For Starters

So, I've decided to blog. I've written a few entries before, but now I find myself needing that legitimate touch. I'm not sure if my entries will reach anyone, and I'd only be flattered if they did, but I'm still going to be here...writing. I'm not such a good talker when it comes to expressing myself. I've found poetry, the piano, and music to be my three ways of release. I guess I can add blogging to that list now! So let's see, I'm one month away from the legal and long-awaited age of eighteen, and  I have no idea what I'm doing. All I know is that I'm putting all the pieces together right now. I'm in a good place, newly pulled out from the dark place. I've surpassed my ugly duckling days (though I have my moments), I've distanced myself from the cliques of early girlhood, and I've found a place, and people who relate to me like peanut butter relates to chocolate. We just go. Hopefully I'll have a camera in about  a month so I can prove that all the ordinary things that go on around me aren't actually all that ordinary. What else...I was inspired by a woman who my friend and I obsess over to start a blog. She put love into perspective for me through her posts. I'm addicted to them. For now, if you're out there reading, stick with me and once I feel aquainted with this whole blogging thing I'll post some of my poetry and daily experiences...maybe we can relate too?
