Tonight, as I try to compose myself to write, I am quite conflicted. There are so many things I want to write about. So many things I want to say. But, I can't just do it all at once. I can't just explode my brain onto the blog.
I have to focus. If I want to garner readers, I know I should probably specify the topic of this blog. I could write about being a teacher. I could write about being a mom. I could even write about being a second wife and a step mom. The truth is, I don't want to specialize. I want to write about what I want to write about.
So, that means that sometimes I will write about teaching. And sometimes I will write about mothering. Sometimes I might even write about wifing. Yeah, I think I made up that word. It's the verb for being a wife. But, other times, I might write about the voices inside my head or the women I wish I could be. If you aren't following along, what I am saying is that I think this blog might just be a bit of everything! And, to tell you the truth...that excites me.
I am tired of writing what I think people want to read. I'm tired of editing myself because I am afraid of offending people that I'm not sure even really care about me to begin with.
When it's all said and done, I have to just be me.
So, having said that...here we go! This is my attempt to just blog and write about all the things I am thinking and feeling. Hopefully, at some point in time, you'll recognize a glimmer of yourself in me and my words and decide to check in pretty regularly. That would be totally epic. And, if not...well, that's okay too. I plan to write and keep being me either way!
Moving along,
M
