I've started a number of blogs over the years. I am a lover of language and enjoy expressing myself through written word. I've made so many excuses over the years about why I never write more than a few posts - I'm too busy…no one will read...I've run out of things to say. But those are all lies I've concocted to protect me from one of my own dark and ugly truths.
The reality is that I rarely finish anything I start. Partly because I'm a perfectionist and can't handle when my efforts don't yield the exact result I'm looking for. Partly because I underestimate the time and resources needed to complete the goals I set. Partly because I'm afraid of failing. But it's mostly because I'm far more lazy than I'd ever care to admit.
So here I am on the brink of 30 not having accomplished many of the things I had planned to before reaching this milestone in my life. Sometimes I get discouraged. I get caught up in the notion that I peaked too early. Then I'm reminded of all the good I've done. All the beauty I've created. All the lessons I've learned and I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the life I've been privileged enough to lead this far. I'm hoping to share just a bit of that journey with you here.
So here's a blog I plan to “finish” before my 30th birthday. I'll share intimate things. Funny things. Heartwarming things. Heartbreaking things. I'll grant you tiny glimpses of the woman I've become over the years. This is my gift to myself. Happy reading.
