Well hello there stranger. I stumbled upon this as I was reading another blog, and signed in using my gmail to post a comment. I got to reading all my old posts.
I think I summed up my situation really well, back then, and I'm surprised how eloquent / thoughtful / analytical I was about things then.
Things have changed a lot, I had a lot of ups and downs. (God there have been some downs - but I'm certainly on the up). I'll bore you with them in due course, as I think spewing forth my thoughts into the written word is very therapeutic to me.
I say 'you' - I now know after almost two years of inactivity (no comments or anything) I actually mean the future me. It was great (a little painful, a little liberating) recounting my experience then, especially when I compare myself now to where I was then. I think it can only be a good thing.
Maybe one day I'll show this to a loved one, not sure though, as I will likely be writing a lot about them and want to be REALLY honest about things. That's not necessarily conducive to sharing, sometimes. We'll see.
Anyway - want to keep this short (i.e. get the ball rolling but I'm at work now so actually need to do some work!)
Speak soon,
D
