Hello Again, Old Blog

I've learned some things about myself over the past few months.  One that's pertinent to this blog is that I don't like to write about things until I have a sense of completion.  I admire my friends who can put it all out there, but I tend to have it wrapped up before I share it.  I've always felt that I should maintain some degree of self-composure.... I really don't like other people seeing the mess in my life until I can show them that it all works out in the end.  The funny thing is that I LOVE seeing this sort of vulnerability in others, but don't really care for it in myself. 

Another thing I've learned about blogging is that I like it to be more of a conversation.  I think that's why I tend to enjoy facebook more than blogging in general.  There are more "likes" and comments and people tend to interact with what I write.  And more than that, I actually KNOW who is reading it!  It drives me a certain type of crazy to not know who-- if anyone-- will actually read this.  Sure, I can see general locations on the geography ticker and blogger tells me other stats, but in order for this to be more of a conversation, please feel free to leave comments or engage with me on what I've posted.  I appreciate it a lot!
