Welcome to my new blog!

Hello there!

Welcome to my new blog! I started it explicitly for reasons that you will soon find out. But first, a little disclaimer: if you're a snowflake - a.k.a. a "woke person" - someone who is easily offended and cannot even fathom the possibility of a reality beyond what you've conjured up in your little brain, then I'm afraid this is not a place for you! I have things to say, most of which come from deep contemplation that has expanded not years but decades. So things I write are not from a mere whim. They have been seriously considered and if it turns out that what I have to say offends certain people, then clearly they were meant to be offended. It is not possible to express yourself without offending someone. It just isn't. So if your idea of a perfect world is one where everyone else tiptoes around your heavily sheltered and limited ideas, then I'm sorry to disappoint you. You do not belong here.

So here goes my very first and simple, introductory post. ENJOY!

I used to write a LOT! In my old Facebook profile, which I deleted a couple of years ago, I used to blab a lot about how I feel regarding certain topics. Some topics were banal and readers would merely be amused. Others were hot and spicy and heated up unnecessary debates which sometimes turned ugly.

I even had a couple of blogs going too. The first one was short lived and it looked more like the rantings and ravings of a frustrated teenager (it really was!). I took that one down out of sheer embarrassment as I grew older. I started the second one several years later when I began to hop around the world and started experiencing more of what life has to offer. It was a more peaceful blog and it came from a place of pure wonderment and an alternative, empathetic approach to reality. Sadly, that too was taken down a couple of years later after my adventures took a sour turn and I was left scarred from incredibly painful experiences. Since then, I quit writing for a long time.

Fast forward several more years, here I am contemplating starting another blog. This time, I feel like nothing will force me to take it down. I feel like I am now experienced and wise enough to express myself without the fear of condemnation either by others or my future self, or more importantly - the worry that my material will not age well. I do not care for either anymore. Through cold and jarring experiences, I have learned the hard way that once you lose your voice, you lose YOURSELF; you become nothing more than a fleeting shadow of your former self. It is a tragic sickness and I have seen this infecting others; some of whom are very close to me, and I have seen it creeping ever so slowly into my own psyche. No more!

This third and final blog of mine will stay up until I'm gone from this world, and even after that, those close to me will hopefully help keep it running for however long as they can. For this blog will be TRUTH! As they say, third time is the charm!
