Let's Get Started

Hi, my name is Kat. I used to write and read non-stop. I went through books and journals as if my ife depended on it; and for a long time...it did. I met a boy and then I no longer felt like I had to keep myself secret from the world. And my world now included him so I had no room for secrets. No time for my passions anymore. I found myself doing the things I love less and less. And once I started college that was less time I had. The funny thing is that I have all these thoughts in my head that I can't get out anymore, that i can't put on paper. I am torn between my reasoning for why I don't write anymore. Have I stopped writing because my life is good and I no longer feel the need to "figure it out" or question it on paper? Am I ashamed of what might be the result of letting my pen hit a blank piece of paper? Do I fear that what I think is a great life...is not a life I am proud to lead? I don't have all the answers. But writing kept me curious, it kept me honest, it gave me a whole world where I wasn't afraid to ask the hard questions, where I didn't have to censor my thoughts, where I could free my mind. I want to get into writing again. Since English is going to be my major, I figure that it might be a good idea to start writing something...anything. I don't exactly know what form this blog will take. And I do not know how often I will write. I am hoping at least once or twice a week--we'll see.
