Blog. Journal. Diary. So many words to describe this, but the bottom line is that I have an incredible amount of information bouncing around in my head and its so much quicker to type than write these days. I used to journal. Beautiful, black calligraphy that went on for hundreds of pages about my thoughts, my life, my emotions. Typical teenage/young adult stuff. I loved writing. And then I settled into a relatively happy, normal life and that stopped.
Until now. On the eve of 2016, I find myself reflecting back on the year. Hell, the last 5, 10 years. In the past year, I found myself in a failing marriage, legal trouble, struggled with body image issues, and had some serious pet troubles. I know, I know. #thirdworldproblems. But really, in my years as an optimistic woman with an outlook that rivals Pollyanna, I am having a difficult time moving beyond this year. And to be fair, every issue I listed has at least 5 sub-issues. A divorce is not as simple as, It just didn't work. So I'm hoping to break this blog up into the issues that torment (or elate!) me most. Divorce. Diet. Dogs. DUI. Yes, my life has some serious D's. Join me. Because I know I'm not the only one who deals with stuff way over their head, and yet somehow believes that they will have the best life possible!
