How Juggling a Journal Made Me a Heartbroken Lover

I’ve been writing in journals on and off most of my life. I chose the name “Island Breezes” for the journals of my later life. I have to admit that I’ve been unfaithful . I would cling to my journals and write up a fury when I was upset, hurt or in the midst of the many crisis laden times in my soap opera life. Then I would neglect them during sunny days.
Well no more. I have periodically tossed out my journals like young lovers I’ve outgrown. Now that I’m more experienced I’ve left them behind for my Sunny Island Breezes. I did attempt to procure the Island Breezes name for my site, but as I feared an old nemesis stole my first love when I was young and inexperienced on the net. If I had been “around the block” more times, so to speak, I would not have lost that love to internet land. I very naively gave an online mini-journal that beloved name and had it callously ripped away from my heart by someone more experienced. This person purloined my love and tried to sell it back to me as a domain. Heartbroken, I cried “How dare you,” as I turned my back on that unfaithful love and fled.
Ah, but now I know that young love can be so very foolish. When we’re hurt, we can toss it all out, the good along with the bad. So I wept and vowed I’d not let anyone come into my life and hurt me again. Only a fool would show back up on the internet for more abuse!
But boys and girls, here I am! Back with sunny days, lounging on the beach of my mind, feeling the gentle breezes of the palms and ready to let a new love back into my life.
And now you are in on the birth of Sunny Island Breezes. Share my private island with me and tell me where you would like for us to travel together. The world is a big, wonderful place. Fasten your seatbelt. We’re ready for take off!
