I used to just write all of the time and then I somehow got away from it, like it was indecent to expose my thoughts to the minimal audience this journal receives. It's always been just for me and it's therapeutic so I'm going to try to get back into regular entries. Life is different now; kids are really draining, especially when they don't sleep ( Read more... )

I’m not sure why I don’t write anymore....maybe it’s the two kids or perhaps the felt lack of time. I am currently studying for licensure to make my doctorate in psychology useful. I hate feeling so mentally exhausted that my creative side has been forced into dormancy. I know it’s there, just needs a catalyst to awaken it.

Nothing I've written was ever disingenuous in any way but I'm not 19 anymore ( Read more... )

I can speak about a lot of things, but what I'm choosing now is how odd it is to have finally graduated and yet wonder wtf I'm actually doing. People are calling me "Dr." and that is insignificant to me even though I expected it would mean I've finally "made it." The trouble with graduate programs and training in Clinical Psychology as well as ( Read more... )

Well it's a funny thing you find yourself involved in; I felt much more free to post ad lib before I had any credentials to speak of and I now realize through looking back at old (and I mean old, like 15 years in some cases) entries, how wise I was without respecting myself to be so. Well it's officially official, I have graduated and I'm now Dr ( Read more... )

I have a new blog and I'm trying to get some readers.....feel free to repost as you wish.
