All the Cool Kids are Doing it!

So...

In high school and throughout college I always kept a personal journal and a myspace blog which allowed me an outlet to express my thoughts and feelings. My last year of college I kept an "artist's journal" which, while I am extremely proud of it, kind of took over as my emotional medium. Aesthetically, it's a lucid dream inspired by music set to words. Everything before this journal was just words and now I find myself needing a fix in imagery every time something overwhelming happens. But why wait until then to express myself?

There's no reason, thus the reason for this blog coming into being. I still keep my artist's journal and my personal journal, but I like having several different outlets. I don't know what I am looking for in doing this, I guess maybe I'm not looking for anything, but I'm sure I'll learn some new stuff about me I didn't already know. Some people find that frightening but I rather like being enlightened by myself. If you can't surprise yourself, who can? ;)

I think that's about it for this, my first post. If you're reading this and trying to decide whether this is a blog you would like to "follow," just know that this isn't being used to try to answer some of life's crazy questions. This isn't a blog that will always be positive or light-hearted. I aim to be extremely honest in everything that I do and this will be no exception. Most people will not find this an acceptable thrill ride.

Thanks!
