I’ve lived my life in the gray area – not really committing to one idea or another too strongly (unless it was about politics, women’s rights, or other hot button topics). It kept me safe from being hurt, rejected, and trampled, but it also kept me from fully living. I have no true passions, nothing I’m very excited about; a few things that I like, but don’t commit to fully with all of my energy. I know a little about a lot, but am no expert in one area or another. I pick up information, but I don’t actually do anything with it. I’m like an old-fashioned card catalog; all of the titles are there, including the authors, topics, and publishing dates, but nothing of substance exists on those cards.
But that is about to change. I’m tired of living without passion, of not following my dream(s) because I am scared of falling down the rabbit hole and getting lost in the darkness. My childhood trained me well for the gray, but it is time to step into the light and lay down the shackles of the past.
This blog will be a part of my foray into living my passion. I’m terrified of putting myself, and my writing, out there, but it’s time. It’s time to let a little light shine down and see what there is to see.
So here goes – the first step into the void, out of the fog that covers me, conceals me, and has protected me all of these years.
