Why the blog?

So, starting a blog feels a little narcissistic...but, sometimes I feel like I have a lot to say and no one to talk to...

Several months ago, something happened to me that nearly destroyed me...and I'm not being dramatic; this is absolutely true. I found myself in a place that I never thought I'd ever be, and it was the most difficult thing I've ever had to experience. On the plus side, it forced me to look at myself reflectively, at who I was and who I wanted to be. I've learned a few things, like that I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was...or maybe I just found strength because I had no other choice.

On a lighter note, I also discovered that some of life's most satisfying moments can be found in ordinary things...and blogging is a way to share those moments, those ordinary things that make me smile.

Don't worry, I'm not usually this pensive and cliche, so the posts will mostly be about whatever inspires or annoys me from day to day. I'm not sure how long blogging will hold my attention before I become bored with it, or how faithful I'll be to updating it, but we'll see...
