The Start of the Journey

I've had a journal for years. I can remember my first diary, a Lisa Frank diary, that I always kept a lock on. I didn't want anyone to read what my inner most feelings were. Of course I couldn't have been more than 10 years old so my writings consisted of what I wore to school, who I played with outside, and if I got in trouble for picking on my little brother that day or not. Alot has changed since then. Both good and bad. I was in a physically abusive relationship with my children's biological father, I was raped at gunpoint at 19, my grandma died to breast cancer. I met the man of my dreams and married him. I've gone through alot in life and I can honestly say that writing has helped me get through it.

I like sharing my feelings and getting feedback from others. I've never been on this site but I've kept a journal on OpenDiary for years. I love to have the advice of others who have gone through what I'm going through. And I love to share my stories or advice to others about what I have learned along the way.

I hope that this is a new beginning and I can really start writing again.
