the plastic methods of Facebook fail to do so.
