Old Thoughts', New Thoughts', New at This, and a New Year ...
_________________________________________________

I'm really new at all this, so hope I'm getting a decent start.
I love to write as an outlet for whatever I'm feeling and I've always had a need to write mainly just for myself, and to sort things through. I also enjoy writing, and at times it can be way too emotionally draining to even think about. I'm no professional writer, but that isn't why I write anyway. In a lot of ways, I can see how being a professional writer would have its cons as well as its pros. I just want to write what I'm thinking about and feeling when I write. ... When I write I really get into it, all of the conflicting thoughts, feelings, emotions, opinions and everything else that involves. And it's been quite awhile since I've written that private 'stuff' that we all have within us, so yeah, I feel awkward and well, vulnerable. ... With so many people writing personal journals, public blogs, etc., for some reason I just decided to give it a try myself. I hadn't ever had an interest in doing so before, but since I needed an outlet, and writing is how I express myself, or try to anyway, I thought about it and decided if I'm going to do so anyway, why not try to do so in this kind of format. .. I guess its fitting to start the New Year doing what to me is not only creative to and for me, but hopefully constructive, not to mention that hey! I want to try this!
While I was checking out the various blogs, I came across SoulCast, and the Anonymity, Free Speech and the Privacy concerns all of which I value highly, and of which frighteningly there is so little of anywhere, was what helped me 'take the leap' and also the emphasis on what the writer is saying rather than the bells & whistles with little to no substance that abounds everywhere, or just about everywhere. ... I don't doubt I'll make some very embarrassing mistakes, as all this is quite new for me, but that's ok. .. I'm not consistent in that I could write a post everyday, but I want to have things to say when I do, and that matters more than the amount of posts I would write. .. Actually, I have a lot on my mind, stuff I'd like to write, but as this is my first post, I think I'll just leave this just as it is.
