The New Girl

     As I welcome myself to this old, yet new-found-technology, I find myself questioning why we choose to put ourselves in vulnerable situations.  I do not like to be judged as much as the next person, yet here I am.  I have written since about the age of 12, it is my get-away, my safety blanket.  Writing is a way for me to tuck away into my own secret, pretend world, and no one knows where it is; it is magical here.  It is not about the grammar and punctuation, it is about embracing a good feeling.  So, once again, I question why I am here.  I think I am ready to share my secret world--with the world.  I have kept the most amazing secrets to life in my head; why not share them?  The secrets to life, happiness, and confidence I have; and I find it time to share them with you.  I want to share my thoughts and secrets throughout several posts; I would not want to ruin it all in one day, right?
      The term, "Chasing Rainbows," is the term I use to describe countless situations in life.  Rainbows are beautiful, symbolic, and mesmerizing; yet, you will never have one to call your own.  Regardless of what goes on inside your head, you will never catch a rainbow.  So, I question myself on this theory--is it ok to chase a rainbow, if you know you will never catch it?  In the begining, I said no.  Give up.  Do not chase things in life you will never have: a certain job, a man or woman, a pet....just give up.  Now?  I disagree.  If wherever you find happiness is impossible, so-be-it, you are happy, right?
