...to read some of the stuff that I wrote more than a decade or so ago. I was very happy that I was alone when I read them and kind of glad that a lot of them have been lost. It does lessen the embarssment some. But knowing that I have purposely sent some of them to family and friends...oh well, I can always blame it all on my youth.
But then I read some anecdotes I wrote from just a few years back of my life in China and I realized that in my writing at least, I haven't matured quite as much as I thought. lol! It was, to say the least, humbling. I think now that I have a lot to learn and a long way to go. That means I have to keep busy and keep writing as much as I can.
I'm excited to be doing it at this time. For want of a new hobby, I've come back to something that I love and enjoyed doing in the past. As I said, I have always been a big believer in words and how it reaches and influences people. I want to get to that point where what I have to say actually has value and in some way affect, well not a huge number of people (though anything is possible), but someone. But maybe in the end, it will only have changed me. And that's not a bad idea at all.
