Hey,
My name is not something I wish to share with anyone who doesn't know me well enough yet....
When I began this diary, I had lost something special between a best friend and I. My best friend of 9 years betrayed me. However, 2 years later I realized the good that came out of the situation. Stronger bonds were formed between another friend and I. A bond that I thought could never equate to the one I had previously, but apparently I was wrong. I also learned the hard way the value of a friend. Though I missed her dearly, I learned how to "let go" of things. I learned more of myself and began writing in OD. Writing helped me to look back on the many memories I had encountered and remember them with fondness. I use to look back on the many many entries I had written and could point out the moments of change in my personality, maturity, and character for the better. However, just as Dave Matthews says "Nothing is here to stay, everything has to begin and end." The 103 entries I had previously written in OD came to their end. It's a new journey now.
When I began my first journey in OD, I hadn't experienced a relationship other than that of my friends whom I was devoted to. Now, I cannot say the same. I have loved and lost. However, again, I learned more about myself through it.
I am currently a graduate (May 2004) of Communication Arts from a small college in NY, St. Thomas Aquinas. I'm nervous, happy, scared, and excited all at the same time. I'm anxious as to what awaits me. I'm also going through tough times, but with the love and concern of a handful of devoted friends...life isn't as bad as it would be without them. My girls: SillyGoose, Shisty, QuietChaos, The Queen, Madamme Butterfly, Trini, and Asia and so many more make the impossible seem quite possible again. So this one goes out to them. Read my journey...I do often, and I smile when I come across you all.
...with that, my name is Monica, and this is what I call my life!
