Starting Over... sort of...

For those who have followed me over from www.kimmer.blog.com, I thank you.  I don't have many more entries before this journal gets handed in for final grading and I want to say thank you for joining me on this short journey... or the beginning of this longer journey of paying closer attention to how I allow myself to react to external stimuli. 

This self-reflecting isn't an easy task, and writing in a public sphere about it is even more difficult because I'm putting myself in the position of allowing my friends (and potentially also strangers) to sit in judgement of me and decide that maybe they don't like what they now see me admitting to being. Nobody wants to admit to being anything perceived as negative (judgemental, lazy, rage issues, easily distractible...) but here I am laying myself out for any and all to see.

Ultimately I have found elements of myself that I don't particularly care to admit exist within my being; but I have also found parts of me that I feel are good and wonderful, and I choose to embrace those parts more and to hopefully squelch more of the negative parts of my personality (not that that will be easy by any stretch of the imagination).  

So this is my first entry on the blogger.com domain and I'm hopeful that it will support my blog for at least a short while longer as I try to reflect a bit more on what I've noticed about myself and the head space in which I spend most of my time.  Feel free to let me know what you think.

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.”
