A new leaf

Today I took what I consider to be a radical step in letting go of my past: I cancelled my myspace account.

It's been on my mind for some time, but I could never quite convince myself to permanently delete those memories. There are blogs, pictures and comments there that used to sustain me and keep me sane; now, keeping it alive (albeit inactive) seems a bit like living with a corpse in the house. The stench of death and decay have finally become overwhelming, and as wonderful as that time in my life was, it's dead and gone. Time for the proverbial phoenix to rise from the ashes!

As I'm also coming out of a week-long depression, it also seems appropo to begin again somewhere new (or newish).

I'm writing this time not for a boyfriend or a laugh, but for me...and that feels good.

I don't expect to write anything insightful, but as I'm driven by the overwhelming need to write, I plan to post whenever the mood strikes.
