Part of
growing up – and part of being a responsible friend, partner, etc. – is taking
care of yourself. For years, my mantra on that front had been an unconvincing, “I’m
fine,” said while sweeping my problems under the proverbial emotional rug.
It’s time for that to change.
This space is going to be used for
me. It will be a very real space – sometimes sad, other times happy, and still
other times angry. It won’t be a place for efforts at proper journalistic
writing. There will be strong opinions and curse words. The structure will be
more free-flowing than feature writing. That’s what life is – emotional,
passionate, and sometimes unstructured – and that’s what my life has
been. I’ve been through a lot, and this space will allow me to use my writing,
a strength of mine, to sort out a lot of the stuff that’s been floating around
in my head. I’m doing this to be a more emotionally healthy person. I have high
hopes for this space.
I certainly welcome others to read what
I have to say. I won’t pimp this blog like I do, ad nauseum, for my
sports-and-music-and-whatever-else-I-feel-like-writing-about blog (have you
checked out alwaysbrewing.blogspot.com?) but this blog will be linked on my main page
so it can be found by people other than me. Feel free to comment here,
message me on Facebook, contact me on Twitter, whatever you like.
Here goes nothing!
