So, I tried to start a blog a couple years ago, but it didn't really seem to work out to well -- I was never able to do such a great job at actually keeping it going. Hopefully, this time will be better.
Anyway, I guess I should explain a little bit about myself. My name is Crystal. I'm a sophomore at the University of Kentucky and I'm studying Psychology. And in less than two months, I will be getting married to the best man on the planet.
That being said, I think it's safe to say that I happen to have a lot of stress to deal with. Between school, family and wedding planning, life can get pretty hectic for me sometimes. Thankfully, I've got a core group of friends and relatives to help me through the tough times. But I have to be honest, sometimes they aren't enough.
See, I'm a reader -- I mean, I love reading. And, as is usually the case with most readers, I also enjoy writing. Mostly, I prefer writing fiction, but over the years I've come to like writing thoughtful, more personal pieces as well. I've also come to find that writing is an excellent means of catharsis for me -- especially in the past few years.
Writing is a way for me to get my feelings out in ways that I can't seem to manage through any other activity. Talking doesn't always work in the same way; and bottling things up certainly is never a good answer. But writing really seems to do the trick. It helps me to get all the thoughts that are in my head out of the way.
The title of this blog perfectly describes its purpose -- this is the reason why I write. I write because, not writing would most definitely lead to my going insane. And, since I can't have that happen, I've decided to attempt to write at least once every few days.
What that means is, basically whenever I feel the need to vent or express myself in any way, I will get on here and write about it. This will probably happen a lot in the next two months. Here's hoping that I stay true to my "plan" and that you all enjoy the results of this little cathartic exercise.
