It is important to remind yourself of your past in order to be able to appreciate the present. As I start this blog I am reminded of my past journal. Journal writing has been a big part of my journey. However, this is this first time I have created a journal that is open for others to read. I think this is a good step for me. As I enter into a time in my life full of interesting experiences and new discoveries it is necessary that I share this story with others. I welcome you to join me in this thing called life.
To begin lets take a look in the past:
"Emptiness is not a welcomed feeling by many. We yearn to be whole and complete and when there are aspects in our lives that put us short of that feeling then we are quick to know and think that something is not right. Perhaps some emptiness is a good thing. For it is in the emptiness that we find ourselves ready to be filled with the substance that previously we were scared to be made of. I like to think that this is the case for me as of present."
I wrote this in June 2008. My life was very different then it is today. I had just graduated from college, living in the real world alone for the first time, in a fairly new relationship, and jobless. Not to pat my self on the back but what wisdom and foreshadowing in those words. I think God was speaking to me that night through my writing.
As I look back on my life since that night I am overwhelmed with how much I have been filled with the substances that I never thought would happen and was fearful of for years. Oh how a person can change and grow within 15 months.
As I further embark on this journey I invite you to join me. Take up your cause and come to life. L'Chaim, ("to life") if you will.
