"Put that in your book."

Despite popular belief, I am a writer, that is to say, I have the ability to do so.

This should be interesting.

Blogging is not new to me. Like I have stated in a previous Facebook note, I used to blog all the time. I used to document the daily happenings of high school life, and even some of my home-life sparcely thrown in. Humility was expressed in the majority of my blogs... Candid humility. And that's exactly what I plan this blog to be--a lot of frankness.

For some reason, I feel a lot of hesistancy upon beginning this new adventure. I remember being a lot more open in my old blogs than what I plan to be in this one.. or rather, what I planned to be. I didn't care who saw them. Actually, I encouraged such intrusiveness. I wanted people to read them, comment on them, tell their friends about them. Now... it's almost as if I want to talk about so many things, but feel that I shouldn't do so. What if I say something that I shouldn't say? What if people find out something they don't like? something that they don't agree with? something about my past I want left undiscovered? I guess I feel almost embarrassed for having ever started this, for the simple fact that you, my dear reader, expect openness and, above all, honesty.

I feel torn.

People are cheated every day. "Innocent" individuals become cynical because years of lies and half-truths leave them with no other option. I don't want this blog to do that. I want this blog to be, if nothing else, a way to relate to a world that I can't see. I want to have a voice; be a voice; be heard.  

So, if a question is asked, I will answer it. And you, my dear reader, can rest assure that my answer will be honest, met with vigor and unbiased sincerity.

Again, this should be interesting... We'll see how this plays out...
