OK. So I'm not the greatest when it comes to keeping in touch with my family and friends. I get the same remarks from my cousins (Jewels, Oscar, lil Oscar), from my sister, old friends like Jessie in Vegas and Perry in L.A., my mother... you get the picture. After hearing the same old story from all of them, "Why don't you keep in touch?", I realized that it is not so much them but me who has a problem, a problem with keeping in touch and letting everyone know what I have been up to.
As most people know, I'm not the type of person who likes to talk about myself or talk about what is happening in my life. It's not that I'm ashamed or embarrassed, it's just I don't like to talk about myself or my feelings (which is a whole different story in it self). I keep to myself a lot. It may be due to the fact that I grew up as a fairly lonely child. It could be because as a kid I did not have someone I could open up to and share my feelings with, hence I do not know how or why I should. Whatever the case is, I am not comfortable with talking about myself.
Now that I have moved to Georgia, I realize how important my friends and family are to me and how important it is to keep in touch and up to date with their lives. I realize that I enjoy hearing from them whether it's from an unexpected call at home to an unexpected letter with a picture enclosed. So to return the favor I will of course make more attempts at calling them, writing them, and will try to put my computer skills to good use and create a web page where we all can come together and read about each other and what has been going on in our lives.
Enjoy...
