Blank

I read Lexy's blog and it has inspired me to write again.  Shout out to Lexy: girl, you are way talented, I mean I knew you were good but that was fascinating.  Most of the time I think we must be soul mates.

I want to talk on "paper" to write out things that I think and feel, to put out there the mess that seems to be floating around in my head.  But I think about something I want to say, then I go to write about it and either I wind up with a blank or I way overthink and I'm not sure how to put it into words or even if it makes sense to anyone but me.

How can you express in words, truly, what goes on in the deepest recesses of your mind, the place where you know yourself, you believe in and understand yourself but you're not sure how to convey that to others.  Is it right?  Is it necessary?  Is it even needed?  But then you know no matter whether it is or not, it's something that you have to get off your chest, boring or not, necessary or trivial, you must express, you must put into words (or at least try to put into words) those things that you contemplate and mull over.

Maybe it's in the hopes that someone feels as you do, that someone out there knows what you're going through and has felt the same way.  It's a refreshing thought but then when writing it out you began to think, they may take it the wrong way.  Are you expressing it in the right context?  Using the proper words to help them understand what's truly there?

No man is an island.  We were not meant to be alone and struggle with this on our own.  God is there to help us through but He gave us humanity for the connection and solidarity that we so need and long for and desire.  So there it is, my reaching out to the world, whether I'm thought dumb or smart, whether I can articulately express myself or sound like an uneducated idiot, this is my mind.
