Blog shy.

I hate when this happens.

I want to give y'all words to read. Lot of them. Sometimes I sit down at my laptop, fully ready to type out a story.

Then I end up sitting there, staring at a blinking cursor, shooting down every sentence. I second guess everything. Am I sounding too self-righteous? Will this actually resonate with someone? I second guess myself all the way to closing my laptop and going to bed.

I get blog shy. 

So I hide behind pictures and a couple of poorly constructed sentences. Afraid to share what I really think about a lot of things. 

Afraid to put my name behind something in fear of alienating people. Afraid to be anything but PC.

Lame.

I almost feel as if I need a fresh start, a new introduction, so that people know what they're getting themselves into. Because I'm tired of hiding behind my pictures. I want to write words. 

I want to talk about my faith and the long, excruciating process of rediscovering it. I want to talk about how I think that "me time" is a myth. I want to talk about how I learned to love my role as a mom and wife. I want to talk about what a spoiled, rotten person I was once upon a time. But those things require me to be real. And to stand behind my own words.

That's what's on my mind today.

Here's a pretty picture.
