Why the hell am I doing this?

This is me overcoming my fear of vulnerability. And man it's tough.

Years back, when I was a young nomadic college student, happily couch surfing and trying to find my purpose in life, I started a blog called This Odd Life. There I shared some intimate writings I had done after dropping out of college, struggling with depression, and caring for my Grandma before she passed from Alzheimers.

Truth be told, I don't know why I'm starting this blog. All of my life I've planned out every step. Everything had a place and a purpose, even if it didn't seem like it from the outside looking in. So much so, that I often chose the path that was safest and neglected what I truly wanted.

So here I am. 30. Filled with bread, existential dread, and a fear of being found guilty of having a crippling mental illness. Welcome to my innermost thoughts! It's wild in here.
