the experience of writing

When last year Mister Lizarraga told us about the blog stuff, he was really exited about the thing, and I was so freaking angry. Like I didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary. You know, books and stuff. But that's just not what he had in mind.
By that time I didn't have Internet at home yet and the idea of going to the stupid cyber and having to actually interact with the guy in charge made me feel crazy.
The good thing is that because I was so messed up, I didn't have to go to the cyber so many times ('cause I didn't go on with the subject). And this year, because I got 'Charlisized' or something, I decided to get the service of Internet at home. And it has been great, 'cause it really gave me the chance to write at the moment I felt like writing. So I've been able to write when I was feeling great, or when I was sad, or angry. It has really had a therapeutic effect on me.
I was able to put on the paper (or screen), what I had in mind at that precise moment.
Last year, I got to know new aspects of myself due to the blog. The problem is that I didn't like at all what I saw inside me, and that, together with the reality af having quite a complicated year, turned into this dangerous cocktail.
But this year has been all right, and I got to accept al least some of the things I discovered last year. Now I know that if I am blue, or depressed, it's ok: no one will die and things will get better at some point. I know I had already written about this idea before, but now I believe myself.
So I look behind now, I compare my last year's entries and I clearly see how much some things have changed.
I'm not going to lie. At the beginning I really didn't like the idea of the blog at all, but once I got acostummed to it, and also once I made friends with tecnology, I was able to enjoy of this creative process.
So Charlie, well done! And thanks!
