[fresh start]

Hello blogging world.

I used to blog all the time. In high school I was big into Xanga (just like everybody else). I remember rushing home to write something down in my blog after school and hopefully receive 7-10 comments by mid-evening. You could pretty much say I was addicted. I finally gave blogging up when I went to college (Facebook- what can I say?). I'm now realizing how much I miss writing down my thoughts. So here I am again.

Actually, to be honest, I'm starting to blog again because I need it. As we grow older, we recognize our own learning styles and begin to see our faults and weaknesses. I'm on that journey now. I'm finding that one of the best ways I learn and change is by expressing my thoughts. I'm a thinker, but if I don't ever share with someone what I'm thinking I may as well not have thought it. Writing allows me the ability to express my thoughts, feelings, and questions without having to A.) look like an idiot if I haven't completely thought something through or B.) talk someone's ear off while I do completely think something through. That's my learning style. A few of my weaknesses that I've discovered include disorganization and an undisciplined nature. Blogging helps me organize my thoughts and discipline my time. It's not easy for me to sit still and write something out, but I always find that I benefit so much from doing it! My goal is to force myself to write on here at LEAST once a week (hopefully more, but let's start off slow).

So I'm back, bloggers. Only a few will probably ever read this, but that's ok. I need a place to express myself and learn at the same time.

Here's to becoming the person I desire to be…
