Why Am I Blogging

I have always been told I was a good writer, but I have also always been shy about letting others read my writing. So, in some ways this “blog” thing is a way of facing my fear. Like most people, I don’t really like rejection, especially when I am putting my heart out there for people to dissect into tiny pieces. In my head, I hear the comments…has she lost her mind…WTF is she talking about…why is she blogging about this. But today I told a friend I was thinking about starting a blog…he said blogs can be refreshing and therapeutic. So, here is the start of something new for me. I don’t know what all I will blog about or even how often I will blog. But know that what I blog about will delve into who I am as a person and will also probably be the cheapest therapy I can get. I have come to the realization that sometimes just putting my feelings, fears, weaknesses, dreams and stuff out there kinda frees me from holding it in. I hold in so much. Probably because I grew up in a household where the mantra was don’t go telling people our business…I think I took it too literally. So, if you decide to read what I write and want to comment, great…it will only help me with my internal therapy sessions. If you get something from it or if you are motivated to try something new I will cheer you on. If you don’t like what I write that is ok too. We can all agree to disagree and to be frankly honest with you, you really don’t have to read anything I write…but I hope you will. I also hope you will comment and let me know your thoughts. Maybe this won’t just be my own personal there therapy session.
