What's the story?

So my computer illiterate self learned how to create what us bloggers call, 'pages.' Took me a little over a year but shh... that's our secret! (with my most awkward wink shot at your cute little faces.) I loved the idea of having different pages of what my hobby is, what I believe in, and a little story called, 'An Escape.' 

Since writing that story I've had many questions like, "Is it true?" "Who is it about?" "Why are you writing it?" "Are you okay?" So here are my answers:

Yes, it is a true story. It is a story from my junior year of high school til about Christmas of 2008. This comes straight from my journal because I knew it would be one of those experiences that changes me completely... and I am talkin' 180 degree change. I wrote a condensed version of it my sophomore year of college and ended up having to read it in front of my entire english class. Not the easiest thing I have ever done, but I obviously lived through it.. so there you go. You're welcome english professor who looked like Dr. Phil. I'll never be the same ;)

This question can't really be answered. Not because I don't want to but out of respect for the other person. The respect side of it is to keep him anonymous. No offense but this isn't for him. Which brings me to my next answer to your question...

It's for those girls who couldn't speak up. It's for those girls who have been so in love that they don't care what other people think because its THEIR feelings... no one else's. It's for the girls who only see the color red because that's what loving him was like. It's for all those nights that he said sorry and turned around just to do the same thing the next day... but the most important part is that you believed him. You trusted him. I PROMISE you're not alone. That's why I'm here.

and... I can't lie, but it's for me too. I wrote these things in my journal so I could remember. I could remember what to do and what not to do. I wanted to remember every feeling, every emotion and every tear that fell from my cheeks. I wanted to remember the strength I built on my own from that very moment that I said, 'I love you too.' 

Why I am writing it should also be your answer to the last question. I just have every intention of helping someone who felt the same way I did, Who didn't know how to say 'no, that's not what I want.' Who wouldn't believe her best friend... when she should have because that's who actually cared.

The story has been a work-in-progress since January 2009. I'm not sure how many chapters there will be and I don't have a set schedule of when I will be posting them... just because life is fun, and I love blogging, but I don't sit at home on my computer all day to write it.

Plus... the anticipation is killer right? ;)

Here is to the woman I am now! Cheers. 

xoxo my lovelies. k.
