New Years Day

I've always said that blogging was a silly way of expressing yourself, afterall, you are publishing your thoughts and opinions to the world whether they care about what you have to say or not.

BUT I am a writer. I love to write my thoughts down...I have been doing so since a very young age and regardless of whether anyone wanted to read it, it was my way of expressing to others how I am, who I am, and why I am that way.

Now, today is New Years Day of 2011 and I think that this is a time for change in my life. I have had a great deal of commotion happen in 2010 and years past and much of it I'd rather not reflect on. I have had a great deal of love and loss in my life and I am thankful for who these experiences have made me, but bitter with them for lashing my heart with so much pain.

However, since I am a writer and love letting those experiences lay on paper instead of on my shoulders, I will write about whatever my heart desires and whatever my thoughts happen to land on. My words are merely an understanding of what I know and what I feel.

A word of caution to all who read this, it may not be all joy and smiles as far as I'm concerned. Much of my previous writing reflects my feelings of anger and frustration and I'd hate to offend anyone. Therefore, I will try to not use names, and if there is a need for a name to arrise, I will be using incorrect names. Those who know me will know of whom I'm speaking, and those who dont care, dont need to know the correct names.

This blog, in essence, is not for my audience. Its only purpose is to release my thoughts, my stresses, my confusions, and my insights onto a screen and recieve some comfort in knowing that my words meant something. They are not in a locked file on my computer or safely hidden in a journal on the top shelf. Instead, I choose to share these views with people in hopes that they understand what I am saying.
