For all the silence-is-golden types out there

When starting a blog, basically a public display of splitting your guts open and shouting at the world how you feel, among other questions you get from people, there’s one that seems hard to answer: "Why?!"

It is a damn good question, as I am not that self-centered to believe my word is so crucial to be spread around. And yet I do it... I believe writing to be more like an act of exorcism, where instead of running away from my demons I choose to drag them out and confront them. No, I don’t think I am special for doing that; after all at the end of the day we all have our share of lost and won battles. With ourselves... I just publicize my engagements, and this is my battlefield's diary.

Why would anyone else be interested in that? I don’t know... This is all about the experiences I go through everyday, people that make a difference in my life and the reasons for my secret smile. The following lyrics come courtesy of a dear friend of mine,  I just thought they go perfectly with what I just said before and match my present frame of mind:

My patience wears thin
As I sit and stare
Clad in the rags
Of one forgotten.
A nasty little secret
Tucked away
Out of sight, out of mind
"Shh... Don’t say a word;
Maybe he’ll go away."
My thoughts speak volumes
But my words are useless
Because life is simple
And I am more
Than you could ever imagine
