I do not know if you read my post about the man that tried to kill me when I was a tot because my father locked him up for drugs, or that my dad used to beat up my mother, or that one of my dad's friends attempted to molest me. No, I do not need any reminders. Dixy, take off your hoody and your glasses and take a sweet picture of yourself for your avatar. Life begins anew today.
Yeah, I totally understand and agree with that, Socal. Like I said, there are some things from my old past that ARE better of forgotten, and I never really wrote about them. But, I still think it's important to write what you can, about other things. Like, my middle school years, I can't even remember many details now (aside from some major ones) and reading journals from back then makes me remember a lot of things I had completely forgotten about. And these entries aren't solely like "Today I blah blah blah." A lot of them are rants and thoughts and when I read them, I remember thinking those thoughts and why I thought them and different circumstances that were happening in my life. I've even sort of re-learned a few lessons I had forgotten, just by reading journals (or at the very least, re-inforced those lessons)
Anyway. CHA. Cleaned out my closet today, found my old trenchcoat, new avatar soon !!!!!!
