Awakening

Last week I was strongly urged by a trusted mentor my therapist to begin an anonymous blog to "help me process." I declined at first with a litany of excuses such as being too sensitive to criticism, feeling indebted to anyone who expressed appreciation for the words that I shared (and in turn feeling anxious with every day that passed without my posting an update), and being unsure how to begin such a thing without the online presence of friends and family to support and encourage me.

It seems the easiest way to begin a thing is without giving myself enough time to grow suspicious of my own intentions. This post begins the awakening of my online presence, naked and bare. Perhaps it will serve as a personal journal alone...?
