Who Am I?

Just in case you were wondering who I am (my apologies for not doing this sooner), I am a complex, profoundly emotional, comma-happy woman who finds herself always thinking about everything. I worry alot and sweat the small stuff way too much but I'm working on that. Writing is one of the venues through which I allow myself to be vulnerable without the repercussions others' opinions. Early on I found that I could reveal my soul using language and that I enjoy doing it. My blog is a way that I can slow down and take a deep breath, sort through the labyrinth of my wandering, sometimes lustful thoughts, and organize my ideas so that they exhibit some resemblance of continuity.


At thirty-something, after having spent much of my twenties thinking that I'd learned everything there was to learn and becoming quite jaded, I might add, I have found myself in new and exciting adventures that have expanded my horizons and thought processes. I flirted with the idea of blogging for a while but it never seemed to be the right time. Now seems just about as good a time as any because moreso than at any other time in my life, I am not only experiencing, but respecting and appreciating the ebb and flow of life's fluxing, and realizing that nothing ever remains the same. Hopefully, this realization will liberate me from repeating the same mistakes of projecting unrealistic expectations on others and most importantly, upon myself. I am resolving to try to allow life to just be what it is; fluid, challenging, and tempestuous at times, tranquil, sweet and gentle at others. The entries on my blogs will reflect what I am experiencing through different writing styles, whether it be a short story, poem, rant, or just an inquisitive thought.
