I’ve been blogging since 2009! I just realized this that I’ve been writing consistently and that made me :). My artist friend Larsen set this site up for me gratis and I was really nervous about a truly public blog attached to my name. This blog started in April 2010 but I have an older one that was on-the-down-low that I maintained for myself. I read that entire old thing and I guess it’s strange because I forgot about all that stuff that I wrote about. I really did. I go into a weird zone when I write. I just, spew. I’ve always been like this. Even in papers I wrote in college, I can go back and read them and not know I wrote them but, I did write them. Same thing with the blogging… I was like, “Oh, I wrote that?”. I’ve kept journals I think since I was in Elementary school when we called them DIARY. “dear diary…”… more, like “Dear God” and I think I even wrote to my childhood dead cat once. (weird morbid kiddo).

So anyway, I used to read my old diaries and feel really embarrassed or amused because it was so naive or just… very youthful thinking and the voice was just, YOUNG. And it was nice to read things just from a few years ago and not have that feeling anymore. I was kind of connecting with thoughts that make much more sense now and hold even more meaning or give me a sense of peace.

I’m going to continue to blog. I’m going to post blogs I wrote while this site was down later tonight but just wanted to immediately… get something down.
