Like a Virgin!

My first blog. Aren't you proud? Am I blushing?

Well, to be perfectly honest, I’m not really a virgin. Does that change our relationship now? I've written quite a few things over the last several months, but I was invited here to share it with you. So here goes....

I enjoy writing for a laundry list of reasons, mainly because it makes me feel good. It relieves stress and I can make light of hectic situations. I also write in order to remember heartwarming stories of my own, or to just simply complain, bitch, moan, and groan. Once I’ve written it down, I usually feel a lot better.

It’s like wanting to write a nasty letter to your boss. You spend hours making sure you say everything perfectly. You cuss him out on paper, making sure to cram in every detail of your anger. You use spell-check, and even the thesaurus to make your correspondence seem more educated and refined.

You proofread it several times and even share it with your spouse or a friend to get their opinion. For most of you, you’ll find that your spouse or friend will tell you it’s a little harsh, but you forge on. In fact, you add edgier cuss words and reformat the letter with bullets and numbering.

However, a little while later, you realize your anger has dissipated. You no longer feel the hatred and absolute loathing you felt a couple hours ago. You then decide that it’s best to perhaps sit on this letter for a while. Think about it more and not be too irrational.

The next day, you completely forget about the letter. Weeks later, you come across this repulsive letter and think to yourself “am I really that hateful?” No, you’re not. You’re just reading on paper your own personal counseling sessions, free counseling I might add. Your stress management course is right there in black and white. (Unless you formatted the cuss words is bold red font.)

Writing is a healing process for me, even if no healing is required.

Veracity, for those of you that don't know, simply put means "devotion to truth" or "power of conveying the truth". This is a place for my experiences, my trueness, my triumphs, and my sincerity.

I hope you enjoy my writings. I do it out of fun, and hope to put a smile on your face while you read. Heck, you might even learn a thing or two.

Enjoy.
