I guess before I start pondering the meaning of life and all that jazz I should tell you a little bit about myself. My given name is Alexandra, but I go by Ally. I’m 16. I speak some German, read a lot (and not those teenage vampire books…yuck!), listen to all kinds of music, and act like a goofball sometimes. I’m a daughter, sister, friend, and confidant. I’m a perfectionist who has worked hard all my life to keep everybody, my friends, family, teachers, and parents happy but in doing so I’ve forgotten about me. I’m determined to find myself, get happy, and this blog will be an outlet along the way.
Don’t get me wrong. I have a very blessed life. I have great friends and family. School’s good. But something’s missing. I’m not happy, with any of it. I’m afraid of failure and being alone or being left by those I’m close to. I hope to change that. I’m frightened to death that I won’t be strong. I have walls and they need to come down. It’s time to redefine reality and become a better, happier me.
I know *exactly* how you feel.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for not being a "sparkly vampire novel" reader. Austen is much better. On that note, you should also read the works of the three Bronte sisters. They're all very different. Emily is dark, Anne tells a good story, and Charlotte plays with emotions to make the story more interesting.
All the best,
Emily
