Day and Night

Life without a therapist, never being able to connect with someone I could communicate my thoughts with was tough, but I feel like Ive leaped some great hurdles in just a few short weeks. Its a bummer to think that I could have had growth sooner, emotionally, however having spent my whole life surrounded by self help, believing in it when it has never allowed me to grow was tough, but the first thing I needed to learn was speech. Truth, conveying my observations and controlling my voice and mind so that I could speak objectively and about every observation. This comes from balancing chakras, meditation, and making every effort to be a good life, a positive individual, express care, and take interest in others.

I was always a quiet person, thought my thoughts didnt matter, could be outgoing without ever making a friend. Im still learning how to connect with people, but trusting people is hard. Learning to trust people without judging them, expressing boundaries, being the person I would want my partner to be and expressing appropriate emotions and caring responses – it sometimes really hurts me to have to be so nice, but in all contexts, Ive been nice to the extent that I have nothing left, just now becoming something with something to offer again to friends, without being codependent, demanding, or a complainer. I do still have issues communicating and am discovering problems I have that need resolution and am also learning that I dont always have to be a ham, a turkey, or a chicken or give up beef.

Imagined Blame

I imagine that horrible things are happening to innocent people who are born human and know nothing of their destiny or purpose and are held responsibility for a destiny that they didn’t choose. People don’t choose their parents and the familial karma that comes with it, such as ptsd from abuse or other fates or feelings. The karmic cycle has to end, not be passed down from generation to generation as easily as they pass dud dna.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
