It's not all doom and gloom

A friend commented the other day that he had started to read my blog and that he thought it was depressing.

Maybe that's partly true. I struggle to read back anything that I've ever written on here. Part of that is because I'm a perfectionist and I'm never fully satisfied with my writing and part of that is because it upsets me. My words are heartfelt and honest, sometimes it's hard to look back on my anxieties and frustrations without feeling sorry for myself (or myself back then). I SO want to move away from feeling sorry for myself. I certainly don't want anyone else to pity me either. So, I don't look back. I focus on what's ahead. Live and learn.

But hey, it's not all doom and gloom. I promise.
