what is the use of deleting journal entries? the idea is sort of to be able to look back and see where you were. if you want to make it private, that's one thing .. but IMHO, deleting it defeats some of the purpose.
now .. please tell me about yourself. you're not the open book i am in your LJ info page.
yep, i did ask in, most definitely! :-) i liked reading your comments and thought we might have a lot in common.
hmm...about me...I am a 32 year old stay-at-home mother of two, a one and a half year old girl and a four year old boy. The four year old goes to preschool, which is the thread by which i am hanging onto what's left of my sanity. *wry grin.* I am married. My husband and I are going through a difficult time now. Some of it's probably related to this 1950's stereotype that we are living, with him being the breadwinner and me trying to play June Cleaver when I have little or no aptitude for it. Anyway.
My favorite color is blue. I'm a Sag. I'm bisexual. I am primarily Wiccan, although I love learning about all types of spirituality. I attend a Unitarian Universalist church. I write lots of poetry, mostly free verse, though occasionally in rhyme. I also write short stories, piece by piece when my kids will let me. I am a terrible housekeeper and don't cook. I do like to eat though, and I wish our place was more organized.
There are so many things about the world that scare me, and so many things that I love. I am intensely curious about everything and everyone. Very little shocks me, and I enjoy hearing the reasons for differing points of view.
I hope things clear up for you soon. I think I know the steps to make my life better, but I haven't taken time. Sometimes it is easier to wallow in misery than actually get off my ass and do what I need to do. I hope you know what it is you need and have the energy to make it happen.
I think a big part of the problem is that I'm not sure about the right thing to do. I think that trudging ahead in the situation I am in, trusting that there is light behind the clouds, is the best option...but the lingering doubts are killing me.
And perhaps there are less drastic steps I can take to improve my situation. I just have to figure out what they are. But knowing that you've been there, and that things are clarifying in your mind, makes me feel as if there is hope for me too. :-)
It is hard to know the right thing. I don't know specifically what I need to do either, but sometimes something hits me and I *know* a step I should take but am sometimes too afraid to make those steps.
I have trudged along before and it was not for the best. In other things I have really struggled to accomplish something and it has been worh it. It really depends on the situation.
And yes, you will find your way. I hope it comes soon. I wish you the best.
