Day 2: What happened?

Dear Note to Self,

So seven years ago was the last time I wrote in here before I just completely lost my motivation to write. What exactly happened you asked? Well, there are two answers to that. The short answer would be that life got very hectic very fast and things kept happening one after the other. The long answer would be my entire life changed in the course of a short time period. I lost my sense of direction, I was lied to, cheated on and used and abused. I had things stripped from me in more ways than one, and now I am rebuilding my life slowly getting back when I had lost. I will take this time to write about it. Seven years worth of stuff happening seems like a lifetime. At least it seems to be that way to me.

I am ready to talk about it.

Till next time,

Patty

Day 1: Reintroducing myself

Dear Note 2 Self,

Allow me to introduce myself…Again. Hi It’s me, Patty. I made it all the way up to Day 163 before I stopped writing. The last time I wrote in here was when my son Matthias was first born over seven years ago. Since then a lot has changed, a lot has happened, many lessons learned unfortunately the hard way. But now I put pen to paper again with a new sense of direction. I ended up erasing all the other entries as well since they were difficult to read and reflect on how far off course I allowed myself to go.

Some of these entries will not make sense to some as I try to make sense of the things that have happened. This is part of my healing journey; the good, the bad and the downright ugly. This is my story. It’s time I tell my story. So here’s the starting over, breathing life into these pages once again. I hope you stay for the ride.

Till next time,

Patty
