990 Pieces of the Puzzle

Why do I have a blog? I'm not one to speak my mind; at least not to more than one trusted confidante. I am actually quite talented at keeping my thoughts and opinions to myself. In some ways, it's a wonderful ability to have. But mostly I do it because I'm scared out of my mind. If I voice an opinion someone might disagree, then I'd have to actually defend myself when every fiber of my being wants nothing more than to avoid conflict. So again, why do I have a blog? I'm stepping outside of the comfort zone. I'm putting myself out there when, even as I'm writing this, I wonder/worry about what people are going to think about some of the things I have to say. I suppose it's an exercise in self-worth. 

If someone were to write the story of my life, the saddest part would be to have the most profound moments omitted because no one knew about them.
