Here it Goes

So here it is. I'm caving. I'm starting a blog. For a couple of reasons. And here they are--

Reason 1:
Like I said, I'm caving. I'm going the band-wagon. Everyone around me seems to be starting a blog, and I've never really understood the point of one until I started reading some of the posts from my friends. To be honest, I kind of like them. Yes, I have a journal and will continue to write in it as often as I can, but the idea of sharing my ideas with others is intriguing to me.

Reason 2:
Typing on a computer is much easier and less time consuming than writing in my journal (although I still love it and will continue to keep up in my journal writing).

Reason 3:
I have found that I can express myself sooo much better when I am writing.

I was talking with a friend back from home about life, and I somehow ended up giving him a sort of pep talk (I don't know why, but that happens to me more often than not). Then he remarked how it was funny that we never were really that close when I was back home in high school, but now we were able to have these "deep" conversations. There is a simple explanation for this. I speak my mind when I am writing things to people. I am more willing to express myself, and do it much better when I am typing or writing something down on paper. If anyone ever really wanted to get some of my thoughts out of me, interrogating me would NOT be the best way to go. Get a letter from me, an email, and that is from my soul. I'm not afraid to talk to people when it's over the internet. Yes, this is pathetic, I realize that and I would like nothing better than to be able to fix that and talk to people more freely face-to-face, but in the meantime, this is where I come to a compromise.

Simply put, this blog is me. Uncensored and unfiltered. I want to share my significant thoughts with people. I want to help others realize their potential. I want to respond to people's questions without hesitation or restraint. So people, feel free to share with me what you will. I don't predict that many of my friends or family will really follow this blog, and I don't know how often I will really update this, but I want to be optimistic. So to the people that will actually keep up with this blog, feel free to message me, text me, email me, or even (heaven forbid) talk to me in person. Ask me a question, and I will respond to it here. I will tell you what I really think. A simple answer to a question makes all the difference.

Life really is simple. It's us that chose to make it so complicated.
