You Have to Start Somewhere

Well everyone, here we go!

Do I have any idea what I'm doing? No. Am I a writer? Far from it. Am I going to still give this a go? You bet your bottom dollar I am!

So why do I even want to make a blog in the first place? I've thought about it a lot and I was never quite sure what my answer was. I'm not a writer by any means. I'm terrible at putting my thoughts down on pen and paper. Maybe that's why I've never been able to keep a steady journal. But, when you put me in front of a computer, my fingers just go and the thoughts seem to flow. I guess a blog will be a place for me to share all of those thoughts.

That's the purpose of this blog...to share. I don't have intentions of changing the world. I don't want to be "internet famous" (whatever that means). I just want to share things about myself, experiences I've had, things I've learned along the way. I will post things about my past, present, and future. I think a lot of times I'll discuss happy things, the things that bring me true joy in life. On the other hand, there will be posts that are raw and sensitive, probably surprising most of you. That's life though. We all have ups and downs, you can't have the good without the bad.

As a reader, if you're able to get something out of what I share, that just makes this journey even better.  I hope that for those of you who know me, you get to know me even better. For those of you who have never met me, I hope you get to know me.

I made a post on Facebook expressing concern of, "Would anyone even read my blog?". It was the encouraging words of others that got me to take this leap of faith. So, maybe you'll read it once and be done. Maybe you'll read every post religiously. Maybe you'll visit every once in a while. Maybe you don't read any of it. In the end, any and all of those are ok with me.

I'm ok with feedback or thoughts as long as cyber bullying doesn't take place. That is one thing I will not tolerate.

Please don't give me an English lesson either. I took English in college and passed without issue. I will use punctuation incorrectly (or not often enough). I will have run-on sentences. I will have sentence fragments. Ultimately, I don't care. I'm not writing an award-winning college essay here people. (There's humor in this, hopefully you know I'm not that much of a prick)

I guess I just realized that I'll have to convey my humor in writing. Talk about a difficult task. See, I'm already learning things from this blog! ;)

I hope to be vulnerable with this. I'm usually a pretty private person, unless your my best friend and then you know more about me than you ever thought possible. It's a risk putting your thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences out there for the world to know. At this point it's a risk I'm willing to take.

So here I am, I've made my first blog post. Do you all really know what you're in for? Do I even know what I'm in for? Hopefully you're ready to begin this journey with me and we'll see where we end up :)
