My New Journal Exclaimer.

*Laugh* I wonder if my gf/wife would want to kill me if she found out what I have or would post about in my journal. To a certain percential I care. To the other, this is my journal. This is where, hopefully, I'll learn to be more open without feeling bad or embarassed about it. This is where I hope to learn from myself through being open and

Hey, anything you write, I'll read. No problems. That's what livejournaling is all about :)

i get you. i was quite apprehensive about being as open asi am in my journal at first. but its definitely worth it. what's more, my friends and aquaintences *do* read my stuff. at the bi vic party, pride and various other social events people we didn't even know came up to us to talk to us about our journals! and you know what? while they do act as though they know us intimately (even though we know squat about them) they don't act immaturely or embarressed at knowing intimate details at all.

personally i've found that its been really liberating to be so honest in my LJ. sure there are as many interpretations of what i write as there are readers but hell i've certainly dealt with my fear of being misunderstood! for meit was like being terrified there was a monster under the bed, stopping me from doing as i pleased. but when i worked up the guts to stick my head down there and see, there was only dustbunnies... and now i'm free to do/say as i please. LJ is a great mirror to myself and a fantastic tool of growth.

"For me it was like being terrified there was a monster under the bed, stopping me from doing as I pleased."

Yeah, it's the same for me. I'm constantly having to remind myself by showing myself examples of how I really shouldn't be that afraid and to just take that jump.

i feel like i completly understand where you are coming from. i wouldnt let anyone i did know in person read my journal for the longest time, and was even a little unsure of letting people i dont know read it. so, yeah, i agree. plus, were bound to run in to one another at some point, i go to school in woodinville, would we recognize each other, i dont know. i do enjoy reading your journal a lot. so, thanks.

Where do you go to school in Woodinville?

[mirageonpluto]
