Too Personal For Facebook

I used to keep a family blog. I was actually addicted to it.  Facebook put an end to that. With Facebook being more popular and easier to update, my blogging days were buried.

There is one problem with Facebook though. I, for one, am constantly thinking and find myself wanting to share some of those thoughts but deem them too personal for Facebook. So, here I am, turning to a more private platform and resurrecting my blog with a new title.

In addition to aforementioned reason, I'm starting this blog to resuscitate my writing skills. I haven't written anything of substance since my college years, and I'm afraid you, the poor readers, will see the effects of it. No judging.

This blog won't be about what we are up to (you see plenty of that on Facebook) but about my musings and epiphanies, and my struggles and triumphs. I will be real and honest. Many people seem to be putting on facades these days, too scared to show their weaknesses. We all have them, yet putting on a perfect image has become the norm in our society. Personally, I feel trusted, even honored, when someone shares their weakness with me. They trust that I won't judge them and will accept them for who they are.  I also find relief, knowing I'm not the only person with a particular struggle and we end up forming a bond, a connection.

With that said, I hope you will find something here that resonates with you and find comfort. If not, I would still like you to stick around. You can simply offer encouragement and advice, or you can just be one of those silent stalkers. Thanks for reading.
