Life is Like...

     Life is like a book.  It has many chapters.  Each of our stories are unique and while they make have certain similarities with the stories of others, no two stories are the same.  No matter the differences, each life has three basic parts: birth, life, and death.
     We are all born.  Some of us grow up and know our birth stories.  We know how our parents met.  We know where we were born, etc., etc.  Certain parts of our birth story we would rather not get all the details for.  While we are thankful that our parents had sex, another part of us would like to never think that our parents ever did....yuck.  Who ever really wants to think about that?
     We live our lives.  Most of us go to school, but our experiences are greatly varied.  If you are popular and have a lot of friends, you will have a different experience than someone who is picked on and has few friends.  You may be very smart and not struggle academically or everything might seem tough. 
     Each part of our lives is written by different people.  Our beginnings are written by our parents.  The lives we live are written by the choices we make.  Some people get married.  Some people go to college and just focus on careers and sacrifice having a home life.  Some people travel the world and see what is out there before deciding what or who they are to become.  Our deaths are written about by those who remember us: our family, our friends, and some who are mere acquaintances.
     Each of us has a unique story......and I just realized that I am rambling and repeating myself.  Somehow some of this sounded much more brilliant in the car on my way home from work at 7 am.  Hopefully I captured even a small amount of what I thought was brilliant so that I can write something better when I am a little more awake.

1st Posting

Well, here I am, yet again.  I have been blogging on this site for quite some time, though I haven't been too consistent about it.  My content hasn't been filled with wow stuff.  It has read more like journals of me venting about things going on in my life, which isn't all bad.  It can be a bit therapeutic, but not something others would really want to read about.  I have my doubts whether or not anyone will read anything on my blog anyway.  Guess I will just wait and see.

I started this new addition to my blog so that I could start fresh and hopefully do more creative writing than journaling.  That is the plan anyway.  I will hopefully maintain my journaling to the older part of my blog, depending on my mood.  This blog may contain some journaling, but my vision for it is more to get myself back in the mindset of writing. I want to put my writing ideas more out there and expand on them and, if anyone reads this at some point, hopefully I will get feedback as well to keep the creative juices flowing.

Well, may this be a start of something refreshing, new, and exciting.
