Bye Bye Virginity!...

With these first few words I have officially lost my blogging virginity-- the cherry has been popped.

Let me stop, lol. I've been flirting with the idea of starting my own blog for about 2 or 3 years. My bestfriend was keepng up a blog of her own via a different site back then and currently uploads a video blog on youtube. She always told me how great it felt to release her thoughts and opinions into the universe. From that moment on I was intrigued.

I've been a writer all my life. Ever since I learned how to write a sentence that at least made sense to me, I've kept a journal. I've always found something so intoxicating and significant about documenting one's life. It doesn't matter how minute the details are that you choose to include, but being able to have something tangible from different periods of your life for yourself or your lineage to pick up and look back on is so powerful. Call me sentimental if you want ( you'd be correct if you did being that I have a memory box in my closet that houses mementos from various important event, periods, and people in my life, lol) but I firmly believe in the saying that "an unexamined life is a life not worth living," (Socrates).

So I have to admit, I'm excited about doing this. It's a step up from keeping my thoughts and opinions to myself, locked away in a book nobody knows about. So stay tuned for the next installment. I'll tell you little more about myself.

Until next time.
