Cautiously Stepping Back in to the Blogosphere

It has been almost exactly two years since I have written anything on this blog. I have meant to come back to it so many times but something always stops me. I have kept a personal journal since I was seven years old and I do try to stay consistent with writing in it. It's my therapy, my place to just let my thoughts flow freely and not worry about writing it for anyone else to read.

I worry about putting myself out there in a blog format. I worry that what I write will be misunderstood. I worry that my weird sense of humor won't translate very well.

There is a fine line between venting in a therapeutic way and unproductive bitching. It's a line I find myself crossing sometimes and in real life I have people I can do that with and I know they won't judge me. Putting myself out there online feels very vulnerable.

The biggest reason I'd like to commit to blogging more regularly is because I'd like to use it as a chance to connect with people, other women and mothers especially.  I think that when people share their honest stories it helps them heal and helps others not feel so alone.

So, I'm going to set my neuroses aside and just jump in! It doesn't matter if my writing isn't perfect and doesn't perfectly express what I'm trying to say. I can work on that. I have to start somewhere and I'm excited about what I can create.
