I've been debating for a while about doing a blog. What should it be about? Who do I want to be my audience? Do I really want to put everything out there for people to judge, laugh at, or even just comment on?
Most of the time I don't really care what other people think. Ok. Maybe I do, and I just try to pretend I don't. BUT, writing has become somewhat therapeutic for me. I've been through a lot of stuff in the past couple years (which I'll get into later) and I had a CaringBridge page during the last part of it. It really helped me to put stuff out there. I have also joined a bunch of groups on Facebook, and I realized there are a lot of people going through some really tough stuff. Some a lot tougher than what I went through. It has made me want to help other people, even if it's in a small way like reading my story so they can see that they are not alone.
So, here I am. I'm going to start this blog, and you're going to like it. Or not. Either way, it will make me feel better, and that's what counts.
