Writer's Block: Looking Back

My first LJ post was March 11, 2001. I'd only started the journal because everyone else I knew, it seemed, had one, and it was slowly replacing email as a means of contact. Reading back on it... I was so naive. I believed that you could end a twelve-year-long relationship amicably, that we could continue living together without hating each other. That I would have the brain power to actually get myself together and try and write something publishable. *wry* Part of me looks back at that first entry and is amazed at how young I sound - only eight years ago. So much has gone on since then.

Mine was in June of 2001 and pretty similar sounding to yours.

It's strange how we don't realise how much we change, especially when it feels like we haven't. Perhaps that's why people started keeping diaries and journals in the first place - proof that things do change, even if we're not aware of it.

That could very well be.

I think it's important to remember just where we've come from. It gives us focus as to where we'd like to end up, I believe.
