I blogged before blogging was a "thing."
I also think it's strange that - due to the nature of the Internet - each of those blogs will float like time capsules out in to the vastness and be discovered again in the future. Nothing ever goes away. Someone will find "Sadie's Struggle" and read about married 16 year old me and wonder whatever happened.
I got bored and needed to talk again - that's what happened.
I have had many therapists in my life. One of them pointed out that - though I have been a lifelong journal writer (starting at age 8 - since I was raised in the LDS church, it's actually a thing that gets taught: creating a personal chronicle), I stop because avoidance is the way a person with anxiety-related issues will get around facing things that need facing.
So here I am again.
Whatever you want to call it -- exhibitionism, etc -- I also crave the perception of human contact created by writing these things and making them available to be read. I like feedback. Though there are those who will sit by waiting to pounce on whatever seemingly heartfelt writings (and writers) float by, for the most part feedback has always been positive.
I have made some very interesting discoveries about myself recently and I realized I needed a new venue to explore them.
... but it's also extremely late so I think this will do for Transmission #1.
