“Just let your heart lead and your feet will follow, and we’ll bound and leap like a gentle breeze. Bound and leap like a zephyr set free. Bound, and, of course, leap.” – Milo & Otis
Tonight I decided that I need to start a blog. I know that it is quite possible that I might be the only person to ever read this, but even if that is the case I think it is very worthwhile to keep somewhat of a journal, even if others have the option of reading it. The question is this – since I’m aware that friends and family are able to read it, should I be completely honest? My answer is yes… because when it comes down to it, I’m writing for myself. I’m writing so that I can look back on my days and say “oh, on that day I was thinking about ______”. And then I’ll proceed to make fun of myself and let others make fun of me because, let’s face it, what else do people do when they read stuff that they wrote in the past? The only journal I ever kept was when I was in 4th grade, and I wrote that I dreamed about the boy I had a crush on. It’s embarrassing, but at the same time it is so much fun to read it over and over and try to recall the time that I wrote it. Okay, so that updates you on why I started this blog, and I’ll try my best to write as often as possible… and again let it be known that I’m writing for myself, and if anything offends you, or if I write something that you find surprising, or if you find something out about me you didn’t previously know, find comfort in the fact that I’m being honest and that I’m using this blog as a place to put my thoughts – even if it means they aren’t MY thoughts anymore.
goodnight.
