When I told one friend that I started this blog, she asked about the purpose of such public musings. Apparently, one blog she had visited was simply describing mundane events of the author's days, something she was not very excited to read about. But I've become quite engrossed by certain friends' blogs, checking in frequently to discover the latest topic up for discussion and to read all of the questions and comments that ensued. My hope is that my own blog will become more like the latter.
So I've been thinking about the purpose for my embarking on this blogging journey, and here's what I've come up with:
- Blogging is a useful tool for learning more about and keeping in touch with friends.
- Writing helps me process my own thoughts and feelings and learn more about myself.
- We all have a deep-seated longing to be known and understood; I am no exception.
- I hope to receive feedback about the issues I address, whether personal or more global. So please, leave your comments!

I began writing to have an outlet for all of the STUFF in my head... it has been neither serious or deep, but I've enjoyed it. Now, I mainly write to catch up my friends. :)
Awesome. And make new friends even! I mean, I know we've known each other for awhile, but I feel like I've gotten to know you so much better just since reading a few of your posts! We should totally hang out sometime!
