Who I am

Hello, first of all welcome to my blog, I am glad you have found your way here.
The reason I have started this blog is because I have always been fond of writing, I think it is a form of expression that is often underestimated in today's society.

We can argue that vocal communication is the best means, that one must be socially outgoing and unafraid to share feelings face to face, indeed this method has benefits that writing does not, I will not argue or ignore that fact, however, I also believe writing is an equally effective means because of what it can convey that the mouth and words cannot. voice and words are more subject to becoming byproduct of thought not carefully examined. Despite one's best of efforts sometimes words in the moment can come out wrong and be misunderstood by those of whom we wish to speak to.

What's my point you may be asking?


My point is this, I am what society may call a "socially challenged" individual. Quite frankly, I hate the title, I hate the label, I am sick and tired of feeling I have to defend myself against a society that demands from me what I simply cannot give. A society that expects me to change the way the good lord made me, I am sick and tired of having to explain my reasoning and my logistics to people simply because they can't understand them.... This is why I am a writer, because what I cannot explain in the vocal sense, I explain and express here in the words I type, without pressure, without the fear of being judged for what I say, or what I believe, because by visiting this blog, the reader has done so by their own free will, and has not been pressured to do so by any means. So there is one thing said about the kind of person I am, no I don't always speak a lot via the vocal cords, my thoughts have always been my guide, through some of the most difficult times of my life, a lot of times there was nothing I could say to make sense of those times, it was what I had to sit down and really think about, really let flow through my head that in the end brought me back to reality and allowed me to continue making my way through, so to those who say that we must seek others, and talk out what ails us,  and that keeping things to ourselves is ineffective, I am sorry but I disagree. It is how we ourselves process things, how we ourselves think things over that determine how we fair in dealing with them and by writing I feel that we are able to get our thoughts out there in a more defined and direct way then the vocal cords ever, ever will. There is so much more I can say on this topic but time is always limited so I leave more for another day, for now this is my take on writing and why I practice it... I will add more to this blog  at pretty much random intervals, I have created this blog in response to a desire to write feelings like the ones I shared with you now down when they happen.. I will not write every day I'll tell you that right now! but whenever I feel the need, this is where it will be... Take care everyone, thanks for listening..
