Again I Lay Awake…
March 8, 2007
It’s midnight, and I’ve been laying wide awake next to my sleeping wife for the last 2 hours. Again an opportunity to write.
In my first entry, I intentionally told you very little about myself, and I will continue to make my entries as anonymous as possible. Perhaps one day a friend, acquaintance or family member will come across this journal and identify me through recognition of experiences. I would imagine that when that time comes, my story will spread like wild fire to everyone who ever knew me. I only hope that those close to me have the wisdom to understand that I am not the boy I once was.
Today is March 7th, 2007, and I graduated from the University of _______ only two short years ago. In the Spring of 2005, 3 months prior to graduation, I met the girl of my dreams (let’s call her Cali); I knew immediately that I would one day make her my wife. After graduation I began my career at a prestigious professional firm where I work an abominable number of hours. So far I have proven very successful, and the future looks bright. Six months after meeting Cali, I asked her to be my wife, and we were married eight months later.
That is me today. The hardworking, newly married young man. What you will read over the next few weeks is not not a story of that man, but of a different boy completely…
