Why Blog?

     This is something I have toyed with for a long time now. Therapy and drugs have fallen short and I am at the end of the line with myself. I need a purge. I need to be honest with everyone, starting with me. For the entirely of my life I have spent every ounce of energy to be ‘plastic’. By that I mean I want the outside world to see me and say wow she has her shit together I want to be her. In reality I have a lot of shit and it is hardly held together.
 
     First and foremost this will be where I get honest. I am going to go back through my life and share some stories that stand out to me as moments I pieced together my plastic shell. By reveling the ugly truth I hope to find the real me and make peace with her.
           
     Secondly I love to write. Journalism would have been one of my top two career picks ‘when I grow up’, teaching being the other only plan. However I am grown up and neither teacher nor journalist, we’ll get into that more later. This will be serious to read at times but also funny, full of beauty tips, my commentary on sports and current events. Promise not all deep cry your eyes out crap.
           
So read and follow or don’t. For the first time in my life this is something for me not ya’ll.
