Ouch, This Hurts

I've spent the past few hours trying to see if there is a way for me to recover the contents of my old blog. So far, no luck. I'm frustrated but that's alright. I kind of like starting over. Reinventing myself is something that I love. Being a student of life and giving myself permission to change is something I have worked very hard at embracing. What I don't like is the idea that three years worth of writing and photography (I still have all the images) is gone. Losing the content of my previous blog is like the time my ex-girlfriend insisted I throw away my journals. That hurts a lot more than this...
