Why?
I used to have a million reasons to not start a blog. In my mind, blogs were outdated, they were places for people with too many thoughts and opinions and no where else to share them. Who reads blogs anymore? Who on earth would want to read mine?
So if this blog of mine now exists, it must mean that either my view of blogs has changed, or that I fit the descriptions above. And both are true.
I think a lot of my previous ideas about what blogs are, focused too exclusively on other people. What other people are doing, and what they think. Until recently, I'd never really thought much about what a blog would mean for me. I'd like to figure that out, as this thing develops.
Maybe I'll look back at these posts one day and cringe. I might cringe so hard I'll want to hide it or delete it. Or maybe, I'll look back and see how differently I used to think and appreciate the journey I went on. One thing I've been learning these days is that I'll never know the answer to all of these 'maybes' if the idea stays inside my head and never becomes something real. On my homepage at the moment, it says I'm a work in progress and it's true. Even in this first post, I'm learning and unlearning. So here's to taking chances, trying something new, and putting myself out there.
