Life is a journey, let's travel together

So, it has been a while since Ii have written on here, around 2 years. Writing is a long-lost love of mine, something I used to do often and then, for some reason or another, just stopped. As of late, my friend Brad has begun to write his own daily journal (blog is such an ugly word) and it has inspired me to write again. Writing has always been a creative outlet for me, it’s a way for me to get my thoughts out of the jumbled mess in my head and into some sort of order. One may be driven insane with all of the thoughts floating around in the space within the cranium. I believe the paper, or in this case. the textbox is a canvas for a person. It is blank and our words are colors and illustrations that we can either throw on to the canvas with raw emotion or meticulously place in order to attempt to explain the complex words within our heart and mind…and I believe, even soul. There is a hidden, unsaid therapy that lays dormant within these letters that string together into words, which link together to make sentences and then collide into paragraphs. Odd characters that go from being single digits to complex thoughts that express our thoughts, out hearts. Everything from mindless ramblings, which help us release the pressure from our brains to love stories that express our deep emotions within our hearts. they are words that can help connect people into our souls, help people connect to the thoughts deep within that are sometimes too complex to explain in an instant. writing, has no timeline, no deadline. we do not have to put our words together in a short time frame before the moment is gone, rather we have the time we need to lay things out in an organized fashion that makes sense. we can spend minutes, hours, days, even years assembling thoughts together and in the end, we have a product that can be the most beautiful thing. The best part is, it doesn’t have to be beautiful to anyone but ourselves. there is a certain satisfaction in sitting back and seeing something you have created. This is one such writing, a blog if you will, that I can now reflect upon at the moment and see what i wrote. All of the mess that was in my head now makes sense a little bit more. Maybe someone else will read it and be inspired to find their creative outlet, maybe no one will ever read this and that’s ok. Just the other day I sat down and read through my journal (it’s not a diary) that i keep my more, personal, deep thoughts in. I reflected upon my writings that went back to 2006. It was eye-opening to me to see the evolution of my thoughts and personality. I feel better already, more refreshed. So, look forward to more of this, it is why I titled it, “Reboot”. I am getting back to my creative outlet. so it begins…welcome back!
