The first one

Who am I?  Just some nameless, faceless, anonymous chick who dumps her thoughts onto a blog for whoever happens upon it on the vast internet...

I used to write a blog.  A really good one, actually.  I actually still like to go back and reread what my younger self used to say.  Sometimes it was pretty good!

Now...well, now I don't have much time to think about a blog.  But as I live through the battles of life in a pandemic, with the important thing(s) in life on hold, I keep trying to find outlets for my VERY BIG feelings.  I have tried creativity, and that works.  I've gone to the gym more than ever in my life (and still only like once or twice a week!), and that helps.  I talk to people important to me, that works.  I have seen a therapist occasionally, which has also been helpful.

But there's just something about writing... it has always been an outlet of sorts for me.  I have dozens of volumes of journals from the past couple decades.  This week, my brother and I were trading haikus on WhatsApp, which definitely helped diffuse a few tense moments!  Cuz really, how can you take a haiku seriously?!  It's like they are made to be satirical or just plain funny.  At least, that's how it works out when I write one.

Anyway, feel free to follow my sporadic, random, off-the-rails thought train through this blog!  I can't guarantee frequency, or even quality, but there may at least be entertainment value in all this!  Also, feel free to comment....criticize, complain, laugh, compliment, whatever tickles your fancy!
