Apprehension or nervousness?
Published April 5th, 2007 in PersonalSo, I’ve had this draft of a post sitting in WordPress for like, the last month or so… and it’s meant to be all about what I’ve been up to for the last two months or so. Eventually, I’ll get around to updating it properly. You can see photos here, however. Maybe even put a comment or two :P
Anyways, I’m going up to Brisbane for the Easter weekend. It’s not my first time going to Brisbane, but it is my first time visiting Mike’s family. I’m not really sure what to expect and I feel like there’s pressure on me to… well, I don’t know. I’ve met them before and have gotten along with them all so really there’s nothing to be worried about. But that doesn’t mean I don’t worry anyways. Naturally I feel like I’m going to be judged. That’s normal isn’t it? I’m sure my parents judge Mike every time he comes over, even if they don’t say anything. Perhaps it’s more that I’m putting some pressure on myself? I want to be liked and accepted. Perhaps I just want to be deemed ‘worthy’.
Hopefully when I get back, I’ll have time to finish off that post and start blogging regularly again. I know that I haven’t written for like 2 months, but partly that’s because I’ve found other avenues for getting stuff out. Blogging is a great platform for venting about everyday life and things. But I’ve found recently that e-mailing is in some ways, more therapeutic. You get a well thought out response from someone who cares and has an interest on what you’re saying. There’s feedback to your thoughts and new insights. Whilst I don’t think it will take over blogging, I’ve been a bit stretched for time and have found it to be a more rewarding investment at the moment.
