The Journal Formally Known As Live (original) (raw)

And so it is.

Re-reading my past entries, the high school angst, the college struggles, it is so far away yet so close.

My skinny self in high school hated everything about herself. Seriously. After college, I went off birth control leading up to getting married. I put on more weight than I ever had on me before. I was diagnosed with PCOS - something 1 in 10 women suffer from yet only 15% of women know what it is. The struggle to get the weight off now isn't only for vanity's sake, it is for my health and my life.

Those insecurities still plague me. I hate to say that my husband still struggles with the fact that I don't take a compliment.

And if you were wondering, I married my high school boyfriend after all :) 10 years, we are married now for 2. So suck on that!

I graduated from St. Joe's, went to Paris on my honeymoon and am working as a Crisis Counselor for the Survivors of Hurricane Sandy -> the grant will end and I will focus on growing my business. Yes, I started my own business. I co-own an event planning company here on Long Island.

Life is interesting nonetheless.

I started work on the book. My brother was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in 2010. It has been a long and troubling few years. Currently his court ordered meds are serving him well. Only time will tell how things will turn out.

Expect me some more on here. It is like coming home again!
