To blog or not to blog..

So everyone is doing this whole blogging thing and I thought it seemed sorta cool. But I created this thing forever ago and never wrote in it. It kind of freaks me out to be honest. It so public, it's like (this is going to sound dumb) exhibitionism - and there is nothing "ex" about my "hibitions." You can laugh at me. It's okay. But I'm really a private person. I don't let many into my head. I despise how people misjudge based on small bits of information. As I write this, I know it must seem odd that I'd fear that.

We're taught as kids to keep our diaries secret. We all wanted the special ones with the little lock and key (as if that would really keep anyone out) and kept them between our mattresses so our moms wouldn't find them. You all did it. My mom would always find it and read it. I gave up writing. So now we write down whatever, and we actually invite people to view it and {gasp} make comments about it.

I think I have to get used to the whole thing. So here I am because I think I truly enjoy writing. I've got lots to say. Lots of opinions. Lots of ups. Lots of downs. Lots of stuff. Things to work though and get out of my head. So maybe I can sleep at night instead of thinking. Hhhmm.

Maybe this will be a good thing. Maybe it will.
