Since I was around nine, I have kept some type of diary. I got the idea after reading “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.” Even though there wasn’t a diary in the story, I felt that it could be my own way to write my inner feelings down. In all the diaries I have kept, I have written all the wonderful and painful experiences in my life. In 2001, I discovered blogging. Since then, I have always had a blog. People sometimes ask me how I can write such private thoughts where everyone can see. I respond that these are not my most private, deepest thoughts because those I reserve for my own personal diary. However, it is sometimes wonderful to talk to people who are not part of you life, who have been where you are. I still have my most recent Blogger blog, and I skimmed through it just now. Wow, I have grown so much, both as a person and Writer.
