While at dinner with a couple close guy friends last night, I found myself in one of my thinking modes I seem to find myself in pretty often lately. A few years ago, I stumbled into a new kind of community. I was dragged into a completely different type of friendship than what I was used to. Before this, my friends and I only hung out at school and rarely ever out outside of school. It took me a couple years to really truly belong to this group. Although I wasn't born in a rough neighborhood nor was a raised in one, I seem to be able to fit in just fine with the people that were. These are the people that belong to this group of friends.
This group of friends will stick by your side unless you fail to follow the unwritten rules. We're closer than most families. We do not let someone struggle, get hurt, or go through hard times alone. We're all in it together and we don't leave a single person behind. If someone gets jumped, we might as well have all gotten jumped. If someone is starving, we might as well all be starving. If someone is ill or in a bad situation, we might as well all be there right next to that person. We don't snitch on each other. We share a bond so strong nothing and no one can ever break it.

The beginning..
What is a blog, exactly? Although there is no clear-cut definition for it, everybody has their own individual meaning for it. For some people, it's a way to express their feelings without feeling judged. For others, it's a way to get their opinion out there and heard.
A blog is a journal for today's people. A modern version of the pen and paper. In todays's age of technology, everything that was once put on paper, is being transferred to computers. Journaling is no exception.
My favorite part of blogging is just the simple fact of getting your feelings out. I enjoy writing my feelings down on paper so I'm expecting to like this version even more. Getting my feelings out helps me face life rather than stand by and let it live on without me.
The most challenging aspect about blogging is the privacy issue. While blogging, there is absolutely no privacy. Although I say it's my most challenging thing, I still don't find it to be a huge challenge. It may work to my advantage, actually. This can be a positive thing if looked at from one direction but also a negative thing if looked at from another perspective.
