Even videos/links that I share on Facebook seem to cause controversy. I find myself censoring myself even though this is MY blog.
What in the hell is that about?
Life is hard. I've had a shitty year. I am re-learning life in a lot of ways. I'm re-evaluating things. I may make you feel uncomfortable, awkward and upset. Please know that those reactions are not my intention.
You see, I am inherently a pretty sensitive and aware person. Sure, I am strong-willed, but I am respectful. I am always trying to make people feel comfortable and secure. I could write about my childhood and perform a psychoanalysis on the reasonings behind the way I am, but that isn't important here and now.
It's all about honesty and expression. I don't think people listen to me sometimes. I feel like I cannot express how I feel without being talked over, misinterpreted or without some people bizarrely making it about them. (For those interested, read about active listening. It's pretty amazing.)
By blogging about my feelings, I hope to shed some light, encourage thought and express myself.
When I started this blog, I wanted to write about writing. It has evolved to posts about a lot of different things (jobs, life, grieving) and I am okay with that.
I cannot promise that I will not write about my anger and frustrations. I cannot promise that I will not offend. I cannot promise that everything will be picture perfect. Hell, I cannot even promise perfect grammar.
This is what I can promise:
- Truth
- Mistakes
- A showing of my proverbial warts
- Raw emotions
- Introspection
- Retrospection
- Mostly positivity
- A little negativity
- Humor
- Sadness
- Growth
- Healing
- A business launch! (Whoo hoo!)
Oh, and for God's sake, start your own blog or YouTube channel if you want to express yourself and get your stuff out there. In today's day and age, it's really the best way to do it!
