I've had my share of blogs/online journals in the past. First it was scribble.nu in late middle school, which most certainly doesn't exist anymore (my journal disappeared along with the entire scribble.nu site once it went down), then blogspot for a short stunt during early high school, then the livejournal era (mostly my junior year of high school, though I still update with some private posts occasionally), followed by xanga, my blogging home since around senior of high school and into my college years. My online journaling life has dwindled quite drastically during the past two years or so, probably the combination of being writing-ed out thanks to my college classes and having close friends around to talk to consistently.
Now that many of these close friends are in very different parts of the city or state (interesting, all my close friends still live in California at this point) and in anticipating how much harder it will be to keep in touch with people once we're all working and whatnot, having somewhere to post periodic updates on my life seems to make sense.
Besides that, starting a new blog at this point in my life seems right, somehow. As I'm transitioning into post-college life, I'm also transitioning into what it means to be an adult, and I know that will imply a lot of sorting through my past experiences, current feelings, values, opinions, and so on. It's an exciting time, I would say, and I think it will do me a lot of good to be self-reflective and to get a sense of how God is working in my life and in my thoughts through trying to express what's going on for me in words. I know that's going to be a challenge at times, but I'm up for it. Here's to learning to live in love and truth and to learning how to trust in God more fully with every step...and to relearn how to express myself in writing.
