Reading broken_dreamer's journal

First off, I would like to apologize for the last entry I made. It was short, boring and pointless. I was just not having the best of days yesterday.

So, here I am, pouring out my thoughts for your enjoyment or boredom. I won't say all of my thoughts will be here, but here goes nothing..

Lately, I've been having a lot of trouble with my writing. For those who don't know, I am an English major with the dream of someday becoming a novelist and/or poet. Of course, my work is in it's beginning stages and could use much improvement. But in order to improve my writing, I must first write. However, I have become "stuck" and every attempt I have made at writing in the last month or so has failed miserably. I've lost the only outlet I had, at least for the moment, and I'm not sure what to do.

In other news, family life is good one moment and then bad the next. I changed quite a bit when I went off to college, and doing so made me realize how bad of a person I was before. I'm not saying I was the most terrible person to ever walk the face of the planet, or that I'm perfect now. But... my family has anger issues and as much as I didn't want myself to be that way, I was. Being away from all the constant arguing made me realize that it was all silly and uncalled for. I'm trying to set examples, and I think it's beginning to work. We'll see...

That's all for now, for I must go and do things for my mother.

Good day to all.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
