How Did I Get Here?

This is my 5th attempt to start a blog. 

I've always been fascinated by blogging and I'm a pretty decent writer. But, I often find myself suffocating under the notion that, to be successful, I have to write about just one thing.

I tried writing about entrepreneurs. I tried rural life and nomad life. I tried mom life. None stuck. None of them ring true to me. I've lived all of those lives, not just one of them. Why should I have to limit myself in order to be considered virtually acceptable? 

Then - after a period of intense self-reflection supplemented heavily by therapy, change, and an almost gluttonous consumption of self-actualization media - I decided the only person limiting me was me. I just had to redefine my concept of successful. 

Would I love an inflated number of readers and a path to monetization, sure. I'll never say no to an extra source of income. But is that my goal anymore? No. I just have a lot of thoughts and I need a place to write them.

Uninhibited with the potential to be understood.
