Let Myself Live

I was asked not so long ago, "Why do you write?" An interesting quandary to say the least, but I think I might have isolated the catalyst for my literary ventures. The simplest answer is, I write to process. I never thought of myself as much of a writer until I started putting pen to paper (errr... fingers to keyboard) about three years ago. Now, it is one of the places where I am happiest and a place for self discovery.

I hope those who read this blog understand that my compilation of expositions is nothing more than my own personal outlet to understand the world around me and where I fit, thereby better understanding myself along the way. I believe that in our collective culture sometimes we are overwhelmed by events, issues, and people in our lives for a host of reasons. Events in our lives can be frightening or exciting causing us stress, but we often fail to truly examine the reason why these things cause impact the ways we think and feel. Even more importantly, sometimes we fail to see that by a person or event challenging us we are actually growing, the alternative results without hurdles to overcome could often be worse than the reality in which we live.

Thus, I suppose I'm writing this to tell people that I have no vendettas or ulterior motives while writing this blog. I am writing for me to help me navigate my search for a lasting healthy loving relationship. If you happen to relate to what I'm writing, tell me why! If you disagree with me, let me know that, too. Or, if you happen to think I'm writing about you, well, then I suppose you may have stumbled upon information that will give you the upper hand in our interactions. You may either choose to confront me, or change your actions, or simply ignore what is written here and pretend you are ignorant of my thoughts and emotions.

How you interact with my musings is ultimately up to you, but I truly own what is written here. They are my thoughts and feelings. I hope that other people will relate to my experiences and maybe we can help navigate this crazy world together - or at least know we are not alone.
