January 1, 2001 ~ A Real Journal, A Real Life
Boy have I got a New Year's Resolution:
To write an entry in here every single day. For this whole year. Even if I can't upload it for some reason, I am going to write an entry every day. I need it. This journal needs it.
Heck, I won't be able to upload today. FTP is still broken.
I was thinking about this journal all day, though. I was thinking about why I started it. I started writing my life for the world to see so that the world could see my life. Lately, with my sparse entries, the world hasn't been getting the picture. That needs to change now.
I promise. Every day.
And if, for some reason, I miss a few days, there will be a really good reason for it.
I wanted to give something back. I love online journals. I love the fact that I can relate, can empathize with these brave strangers. I wanted to put my life out there too, so that others could relate to it. Could learn from it. Heck, so they could laugh at it, if they wanted to.
I need to write more often. It helps me so much. A few days ago I was thinking about all sorts of crazy things, saying to myself, "Sheesh, I should write about this stuff. That's some crazy material, right there." Then I laughed. "Hey, goof-ball. You have an online journal. What are you waiting for?"
But I still waited. What the heck was wrong with me? So. Here I am. I'm writing. I am going to make this a more realistic portrayal of my life. I know it hasn't been recently, I've been thinking of too many excuses not to write very often.
That is stopping now.
Here I am. This is me. This is me writing about life in general. I want see myself on that screen again.
