Hey all, I have decided to start a new blog! It’s not going to be diet-related although from time to time I may share stuff about my diet, weight, etc. Eventually I’ll start posting pics over there. Basically the blog will be about life and my creative ramblings, thoughts, perspectives and my journey through life. I’ve loved posting on this blog over the years – so I will NOT be deleting it. I will make this blog read-only and keep it as-is. I want this blog to be here as a reminder of some of the struggles I went through from 2007-2010.
But the fact is, I want to both move on, yet get back into the creative writing that I used to do (before becoming an alchy). I’ve been a creative thinker and writer since I was about six years old. I won my first writing contest at age six. It was some kind of ‘Young Author’s Award’ for the school district (Norwalk/La Mirada) I belonged to in first grade. I wrote a short story that got published in their award book. Anyway, from that moment on, I decided I wanted to write for a living. That dream persisted for pretty much the next 15+ years.
Funny thing is, years and years later, I DO write for a living. Just not in the capacity that I had wanted or even ever imagined! I imagined myself a famous novelist or something like that. But instead, I am a blogger that only writes little blurbs like “So and so was spotted heading to the gym yesterday” and “OMG she looks so slim and cute and healthy!!!!!” And of course I write here about dieting, etc. But in my young years, I wrote tons of poetry, stories and even a young adult novel. None of which was published other than the YA thing – I never tried to get anything else published. Although come to think of it, a poem I wrote about “Missing Homework” was published in the school newspaper when I was in 11th grade. At around age 12-14, I used to write really funny stories that would crack up family members and friends. I miss that – I really miss expressing myself creatively in a humorous way. I did it all the way up until I was about 27 or so. Back in late 2003 and early 2004, I kept a personal blog where I would talk about my zany life and how crazy things were since I had moved to New Hampshire. (By the way, parts of that blog can still be found in certain archives on the internet. The site name was mindless-intensity.com).
So I’m going to start again in the new blog.
In other news, I signed up take a metaphysics class today. I am super excited about it. I went to the school today and talked to the teacher and another woman who is joining the class. We all chatted for over two hours and it was awesome. The class starts next week. I’ve never done anything like this before – in fact, prior to Dec 2008 (when my spiritual/religious beliefs began to shift) I would have never even considered doing something like this.
Anyway, I’ll post a link to the new blog here soon, as soon as it is set up and all.
