This is me.

I have had blogs before.

This is my third "real" attempt.

This is also my first semi-anonymous blog.

Some people know me.
Most won't.

I like it like that.
I have been more open and honest here than I have to anyone, or anything, before.

Talking to my dog used to be almost therapeutic.
She would listen.
Lick my hand.
Nudge me.
And it comforted me.
It was even more comforting because she didn't judge me.
She couldn't talk back.

Now that therapeutic place is here.
Right now.
What you are reading is 100% me.
There is no cover-ups.
No makeup hiding the flaws.

This is me.

One day I hope to be able to take all of this and show this person as the real me.
One day when I don't fear critism as much as I do.
