The beginning

 Recently, I've has an interaction that left me thinking and reflecting on myself. I was told that my experiences, train of thought and way of life made it seem like I was in my own world completely. I got the offer to consider being a motivational speaker, but I also tend to get nervous when speaking in front of a big crowd. I prefer to write, and I tend to write quite often, just not like this. Usually it's in my journal or a train of thoughts that can be found in a paragraph of a text that just never get sent. I'm not one to share my thoughts or emotions with other people as I grew up thinking that I would burden others with my sadness, stress or weaknesses. Therefore, it's only on rare occasions that I share things with people. Friends, relationships and even family, it becomes difficult, but that's a story for another day. When I'm writing, it's a different sensation completely. It's this escape for me that I can't seem to find in a lot of other things. I'm a person who has a lot to say but not enough freedom to say it out loud. It's not everyday you get the opportunity to talk in this way specifically. When I'm writing, I don't need to think about the judgement of others, or how they may respond in that given moment. I don't need to worry about finding the right words in a second or wishing that I didn't say something that was already said. All of these worries can be erased with a simple press of the delete button. And I think that's what I enjoy most about writing. Therefore, this is where I want to share my thoughts somewhere other than my journal. I want the opportunity of my thoughts to stretch beyond my limited circle. And even if it never does actually reach anywhere but my own eyes, the idea of writing to someone other than myself is something I've wanted to do for a while. I have so many messages, life lessons and things I have yet to put out into the world. 

Therefore, reader, I hope you can find something in this blog that interests you, something that catches your eye, or maybe simply something that you can sit in on a day or two and read through. Enjoy.
