Me - Circa 2002

The last few nights I've been staying up late. I just haven't felt like going to bed at a reasonable hour. Instead, I stay up listening to music loudly in my headphones. I spent a fair amount of time last night listening to Elliott Smith and reading old blog entries from a Xanga account I had in 2002 (and beyond.) It's so bizarre to read it. I've read old journals off an on over the years but I rarely revisit my old Xanga. I don't remember writing in it much, but apparently I did. I only managed

Loneliness

I need to get out of this funk I've been in lately. Normally I am so happy this time of year. I love Winter. I love Christmas. But for some reason...I'm just 'blah' this year. There are, of course, days where I'm quite happy and content. We took our son to the botanical gardens and to meet Santa the other day. It was really nice. We got some cute photos. (Not sure if I should post them here or not...?) I am thankful for those days. I am able to let go of the constant worry going on in my brain.

I Should Be Asleep

I should be asleep. Instead I am sitting alone in my living room, crying. So freaking pathetic. I was just sitting here listening to music and staring off into space. Trying to figure out who I can talk to when I get upset like this. But I feel like I have no one. I suppose that's why I'm posting here. But it's only a matter of time until I won't feel right coming here when I'm sad either. No one wants to listen to me get upset about the same old stuff. I normally end up crying on the phone to m

Thanksgiving 2015

The weather isn't great here today. Ice and slush mostly. Since the roads are slick, we have abandoned our plans of going to my parents' house for turkey tonight. So...we're at home. It's just like a regular day here. We don't have a turkey in the oven or anything. It's kind of sad but that's life. We'll be eating spaghetti for dinner because it's something we have on hand. We are trying to decide if we'll head over to my parents' house tomorrow night for leftovers. My brother is in town with hi

Choices

Sometimes I wonder about the choices I've made in life. Not the big ones, necessarily. But the little ones. The tiny, every day decisions I've made. How have those tiny things directed the way my life would go? I'd say I'm happy with my life, for the most part. I've had my ups and downs. Usually I think to myself, "I'm right where I should be." But every now and again I seem to get inside my head and think about the other paths my life could have taken. I get kind of uneasy. It makes me nervous.

25 Years of Journals

I received my first journal as a Christmas present in 1990. I was nine years old. I have kept a journal off and on since then. I didn't write consistently until the mid-2000's though. I've never kept a journal with the purpose of writing my deep thoughts or anything like that. I've always just kept it more as a log of my day to day life. Needless to say, all 9 of my journals so far have been quite dull. I don't really mind though. I'm not much of a writer....to say the least. For the past year,
