Paring down, editing my memories

I've been going through my stuff endlessly it seems.

Anyway I was looking at some old journals that I wrote one in 1992 and one in 1995.

It was interesting to me to see the ways I have changed and the ways that I am still so much like I used to be. I kept talking about marriage. I wanted to be married then and I still do have that desire. But I feel perhaps I worry about it a good deal less.

I rewrote some of it and decided to throw away the old stuff. I had forgotten some people's names that I was glad to see written down. I wrote a few things that I care to share. One thing I thought was funny and one poignant.

I wrote: I have decided that I need to lose weight. That explains why I am eating this whole container of Haagen Daz. LOL.

After returning from the trip to Hungary, I wrote that I felt when I came back that I was like a bird put back in its cage, singing "Is this where I belong?"

Interesting that I had a forgotten a lot of the painful stuff and the joys as well.
