It's Okay To Not Title Something If You Don't Know What It Is Yet, but then if you find out, _reconsider.

I'm at the library. I came here expressly to focus, but I'm finding that I keep looking around- not surprising- I'm an observer, a student of whatever feels right to discover, but I'm hoping to be better at getting my thought down on paper ON THE INTERNET= OUT INTO PUBLIC. I write all the time in journals, but I've always wanted a space to share what I'm thinking about- I'd probably talk less, make less mistakes about what I believe and where I'm going- journals are wonderful, but it's also cool to be able to write about the grey-hair balding guy a few computers away who's on a creepy looking dating site, or something I ran across on the web, or what I'm studying, or even just philosophies I'm considering.

I'm starting an engineering program in a few weeks. I'm excited and scared, but accountability is going to be really huge here. I want to be a doctor- so I'm wading through fields and fields until I get there. I'm 25 years old, en route to my first degree, but I'm also a licensed massage therapist, early educator and healer.

I've been frustrated for a while at my lack of output- I was once a regularly performing poet- so even if people didn't know me very closely, they knew my writing style. I ALWAYS wanted more. I'm weird and think about weird things, and the poet platform wasn't enough. I want to BLAB- not nonsensically (or at least as much as I can help it)- but so YOU- whoever you are, can know (and maybe also think about) some of the things I'm thinking about. But to be honest, mostly I'm writing so you can think about what you want to think about. I'll pose questions, thoughts, maybe theories and formulas- I want you to think about what you're thinking, why you're thinking it, what made you formulate it the way you did, and onward-

I'm an engineer in my soul- observing, measuring, contemplative, resourceful- to have found this arena is a grace I can only repay by sharing with you what it means for me. I hope that as this happens that I will clarify my own ideas, and perhaps with your help stretch more! Please contact me if you want to talk about something I've written, if you have questions, or if you want me to write about something- I'll take requests!

So I'm Elizabeth, and also Lily (the 'raised' little girl I was and am very much still), Dr.- in- mind-fighting-to-be-legit, and narrator- this is my story- but it was ultimately written by my Creator God. I just get to talk about it and talk about it and talk about it. That makes me happy.

Blessings to you and yours, merry thinking!

Elizabeth
