Creative Outlets

I love my little blog.  I would have never thought to start one until I read my college roommate's blog page.  Then it got me to thinking.  I have never been really good at writing papers for school, nor am I good at being grammatically correct especially when it comes to 'ending your sentence with a preposition'.  I'm pretty good at doing that and I don't care.  I have kept a paper journal for years but once I started this little project, the paper stuff went on the back burner.  I do miss writing on paper but I get too much in a hurry so it seems more efficient and easier to do it on the wild world of the internet.  However, I do still paste important momentos in my journal  in hopes that it will inspire another or someone will find it important and learn about my goofy life.  

Although my original purpose for having this blog was to write more creatively it has certainly turned out to be a new type of journal, which is fine by me.  It has provided me a peace of mind when I needed to gripe and moan,  celebrate an occasion or just to have something to do when I am alone and bored.  There have been some creative moments, and others are just a plain 'poor pitiful me' infused mess.  But, that is the purpose of a blog-slash-journal, right?  

I don't have many active readers.  If I do then I don't really know about it.  I do have a good friend who I met through doing this blog who reads me frequently and on occasion I get other readers who leave their comments.  I did get a response from a local entertainment paper in my first year of nursing school who wanted me to participate in a blog forum of some sort.  Wow.  That blew my mind.  Unfortunately, I just did not have the time required plus I don't think anything really became of that project as a whole so I guess I'm better off.   I love having my little blog, despite who reads or does not read my little endeavor.  It's mine and mine alone and I can do whatever I want with it.  

I do go back and re-read older posts from time to time.  It sure does bring back a lot of memories for that given moment.  And I have certainly come a long way in my life since I started it many moons ago.  I'm anxious to see how I progress in the next few years sharing my trials and tribulations as I walk through this thing called life.  I'm still learning about myself to which I think my blog is appropriately titled.  I couldn't think of anything better.  Until next time.....elizinashe
