The Curtain Rises: Starting Frisch

Typically I'd write how I don't know what to begin with, along with statements of insecurity and warnings for the level of my grammar and validity of my thoughts. However, this blog is for me and anyone else who dares take a plunge into my thoughts. I've spent too long caring what other people think, keeping my thoughts behind rigid bars and degrading myself for everything and anything. I'm a person who enjoys talking or writing about what's on my mind, because, quite frankly, my brain is too chaotic for me to pin down certain thoughts and emotions. Think of it as a bunch of papers, either blank or with writing or pictures, flying around a cramped room. As soon as you can pin one down, you have to quickly understand what's on the paper or write it down before it flies away. And who knows, sometimes there's nothing even on the page.

I don't really know why I'm starting this blog... Well, scratch that. I'm sure I know why I'm writing this blog and there are reasons why I want to share it with people. I just simply don't feel like thinking about that right now, because I'm enjoying my Schoko-Crossiant and trying to do a thing.

I'm currently in my last few days of a trip to Germany. Part of that time was spent with the RC Deutsches Theatre Group. As we traveled throughout Deutschland, we blogged about our experiences. I wound up finding it extremely cathartic and I've learned so much about myself through traveling with Janet, Molly, Amy and Josiah. To answer my earlier question, I think I'm starting my own blog because I don't want the flow of thoughts, growth and what I've experienced in myself to stop. I want to remain open. I want to challenge myself to live and think deeper. I want to continue to know myself, who I am and what I want. I must continue to stop and "smell the roses."

This little website, that will act as my personal thought-dump, will consist of opinions, emotions, feelings, thoughts, likes, dislikes, random tips, etc. Just think of it as a little piece of me. If you don't know who I am, etc. then here you can find a little glimpse. Maybe over time there will be even more than just a little picture of myself here.

If you want to take a look at my experiences in Germany, follow this link to the blog that I contributed to during an amazing few weeks (there are even cute pictures): http://umrc15.blogspot.de/

Until...
