Getting Warmed Up (Blog Assignment #1)

A blog is unique in the fact that it is not a new concept at all, but a new avenue of exploration. The United States of America is internationally known for its freedom of speech. It is not necessarily about what makes a blog, a blog. It is more about what a blog makes a blogger. People began life and youth filled with adventure and imagination. They encompassed beauty, passion, and creativity. However, throughout school, work, or (if they are religious) church, they are instilled with the words of others. The aspect that has distinguished blogs is the freedom it gives an individual to share their opinions and beliefs with the world. A brand new conquest: bringing voice back to the voiceless. A blog is a blog because it rejuvenates a person to express their passion, and gives them the world to communicate with.

My favorite aspect of blogging is the thought that some one out there may truly believe in my thoughts. I become energized when people relate and relay their own stories and thoughts. Inside of everyone there is a morsel of insecurity that lingers. At times it can become overwhelming. The thing that I love the most is being understood and supported by people I have never even met.

The most challenging part about blogging is finding direction. Too often there seems to be a flood of words in my mind. It is just difficult to wade through and gather the theme floating around. The mind is willing, but the fingers are weak. It is most challenging to channel my thoughts to a clear conclusion.
