Back to Basics

I began this blog because I wanted to be able to express to myself and my deepest thoughts so that I may truly connect with myself and eventually better define who I am.

I plan to be honest, open, and uninhibited. I plan to seek betterment through learning and growing from my own thoughts and experiences. So, once again, here it goes...
