frank thoughts • part one

there's been many times in my life, times that I look back on quite fondly, where I wrote with such purpose. these writings sit in journals, expressed through pen and ink, and have dried years ago on the paper pages folded closed and tied up for future reminiscing or retrieval. I've had poetic stints where I wrote about life with such a love for the experience, a curious perspective, a thoughtful narrative on my experiences.

I'd like to start writing again and I thought - hey, why not put it out there this time?

some of these blog posts may be from the past, putting that handwritten floods of feelings and thoughts into digital form... some may be about just yesterday or about whatever is happening right in this moment.

I'm entering a season in life - rather I've already entered it - and I feel that journaling here and writing it out like this will... well... it will do something. hopefully something great for me.

in the past year I have made a lot of decisions for myself and my life that have led me to this point. recently, I've clearly stepped forward along a path of yes. I consider every opportunity that comes across my path and when it is right I say yes - especially if it is a gut yes. this is a gut yes. my instincts are telling me to follow along this route fueled by creativity, thoughtfulness, writing, drawing, and a connection between the inner world and the outer world.

here's to many more entries - in journals or here. written, painted, drawn, photographed, or recorded. may they flood from my unconscious mind, through my thoughtful synapses, out through my finger tips either onto paper or onto this virtual reality here. may they come plentiful and reflective and emotional and honest. cheers to that. bring it on.
