I want to write...a part of me really wants to write and to be a writer. Seems totally strange since ive never really done much writing apart from this blog, which really isnt much either. I have, however, always been one of those people who wrote in a journal. It wasnt the typical 'dear diary' sort of writing, but just a matter of putting my feelings and my thoughts down on paper. It was almost a release mechanism for me, to be able to leave all the things going on inside of me on a page, and leave it there so that it didnt clutter up my brain or unnecessarily complicate my emotions. And maybe thats why i always felt so much better afterwards, i could let go and sleep. 

And i want to be able to do more than that, i dont want to just write for my heart, but for my head as well. I am such an opinionated person, i have so many thoughts and ideas on such a wide array of things that i want to be able to share them with people. I need there to be more than just a simple recipient of my words, but a vessle that will take something from me and use it to give me more food for thought. 

So thats the new thing that i want to try next...and im starting small. I just volunteered to write the class notes for the alumni magazine and im starting an article for it as well. I just hope that I get a good enough of a reponse so that i have the confidence to try something bigger.  I know that im not the most eloquent person in the world but i hope that im good enough to be able to do something meaningful with it.
