Blog Post 1 - Dear Chick:

 Dear Chick,

Well, I have decided that I can be one of those people who write on blogs. I will write things I think will help you in that transition to adulthood. Or just about things that I want to write, you know, for posterity. Probably Not my posterity but everyone else's.

You have validated my feelings about this, because about a month ago when we were hanging out I asked "If I had a blog, what should I write about?" And you answered, not in exact words, that I could write about my little life lessons I always mention. Just earlier that morning on I had found a way to bring up a life lesson from our car ride to my house. So, your wish is my command. Here you go, chick. Here you go.

I sometimes like to be a little philosophical, so I hope you don’t mind and can appreciate it some, or at least not roll your eyes. Actually its okay if you do in private. This blog might turn out to be “slightly” self indulgent - as in I get to choose what I’m writing and think all my ideas are pretty much genius. At least for me. You know how you can make connections in a split second and your thinking is really just an enlightening of feelings and emotions and concepts that just tweak your view of reality the tiniest bit into a new paradigm? Well, I’m not always the best of putting those into words. So sometimes I might try too hard. Though my first priority in this is to give you something of value and could help you in life.

I see you growing up as I did in an uncertain world, not just because of the societal and political chaos around us, but just because from teenagehood to adulthood there can be a lot of insecurities and decisions and pressure which can be overwhelming. And for sure your world is more uncertain than mine. We all have to make decisions of how we are going to live our lives, but I would hope I could shed some light on things that might make it a little better. Or I just like to hear myself talk - that is also a big thing. ;)
