On A Sidewalk to Nowhere

A Head Full of Doubt and a Road Full of Promise

Sad/Serious

I try to avoid talking about sad things here.
I get really frustrated when people use their entire blogs talking about how terrible their lives are.
I tend to be of the mindset that if all you do is talk about how terrible your life is, it probably won’t improve.

My life is not terrible.
My life is amazing.

However, I’m trying to be more intentional, direct, and open about sharing my feelings.
I am not someone to whom those things come easily.
I am guarded.
But I believe that I do not have to be.
And I believe that if I can do the work to be vulnerable and open, to actually feel my feelings, I will be better for it.

So I just want to put it out there.
I have a few things in my drafts/queue that are sad or serious or both.
I have a few more things that are still only in my head.
I’m going to start publishing these thoughts occasionally.
I think that, in order to improve, I need to be authentic about all the parts of myself, and all the things going on within me.

I promise to not always be sad, and I promise to be more honest if I am.
My life is awesome.
It is messy.
It is overwhelming.
It is beautiful.
And I appreciate all of you reading this, friends both from real life and solely from the internet, for bearing with me as I learn to embrace all the ups and downs of life.

Multimedia Feelings

I wish that instead of actually having to talk to people about my feelings, I could just email them a multimedia presentation. I’d write some things, maybe embed some music (like this song, or this one), include some art I had made to commemorate the situation, and just generally make it a more expressive and fun experience, without going to the trouble and frustration of actually having to talk to people.
