AND THEN THERE WAS ONE

This is it. The beginning. Beginning of what you ask? Oh, you don't know?! Well I will tell you!

I am in love with words. I learned this within the year. (What a wonderful realization that I can learn more about myself. Since it's me (thinking to myself), I thought I would know all possible information, but the truth is different than perception. I actually have so much more to learn about myself in order to grow into a well rounded woman.) I digress. Where was I?... I love words. I am analytical by nature. This is why I am currently studying Philosophy. The thinkers of early history lured me in with their dense explanations of self. I had my first taste of Socrates and I was immediately hooked. Hello... My name is Jennifer and I'm addicted to knowledge.

So, here I am, trying to understand why I love to understand. It's as complex as it sounds yet so very simple. There's another word I love! Simple. Someone had a significant affect on my life recently and he taught me the beauty in simplicity. I even constructed a sculpture that embodied my love for the process of letting go of the idea that my life (and only mine) was so complex. To let go of the lies that I have built many other lies upon is a tough job. Wait... I'm lost... what was the point?

YES! I know! This, my love, is my first post. I am going to dibble dabble in this Internet craze and try to put my thoughts out there. My intentions are for the people of my past and present life find a connection with me. I tend to ignore my cell phone. I forget to send the thank you cards. When is Christmas anyway? I'm not very good at connections. I'm what some call an isolator. So, here I am. Again. Trying.

If you have any intentions of popping my bubble, killing my dream, sending negativity... save it for your journal. This one is for me. In the journey of understanding myself, I have no time or energy to entertain such attitudes.

Plans for this experiment are in the air. When I smell something good, you'll hear about it. Honestly, I don't know if this will lead to a second post... but I'm excited to find out. Will you be willing to find out with me?
