text 23 Dec the first post

hello! welcome,  i am humbled that you decided to take time to read what i decided to write on tuesday december 23rd at 12:40 am.

i was thinking it was time to have a blog again, and it feels right. i was once a member of the andropolis.org (if you are reading this, you should probably stop and go there) family but that came to an end when i felt my blogging had also come to an end. a while later, i opened one at wordpress and completely forgot about its existence. (now i feel obligated to mention that that is an incomplete history of my blogging career as i am neglecting, until this moment, to note that i did… i mean, i did have a xanga during middle school and early parts of high school…ahaha…)

but the truth is, i think maybe a blog is a platform to become a more coherent person by avoiding fragmenting life. i’m not sure if that makes much sense, but what i mean is, for example:

i am a Baha’i. i am a student. i accumulate a lot of speeding tickets. i am a member of my family. i go through tests like everyone else.

but..

i am never only a student and not a Baha’i. and i don’t go through life’s difficulties without being a member of my family.

since a blog is available for anyone to see, and you really do not know who in your life will read it…it challenges you to be a coherent person.

anyway, i think that made more sense in my head. maybe i will get better at conveying thoughts with practice.

a belated word of caution:

i relish in the ability to forgo the capitalization of  the first letter in each sentence. i think lower case is more friendly.  also, sometimes i like including exclamation points inside the parenthesis. (like this!!!!)
