Just · so · you · know...

I've found that I need a place in this world to call my own. I need a place where I can vent my frustrations without having to bring other people down...except for the people who read this journal and then, it's on your own heads because you can stop reading at any point. I guess the real purpose of this journal is that I'm so used to being the person that everyone needs me to be that I've never truly allowed myself to be the person I want to be. Sure, I've done things that I want to do and every once in awhile I catch a glimmer of that person that I'm trying to be but I feel like I get bogged down in being the granddaughter, daughter or errand girl.

I have some wonderful people in my life though, don't get me wrong. I've got quite a few friends, very good ones and loving, wonderful husband. I have a lot to be thankful for in my life and God has truly blessed me in so many ways. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I need this journal to be a sounding board of sorts. I need to know that someone is listening, and if that means hanging my words in cyberspace for anyone to listen, or read, then so be it.

At least I have the freedom to speak in my true voice.
