  You do have talents! Believe in yourself!

  I agree that you've got talents.  I used to keep a journal too, and then stopped shortly after I graduated high school.  I love how you've grown so much more positive.  And yeah, I'm learning as of late too that when I just keep positive and force through the negativity with positivity, it definitely has an effect on everything else in my life in a good way.  I'm glad you're going through the same!

    I'm impressed by you're communication skills alone. I speak several languages myself but that's my little secret  :o)  .  What is Tag-o-Matic ?

  I recently wrote about an artist that described the meaning of the word "beautiful."  I wish I could remember which one said it  (Monet?  Van Gogh?  Not sure...)  But I remember the quote:

  When you can't take away anything, or add anything else.

  Writing falls into that category of "art."

  Keep on writing, whether in a diary, here, or anywhere else.  You know when it's right.

  C-Man:  (I wondered what Tag-O-Matic was, too...who's tag and what it might lead to?)

  Queen...we all have talent!!!!  There are many things I can do, but you cannot (well, maybe not many); and there are many things you can do but I can't. 
   
  Since you love to blog I consider that a talent in of itself...we are the minority - most do not even pick up a magazine to read let alone write out their own thoughts. 
   
  Wombat - OH MY....LOVE IT! 

  When you can't take away anything, or add anything else.

  Writing falls into that category of "art."

  Is that why when I want to write a really good article it takes me 15 hours or more?  I use to be a columnist (business related topics) and I would sweat and bleed for hours until not a thing more could be done to perfect what I wanted to say.  Then, and only then would I give my piece to the publisher (I was rarely to never edited which I did take as a compliment).

  But the writing of the articles always sucked the life out of me in my need for perfection.

  I told my ex husband, "I'm either an 'artist type of writer' - OR a shitty one that can't spill out words without analyzing or manovering, or giving up completely to start all over...

  I like blogging because I have no pressure to write good (smiles).

  (speaking up: )   I am still stuck on even blogging here with the "perfection of writing" and the "with the nothing else can be added or taken away" concept.  That's why I love the edit feature.

  Glad to meet a real writer, and hear some feedback on what that's like.

  I also have a journal of my own queen, I have several notebooks kept that has my written anger, frustrations, success, happiness in life. It's kinda more dramatic there because i'm too lazy to change anything I write there, It's not edited like my posts here. :) when i finally had a computer I type in the computer and saved it in floppy disks. I still have all of it, and sometimes I'm shocked to discover who I was before and the difference from the person that I am right now. Keep writing, I find that when i spend quiet times to think my life through, I get more appreciative and grateful so i write about it. :) and expressing yourself in any way is pure unadulterated art in itself.

  Nice to put your thoughts down on the paper. it is better to get out those pent up feelings on the paper than on the person. Ella's comment above is appropiate. I don't have anything much to add - except as you said "keep on blogging"
