A fresh start

Throughout my life I have had this one problem--among others of course--of not carrying through with things that I've started, specifically things of the written variety. As a child I would write in the first few pages of a crisp new journal, reporting faithfully every day for a few weeks and then slowly taper off. Each time I would feel the urge to journal, I would be overcome with some strange feeling of guilt for picking up where I had left off in the old journal. So I would begin a new one again. This has not left me. Now that I've moved much of my musings and such online (though I still try to keep a written journal) I'm having the same problem. I think it arrives out of a need to reinvent myself, erase the past and start brand new.

So that's what I'm doing. Welcome.
