Confusion

There are times in life when we misplace things. Whether it's your car keys, cell phone, sunglasses etc. We search around frantically trying to find them, angry for not remembering where you put them. These are frustrating times, and can be quite difficult to find lost items, but sometimes the hardest item to find is oneself. I used to think I knew who I was. But now I am frantically searching to find who I really am. I was the lazy, scruffy, skater chick, who was defined by skateboarding in every aspect of my life. The way I thought, how I dressed, and who I hung out with. I no longer have my identity in skateboarding or in anything else and I am feeling the need to find something to put my identity into. The problem is, I don't know what it is I want to put it in. It used to be I am Lindsey Vale and I am a skateboarder. Hmm maybe I can think of some of my options as of right now.....

I am Lindsey Vale and I am a vegetarian

a health freak

a writer

a runner

an artist

none of these labels seem to give me the same pride as a skateboarder. But it's time I find a new label, something new that defines me. But what is it? I hope I figure it out soon. I am still lost, misplaced. I need to find myself.

A New Beginning

It's a new beginning and a start of a big adventure. My name is Lindsey Vale and it seems as if I am introducing myself, to myself for the first time. In just a few months my life seems to have changed pretty drastically. I was an insecure tomboy with a skateboard in one hand an my security blanket in the other. ( my boyfriend ). I have a new boyfriend now, and I am no longer a skateboarder. My hair is frequently worn down instead of the usual ponytail. I run to stay in shape, and I care about how I look. I guess after all these years I finally found my feminine side. It's official, I have become all that I stood against. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing though. I have matured more in the last 6 months than I have in my whole life. It is as if something just clicked, and I decided I needed to change. I guess I will see what the rest of this year has in store.

Introduction

I am not really sure why, but for some reason I got the urge to publish my personal journal as a blog. Everything I will post will be very personal and real. Normally people hide their journals in places that they don't think it will ever be found, but mine will now be on the internet for the whole world to see. I am sure people have better things to do than read about my life, but maybe some can relate, or maybe some are just bored and just trying to pass some time. Whatever your reason is for stopping by my blog, I hope you enjoy because there is no need to feel guilty about reading this journal!
