Express Yourself!

Hello! My first blog post.

What am I feeling? A sense of foreboding and a bit of creative paralysis. I have wanted to write for so long but struggled with how I would "say" what I desired to express. Would I write a work of nonfiction with a twist? Would I compose a memoir and suffer a read as too solipsistic or depressing beyond words? Would my moments of self-doubt and heartache resonate with an audience or register as if the unveiling of pages from a stolen journal? Who knows? And really who cares? I have reached a moment of self-realization that the journey is worthy of sharing unto itself, warts and all. It is what makes us human. Thus, what this blog will pursue is a publication of musings on my life as being lived---designed, if you will. It will disclose my thoughts on events, in the present and at times in the past. It will be mostly self-referential but in way that is relatable to all. I will strive to convey in a manner that is somewhat extemporaneous yet not scattered. Thoughtful. My wish is that a dialogue might follow in which readers can comment on my reflections and add to the conversation. So without further ado, let's allow life's design to unfurl. Express yourself, indeed!
