I have been talking for a couple of months now about starting a blog and every time I've tried to make my first post I have just suddenly felt like it was so serious! Like this is the first post of the rest of my life and I have to make it a good one! I started thinking about how I really need to write about something important because this is number one and it will "pave the way" like it is some monumental moment!
I do this, also, with my journals. I will sit with the pen in my hand for about twenty minutes just thinking about what is good enough to be on page one. I don't know why I ever thought this made sense, but I have even tried just skipping the first couple pages. And can I just tell you that it's still the first page no matter where you start! So I feel like every time I'm starting something new it is so serious! But once I get past the fear of the first page everything is fine and dandy so, why can't I just start writing like it's page two?
I'm still, and always will be, convinced that the first post or page is so serious, but some how I manage to turn it into something so silly! (And stressful and obsessive and ridiculous!!!) In the end I'm just really happy that it's done and over with and I can move on with my life. Lol. I think I take this way too seriously, but you know, it's SO important!! The End.

Ben told me we are alike in many ways and this proves it. I totally relate.
Once you get going it won't be so hard. I look forward to reading what is to come.
:)
That is so funny! I feel the same way when I start something new like that! :) I am so glad you joined this blogging world, and I am glad you made it past the first post! Now, on to the silliness! :)
Well now I sound like everyone else, but I'm the same way.. I feel like it has to be very serious and thought out. :)
I'm glad you started a blog!
I have to agree too...but I am glad you decided to start one. So now that you've started it, please keep up for the sake of your readers! Just kidding. :)
I didn't tell anyone about my blog until I had written in it several times... that way nobody could judge my "first" blog! =)
nice! I am looking forward to reading about your adventures... how cool!
