I found this on Sorting the pieces, Sistercdr's journal and found myself intrigued. Her answers were wonderful and I suggest everyone take a peek at her corner of the world. I decided it was a challenge I'd like to propose to myself so here's to pulling the mask off for a bit of honest from within, rolling up the sleeves..........
I am not: afraid to write my mind
I hurt: when others are in need, hurt, pain, struggling, lost
I love: my family, nature, myself, honesty, writing
I hate: people who intentionally hurt others, oh and worms
I fear: I will never feel complete
I hope: I make a difference in the lives of the people that I care about
I hear: when people talk
I crave: understanding and connection
I regret: the things that haunt me, bad choices, irreplaceable moments lost
I cry:
I care: about my children, life, people
I always: listen to music, carry a journal for writing and stop to listen to people
I long to: break away from mundane, do what I am passionate about, love who I am passionate for
I feel alone: everyday
I listen: if people need to talk, I stay silent
I hide: behind silence and written words
I drive: with loud music, no road rage and all the time
I sing: never, but I love to listen to music
I dance: everyday with my children
I write: because in writing I have a voice, no boundries, no rules
I breathe: the best when I am in the mountains
I play: as often as possible
I miss: Feeling safe, secure and loved
I feel: I take in others issue's to much, take in others problems too much, take in others pain too much, it doesn't leave much room for myself and I allow myself to fall to the wayside
I know: I have a purpose, a mission, a journey, a moment in time
I say: These are my thoughts
I search: for the good in everyone, for the answers my mind won't stop searching for
I learn: through bad choices, through experience, through always searching for truth
I succeed: through tenacious hard work
I fail: when I lose sight of whats most important to myself
I dream: of a golden horizon, of a touch of inspiration on my shoulder, of the why not's
I sleep: because I have too
I wonder: If I make the right choices
I want: my actions to catch up with my thoughts
I worry: that time will beat me
I have: so much more to accomplish
I give: everything I can to anyone in need
I fight: within myself
I wait: for the right moment, for the right time
I need: courage
I am: a riddle
I think: Humanity needs kindness
I can't help the fact that: I feel the need to dig alittle deeper in every aspect of life
I stay: Hidden until further notice

Thank you so much for the warm mention. This was an interesting and eye opening exercise for me, and I've really enjoyed reading other's responses as well.
The mask came off-how did that feel? Great entry- I will do my own today if I get a chance!
"I write: because in writing I have a voice, no boundries, no rules"
Isn't that the truth? Thank you for giving me a peek into your inner self. It bothers me at times when J people feel that they have to censor their writing and tailor it for the J community's benefit. I'll only agree to that if one is being malicious or delving into vulgar or unethical subjects. Otherwise, this is a free country and we all are entitled to our thoughts and opinions. Have a great week, R! I write: because in writing I have a voice, no boundries, no rules
No~your guilty! No inspiration flowing through my bones yet~not even to catch up on housework:) But I must....
great list!
I LOVE
I stay: hidden until further notice
I am: a riddle
me too. :)
What a wonderful journal you have. "So here's to pulling the mask off for a bit of honest from within." We wear soooo many masks in any given day that it IS comforting to come to journal land and open up...to be the person we want to be...to be the person we truly are.
As for your "inspire" entry...well...it was very inspirational. You seem to have put the word inspire in the right light...well...at least for me. I used your entry to explain to another journal writer how her words made me feel. If only I could put my feelings and thoughts into writing the way you do...::sigh::
...sweetest dreams...Terry
Interesting.....never seen a survey or Q&A like this one...I like it so much that I am doing the same and going to put my answers (As soon as I finish it) into my journal....I'll put links back to both you and SisterCDr's journals as you did. THANKS! I hope things continue to progress for your mother and will keep her in my prayers.

I am alway so impressed with your journal and writing, I DO enjoy it...I will do the questionaire too and post it asap ;o)
Peace to you and yours, Renee
In this entry, you write that you fear that you will "never feel complete"... Now, nearly 2 1/2 years later, I wonder if you have yet to "feel complete"... Hmm, is that humanly even possible? I mean with our human instincts of always wanting more, and more, in whatever form or fashion, almost to the point of wanting to achieve that which is Unachievable = Perfection... I feel, as humans, it's impossible... But, "nearly" is good enough for me!!!... Then again, others will argue "perfection" is in the eyes of the beholder, perhaps... but, that's just cheatin style! LOL ;oP
Also, in this entry you write that you "feel alone everyday"... I wonder if you still feel this way everyday now, in your present life? Being alone and feelings of loneliness can be a good and/or bad thing... I wonder if you embraced these feelings then, or now?...or cherished them?... or felt bitter with them?... OR?
