This is a funky feel. Blogging, if you know what I mean; the exposure of your endearing thoughts to strangers. I have kept most of thoughts to myself, as if, afraid to propagate them to the public, as if, worried what they might say or do to me. I have only allowed my writings to permeate to my professors, for I thought, hey, maybe they will give me the grade I so righteously deserve. Not for a minute did I realize I would be writing as a hobby, an amusement, a diversion, to a getaway from reality.
The joy of applying, arranging, rearranging of words, taken from the mind, to be transformed into what we call writing, as we gentle caress the paper with our utensil of choice, is quite a syzygy. Perhaps, I am still trying to fathom why I do what I do. Many people ask that same question I bet, still ruminating about the various strands of their lives, depicting the if’s and but’s of their past, and too worried of the future to care about what is staring them right in face. I had that problem once; it was quite an ordeal I tell you, nothing you could ever imagine, unless, of course, you have found your purpose as I have, as a writer. Embracing, cherishing all present moments, then relaying them on your sheets of goodness, searching for your weapon of choice, and then expressing the moments lost, perchance to dream.
I manifest this blog not of choice but of purpose. To be frank, I am really doing this for myself, a selfish notion I know; with much to reap and little to sow. In the end, it should let me in on an understanding in the mind of a nineteen year old, almost twenty year old soon to be. What his expectations are for his critical future ahead. Will he falter or will he rise, to an everlasting prize, benefiting the good of all mankind, centered around the eyes of God himself.
That is the quesiton…
If you can’t show some of your writing to people, what’s the real point of writing (other than self-satisfaction)? You don’t want to be another Dickinson now, do you? lol And there’s nothing wrong with doing this for yourself, you deserve to be read. Thanks for using syzygy, I have no idea what it means, but I’m gonna go look it up. Keep on writing, man.
yes, I appreciate your endearing words; I shall and will keep on writing for the Lord!
