~ Why I read journals ~

.....Just to let you know, nothing in this journal's entry is toward anyone in specific, I use it to write my feelings, and about my illnesess,and in hopes it might help someone else as I do. And if you might take an entry wrong and feel that it is about you, I'm sorry but It isn't, it just may seem to coincide with your own life. May God bless you!......

Originally, I started my journal for me. To help me to cope with all the medical things that were happening to and with me. I had journaled on paper for years! Thankfully, aol came up with the on line journal. I could type. I was having problems with writing. It made it so much easier for me. I had a passion in me to want to help others that were "like" me. I went to search for groups. They were of no help, and were often rude and offensive. I moved on and continued to write. With my passion to write....nothing was going to stop me in my mission to get my words out to others. Since I knew what I had went through with trying to look for answers and friends in theses groups and no one were at all willing to be nice enough to help. That fueld me!

I continued to write about what I was going through. It didn't matter to me if I was having a good day or a bad day, I wanted to let everyone know the truth! And why not? I couldn't find the truth in any of my searches then. Even though I wasn't getting any comments, I didn't care. What did I know about comments at that time!? I had one thing on my mind and a mission!
On my searches, I ran across a few other journals. I found someone that had fibromyalgia too! Wow! I started reading daily. I seen how closely are illnesses were alike. We became friends and still are to this day! :o)
Through that journal, I found others. I would read them daily as well. I was learning more and more about Fibromyalgia and how others were coping and about their treatments! This was great! They were nice too! :o)

These people were doing the same thing as I was! Just telling it like it was! :o) And I loved it! So, I started commenting. Then I was getting comments! Then emails! They actually made me cry! Because then I knew I must have been doing something right. I was getting emails from people thanking me! Me? They thanked me for writing how I felt and what I was going through. I am a person that would rather help someone then to hurt them. Because I'd been there already and knew how it'd felt.
From then on, I read more journals. Journals about life in general, journals with rants. And we all know, we all need to rant! lol Got to let it out! :o) But, it didn't matter. :o) I did however, find my nich! :o) I now have my own little circle of journals that I do read on a regular basis! :o) When I get new readers that do leave their links, I do visit their journals as well. :o)

There are so many friends that I have meant through my journal! :o) And I wouldn't trade them for the world! :o) There have been some, of course, that we all go through, that we have to learn to just block out of our journals for certain reasons. And I find that sad. But we all keep moving on! :o)
You have you laugh...you have to smile...and you have to have friends in life! :o) Thats the best! :o)
I know I haven't been writing much at all lately. Just throwing in a few jokes and things! ;o) I have my reasons! :o) And in return, I hope my little "funnies" do make you laugh...! :o)
Hugs to all my readers, lurkers, and even haters! :o) {{{{}}}}

And when I do say thank you for all of your comments and emails....Please know....I REALLY DO MEAN IT!  Because they all do really keep me going! :o) So...Thank you! :o)
