Dear Diary, January 16, 1985 (12 years old)

Sorry I didn't write yesterday but I was so tired! I went to fitness class with mom. I wore a dress today to school! Blah blah is going to have a sleepover at her grandma's house! On any weekend after the 25th. We have a club now. It's called the B.A's. The best and awesomest.....I might be sleeping over at Blah blah's this weekend. And I'll have to ride up to the ski hill with Blah Blah or whoever I can find! Because Mom and Dad have dentist appointments! Love Crystal

January 16, 2021. LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN!!!

Welcome Welcome Welcome!!! I actually posted my first blog post 6 days ago but had some issues getting this domain thing figured out..... BUT HERE I AM!!

I love in my entry above that we created a club called the B.A.'s 😁. Talk about girl power!! Like I said, my friends were very important to me and what better friends to surround myself with other than the Best and the Awesomest??

Just a few short moments ago when my website went live I was so excited! (Gyrating in the kitchen excited) and I was telling Ken that it has always been something I have wanted to do for years but for many reasons I always talked myself out of doing it. A few of the reasons I came up with were → I don't have time to set it up, I don't know how to set it up, it will be a lot of work, but the biggest reason of all was WHO WILL CARE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY? Even better, WHY would anyone care about what I have to say? After years of self reflection and growth I can now answer those questions with "IT DOESN'T MATTER". It does not matter if I have one person who reads my post or a hundred. I am writing because I love to share life. I put it out there and you can do with it what you will! Take something from it and change your perspective or do nothing with it, it don't matter 😃

If any of you are thinking of doing something similar I say GO FOR IT!!! You're gonna die anyways ⚰️💀. Sorry, if that's the first time you are letting that sink in. If there is ☝🏻certain thing you can depend on in this life, it is, that it will not last. That's what got me to finally start this blog. I do not want the moments before my time here is done to be filled with passivity, humdrum, same ol' same ol', just because I was too scared to try something out!

On a different note, entirely, I would like to address something that really gets my knickers in a knot. I am NOT getting the covid vaccine. It is a personal decision. And it really is no one else's business whether or not I am getting it OR my reasons why I am not getting it. People will judge. But people do not live in this body and inhabit this being. I respect people's decisions to get the vaccine. I also ask that people respect the decision's of those of us who are not getting the vaccine. And I think you would be surprised at the amount of people who actually do not want to get it but are being pressured into getting it. I can personally attest to speaking with many people who are seriously stressed about doing it because they are being passively aggressively bullied into it.

So on that note... I may have just killed any chance of having subscribers!! LOL!!! But like I said.... I don't care! Please feel free to comment below if you feel it calls to you!
