It has been far too long since I have had a blog, a diary, or some kind of outlet for the thoughts tumbling around inside my head. I had one many years ago and for about 3 years straight I wrote in it almost daily. I thought it was pretty good. So young, naive, superficial. Some things haven't really changed. I'm still relatively young, only just turning 30. I'm still naive in certain situations. I have had a lot happen to me though, much of which has made me stronger, wiser, and sometimes questioning the current state of humanity. I've gotten married. I had 3 children rapid fire. I got sucked into the social media scene. Facebook is fun to keep in touch with family and the few remaining friends I actually want to talk to, and Twitter is fun for dropping humorous little sentences here and there, but so much of what I really want to say is a hell of a lot more than 140 characters. I'm not even sure how I am going to lay out this blog. Probably some bitching-some of which concerns my family and hopefully they will never see it because I will feel absolutely horrible. I don't want or mean for them to feel bad and I have been pretty good at keeping my mouth shut concerning my real feelings just to keep the peace, but I cannot anymore. I guess I probably shouldn't link this to my social media or give my family the web address. I might write about some proud parenting moments. Though I really want to use this as a tool to help me with my creative writing and so I may be posting some short stories on here that I've written. Some character profiles. Creative writing prompts. I haven't really decided yet. I just know that when things get crazy and my life gets turned upside down, I feel so much better writing. I just let it flow from my brain through my body and onto the page, whether it's in a notebook or typed on the computer. As the words flow from me I can feel the stress leaving my body and I can relax.
