I know there are many blogs about being an adult and getting braces. I read some and enjoyed being able to relate to the experience. However, it didn't feel like enough. I had to vent. My facebook friends got tired of my whining after 3 or 4 posts. So I thought I needed a blog. I don't want to be a complainer, I hate that about people. But I am experiencing something new and uncomfortable and have no one to talk about it with. So this is my journal. I hope you enjoy it, but ultimately I'm writing it for myself.
As I began to toy with the idea of a blog, I thought about what would make mine unique. Well, I'm vegan and I have braces. Hmmm....well, actually I wanted to be able to write about more than that. I want to write about my own self image. I want to talk about what the experience of being a woman in her 30's in southern California is like. California, the land of sunshine and movie stars. A place where it seems even more important to always look your best.
At first I felt like it was self important or pretentious to have a blog. Why would anyone care what I have to say? I'm still not sure. I know I enjoy reading, and I've always enjoyed journaling, but was afraid someone would find my journal and read it. It's so ironic that when I blog, the whole world can read it, but I can remain completely anonymous to my closest friends and family. So this is our little secret.
