Beginnings.

Beginnings. Some of the most powerful words in the world are "In the beginning..." And here I sit, in the beginning of a new chapter in my life: one where I have outlet. An outlet of my thoughts and my emotions. An outlet of my experiences and my questions.

An outlet of words.

I am captivated by words. Words tell story. They tell thoughts and emotions. They tell of experiences. They tell hopes, dreams, and fears in life. Some are simple: "two can go..." and some are dreadfully heavy: "I'm sorry..."

My entire life I've had a fascination of words. I read books and get lost in the language of time, place, and characters. I love to read editorials and hear how people voice their opinions and present their thoughts to the world. I love speeches and sometimes get so wrapped up in the emotion and power of words that my eye begins to glisten. Yes sometimes words themselves bring tears to my eyes: "I do..."

So I've decided to take my love for words and actually use them. I will admit that I've always been a fan of blogs, but I've never had the "courage and fortitude" to actually make one. Sadly, I would always disguise that shortfall by a "lack of time." But now is a new beginning.

I will write. I will attempt to have an outlet of my thoughts, feelings, ideas, creativity, or anything else that a keypunch can produce.
