Stop and Smell The roses

This is my first ever blog post. Considering that, please go easy on me. To be completely honest I have spent weeks being undecisive, going back and forth. I have been unsure about if I wanted to do this whole blog thing or not. I paid for the all of the tools required to do it, made my webpage, put together an about section, but then I just found myself lacking desire to continue forward. I noticed that this lack of desire was deriving from an abundance of uncertainty and a lack of confidence. I wasn’t confident in my ability to write in a cohesive and elegant way. Writing has never really been my strength, my strength sits more so in my ability to be analytical and a deep thinker. I was, and still am, not sure how well my thoughts will transfer to paper. I wasn’t sure if this would serve as any real purpose to anyone besides myself. I certainly wasn’t sure if I would achieve my original main goal. That original main goal was to help, inspire, or strengthen others through my thoughts, lessons, experiences, or observations in life.

When I say that I want to “help, inspire, or strengthen others” I can’t help but feel a bit silly. One piece of me finds it goofy or even a bit pompous to believe that anyone may benefit from hearing the thoughts and experiences of someone like myself. I am nobody. Just a regular 25 year old guy trying to make it through life. The other excessively optimistic side of me holds this insane belief that maybe someone, maybe just one person somewhere, might find this helpful. That is why I have decided to push through my uncertainty about doing this blog.
