Exactly the reason I enjoy reading back over some old threads in BL. It's good to see the changes in the self. Even if you cringe and wonder whatever the fuck you thought you were up to, it's good to cringe and realise how much you've changed hopefully for the better.
I've kept an online journal for the past 6 years, I've written in it pretty much everyday as a cathartic exercise. I enjoy looking back over the years on what I was doing on this day.
For example May the 7th 2005 I wrote this:
'I'm being disciplined at work. I find this highly amusing. No really. I do. 'We only do this because we care about the welfare of our staff.' Why am I being pulled under the strong metal hammer of the **** International corporation? My lateness. For fucks sake, I left my mothers womb late I ain't changing for no man now.
Spent most of this week working 8-4 shifts, reading, listening to sulky music and wandering round my garden with no shoes on and glass of wine in hand.
Jennifer came home today. She's been down south all week at an induction for work. She's back..complete with sexy expensive company car, laptop, digital camera and company mobile phone. For a minute and only a minute I wished it was me then I gave myself a mental slap in the face and thought no it does not and never will suit me.
I like being a fuck up. I do it well. Can you see me any other way?! That was an honest question.'
Erm, no i've not changed then
So yeah, my snoo is reading back over my journal that i've kept since 2003 and realising that I'm still running around in circles but I'm a bit better than I used to be.
