Why?

Why do I want to do this?  What makes me think I am the right person to write this blog and address these topics?

Well, let me start here...

Have you ever been out in public or even among a group of friends and looked around you?  I mean really looked.  At the people, at the way they act, at the way they present themselves to the outside world?  

Have you ever been part of a discussion and found yourself wondering when the bullshit would end and people would actually talk to each other for real?

Have you ever found yourself wanting to shout things to the world and prayed they would listen?

Have you experienced really tough shit as life throws you obstacle after obstacle and then gone on social media and felt even worse once inundated with all the happy smiles and "Isn't life great?!" posts and such?

These are the tip of the iceberg for me.  I have been to hell and back in my life multiple times and have hit a point where I am so sick of the acts that everyone puts on and the images they feel a need to play into and project that aren't actually real.  I look around me and wonder what happened to people being real and themselves and talking about what it is really like to be human and deal with human crap.  

There are so many topics I would love to address and have powerful thoughts on and I am making a pact with myself to share them. It doesn't matter to me whether I have a million followers or not.  If I can change even one life or help one person by breaking through some of the bullshit and talking about things candidly, this will be a success in my eyes. 

P.S. If there is any topic you would love to hear my two cents on that I am not covering, please reach out!  I have a notebook full of potential posts, but there are always more!
