New Blog
So, I thought I might kick start my blogging again by starting fresh on a new host. Diaryland was great, but I feel no urge to go back there and continue my old diary at this point in my life. Perhaps I will some time later, who knows?
So much of my life has changed since I last wrote my journal entries on Diaryland. Reading over the things I wrote about back then, I sometimes feel a little silly, wondering “why on earth did I write about that??“. But I guess, why do we write about anything? That is why I stopped blogging. I didn’t really think anybody would be too interested in what goes on in my life, what was the point of writing it all down? That is why I also started emailing overseas friends less and less, I thought my life was boring and I had nothing good or interesting to tell.
I think I was depressed again at that point in my life. I remember a time when I needed to write, to get it all out, so I could look back over it later and grow from my experiences. Then one day my boyfriend saw my blog, so I started censoring myself in case he read it again! I stopped talking about him, the things we did, the places we went… eventually I just stopped writing altogether.
Nowadays, it’s all about time. As I’m writing this, my brother is talking to me from the other room. My son is playing with his toys on the coffee table but at any minute he will come over for a cuddle, to climb up on me, to stick his hands or feet on the keyboard and bash the keys over and over again. It’s something he likes to do, probably to get my attention. It works. With all the distractions going on, it can be hard to get a solid thought in my head for longer than 10 seconds. I’ve even started using OneNote just to jot random things down when I get the chance.
So, I guess we will see if I continue this blog or not. I hope that I do stick with it. Only time will tell.
