I write. Always (well...say for almost 20 years). In ordinary paper notebooks, moleskins, on the train tickets, blogs or/and most often simply in my head. I love it and it´s an important and quite healthy filter for my mind. In some better phases I am writing about the things that fascinate me: they are mostly average, like me. It´s nature, the "small", subcelullar and sub-me one with its ingenious complexity and simplicity and the "great" nature - mainly about hiking in mountains and traveling. And than there are worse periods when the "hero" in all my stories is... anorexia. My tricky lovedhated altrego´s accompanied me already for 9 years.
I plan to spend next 2 years studying in BigCity (hundrets kilometers from my curent home) and I really wish to enjoy my last two grad-years living fully and humanly, not automatically and "perfect" . This blog (inspired by some of fascinating recovery blogs which I´ve been reading for a while) is part of my Xth (X=myriad) attempt to recovery. So I´ll write about everyday changes and challenges which I would like to complete till summer. One of them is -surprisingly- weight restoration. Let´s see who will be the hero of this lap.
My english is poor, but not many ED-recovery-blogs are written in french or german and I like the possibility of interaction. I promise I will try to improve level of my language!
You don't give yourself enough credit, your English is worlds better than anything I could ever attempt in another language (despite living in Germany for 3 years!).
ReplyDeleteAs for seeing who is the hero...I would say that the fact that you're taking steps towards recovery, both mental and physical, already makes you a hero in my book. :) Best of luck, take care and treat yourself kindly.
Your English is extremely impressive, well done.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the nice comment. This is a very interesting read - I am also a recovering anorexic. It is very very hard, I constantly feel lost, I know how you feel.
It would be interesting to chat.
Nice to see you have found the light which wants to leave this all behind :)
I am reading all your blog entries...starting with this one so you will probably have several comments! x
