Allow me to reintroduce myself...

So I love writing and reading and generally digesting the written and spoken word. I think a lot and I read often but, somehow that never translated into a successful blogging career. I practically write essays on other people blogs, but yet mine sits alone untouched. Why? Well I have a few theories.

Firstly, people of color and women often second guess themselves. Yes all people second guess themselves, but oppressed people have encountered a world in which we are always undermined. Our knowledge and our history is deemed unessential and our voice is too often lost. Second, I have experienced depression for most of my life. If you have every experienced any type of depression you know how difficult it is to create, even though creativity is some of the best medicine. Creativity, music, writing is like a life raft for your soul and when you find your self drowning in a sea of doubt and depression, like you are lost and gasping for air, it is one thing I most often forget.

But recently, I have missed writing. I have missed the thrill of sitting down with a blank page and literally providing voice where there was once nothing. I know that today the Internet is over saturated with people voices and thoughts, but I cannot let others deter me from creating. So if no one ever reads this blog, it will be my own person journal, and I will continue to introduce and redefine myself in this space!
