My name

Tara; the name of strength, the name of power, and the name of pride. The name Tara literally means, ‘mountain.’ However, I tend to believe that I don’t live up to my namesake as much as I would like. I would like to say that I’ve come a long way with my name more than I had in the past. While in my younger years, I hated the name Tara, I was nothing like it. However with time I’ve come to accept it and try to live with it. I have some strength, I have some power when it concerns friends and family but I try not to have too much pride. It’s something to work on for the future if I ever want to change but for the time being it’s doable.

While the name Tara has the meaning of strength and unmovable, there are a couple nicknames, which completely contradicts the meaning. One of the teasing names that I’ve had ever since I was little was ‘Tare-Bear’. I used to hate the name because it was so cutesy and whatnot, however now that I’m older I can appreciate it a bit more because it’s a part of who I am. I’m not just strength, pride, and power; I’m also a girl who loves gummy-bears, cartoons, children, animals, and just anything sweet. I suppose in some retrospect there is more than just one ideal outlook on all our personalities, inside of us is a whole nother person just waiting to emerge.

Journal Keeping Part 1

What do you think about keeping a journal? :

I personally don't have an opinion on that at the moment. I've never actually kept my very own journal or diary for that matter. I had a poem book that was sort of like a journal however I'd go weeks to months without using it and then forget all about it. If you don't use it at a constant, than what's the point of having a journal? I'd try to keep an optimistic mind about this but it can't be held against me if I utterly and completely fail at having one of these. As some minds work, "It's better to bottle up things rather than to reveal your hidden thoughts and be judged ."

What would you like to write about? :

I personally don't have much of an opinion on what we should write about. I think it should be something that we've all experienced so we're not trying to go out into the 'left field,' in order to find an answer to something we know nothing about. Personal goals and ambitions for the future might be something exciting to hear and read about.
