Here I am once again writing things down, or typing them out, or whatever, wondering if someday someone will actually want to read them. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, but I think this time I have to keep writing, if for nothing else, my sanity. For me writing is a release. Some people do it because they “have to” and others because they are really good at it and make tons of money, and who knows why else? But for me it’s therapy. It’s getting all the thoughts and ideas in my head onto paper, or web space, or whatever.

I’ve been called a good writer before. Mostly by my mom, which is nice of her, but also by teachers and professors who say nice things and swell my pride to the bursting point. I’m not going to lie; I’d love to write a book that sells lots of copies or have a blog site that gets lots of hits. But even if I never do, I need to write because there is too much going on in my head to not put some of it somewhere else.

I used to write and then throw what I wrote away, or delete it. I wonder how many chapters of my book I could have filled with that stuff? It’s sort of irrelevant now. This is a new chapter and a fresh start. This is me writing what I think about, wrestling with what I am studying, reviewing what I am reading and really just filling space. There is a lot of space to be filled and a lot that needs to be said. I don’t think sitting on a gift people with brains and PhD’s say you should use is a wise investment. So here this thing goes. It’s going to be honest (when I feel like it), deep (sometimes), raw (maybe?), intelligent (hahaha) and who knows what else? Here we go!!!
