To Preface.

This might just be the most accidentally poetic thing I've ever done or will ever do.

The things you will see in this space, in case you have not been told so already and/or have stumbled across this by mere chance, are an attempt to map out the known pathways of my very own mind. I want to make it very clear (VERY CLEAR) that none of the words I have written are so absolute that you must change your perspective on the world. That may just be the most humble statement by your's truly that anyone will read here.

Again, just to emphasize: I am not claiming to know the absolute truth with these entries. I am writing from what I know, what I feel is true about me, others and the world around me. Sure, truth--if you wish to philosophically argue--is objective. (While some schools of thought believe that it is subjective, this subject is altogether another entry.)

I don't want to force anyone to live by my philosophy. My intent with this operation is primarily personal. Like any journal, I will record my own thoughts and things that I have learned. Unlike a daily diary, however, I will not be writing about everyday ventures to the grocery or which boy I am so sickeningly in love with this week. Here, I will discuss life lessons I've learned, fascinating facts I've taken note of, and probably some self-indulgent talk of what I think makes me who I am. In hopes that anyone may benefit from thought processes I have come to trust and notes of the world I've taken, I am publishing this publicly.
This serves the purpose of giving me a place to think AND a project to work on--a struggle I almost always have trouble with. If you find something that helps you, it is free. I only ask that you utter thanks.
