This is a secret diary. Funny that a secret diary should be posted on the internet. But this one is anonymous. Or at least as anonymous as I can make it.
For several years now I have had what you could call a rather drastic change of heart. Although raised in a strongly devout Catholic family, I was educated to university standard and I had, until recently, been engaged in a competitive, well-respected area of work.
To all but those few people closest to me, it would appear I have done everything according to the rule book. Degree - check. Good job - check. Boyfriends - check. Pubs, dating, city breaks, dinner parties, cocktails - check check check. Little of it made me as happy as I am now.
I turned my back on it, for the most part and I came home. I have given up the income, the independence, the lack of responsibility for anyone but myself and have thrown myself head first into what I always knew I really wanted: Marriage, Children and A Home Of My Very Own.
'Martha's Secret Vineyard' is just what it says. It is my beautiful, private retreat from the world and all it's stresses, expectations and disappointments.
