Blogging

I remember when I discovered blogging in 2002, along with things like instant messaging, hotmail, and "LOL", being told that eventually everyone would have a "personal website". Seemed hard to believe, but obviously became a quick reality.

I loved to blog for a long time. To give others a glimpse of myself, not easily communicated in person where nonverbal cues, fear of rejection, confrontation, and a desire to please others seemed to interfere with allowing my heart to be seen.

As time elapsed, I became less concerned with the opinions of others and being myself became easier. And I think as I grew in this way, there was less of a need to blog.

With a fresh understanding of why i've been disenchanted by blogging, I think I want to start again. But as what kind of outlet and for whom and why? I don't know.

For starters: I would like this to be a place for things of importance, for myself and anyone who might benefit, to recognize beauty, find meaning, and strive towards wholeness.
