Verbal Nudity

So this is my first attempt at blogging. I guess it's a step in a new direction, an attempt to find out something I didn't know before. I've just been reading several people's blogs lately, and I find them fascinating. And I've been figuring things out lately too, but my first post isn't really the place for such ramblings. I'm not here to keep a journal of my life, or to tell the story of my existence (although pieces of that will inevitably sneak in on occasion). What I'm really trying to do is to write out my thoughts, find a way to articulate my true emotions. So here I am.

Now for a bit of background. I've always been characteristically shy. As far as most people are aware, I'm an introvert. Sure, once you get to know me, there are times when I just won't shut up, but getting to know me takes a bit of effort, admittedly. Expressing thoughts isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world for me. There are some people I can talk to about anything sometimes, but a lot of the time, I just keep my mouth shut. I avoid saying what I really think for one reason or another. So in a way, this is my journey into expression, into releasing everything that floats around in my mind.

As far as the title of this post, Verbal Nudity, goes...it's laying my thoughts bare for the world to see. I intend for all of my writing to be honest, true, uncensored. Maybe that's really what I'm trying to find in all of this--the truth. Either way, I think I'm in for one hell of a ride.
