The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

I forget where I first found this "dictionary" but within it I found a word the resonated strongly within me: énoument which, according to the creator of the dictionary, means:

the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, where you can finally get the answers to how things turn out in the real world—who your baby sister would become, what your friends would end up doing, where your choices would lead you, exactly when you’d lose the people you took for granted—which is priceless intel that you instinctively want to share with anybody who hadn’t already made the journey, as if there was some part of you who had volunteered to stay behind, who was still stationed at a forgotten outpost somewhere in the past, still eagerly awaiting news from the front.

Lengthy, I know, but I wanted to give credit where credit is due, especially because I plan to never delete anything from this blog(or this blog itself) because I do that ALL THE TIME with my various blogs and always regret it. So, in the weird impossibility that people actually come to notice this blog, I don't want to get in trouble for taking a word that defines so much of my experience. All this as a background to my introductory post. Whew. Sorry friends. Here we go:

Writing is my outlet. Always has been. Always will be. In high school I wrote a letter to myself to be opened when I graduated. It was so helpful that I did it again. And again. Always the words I've found in those letters from the past helped me wherever I was in the present. People tell me that I write well. People tell me that my words resonate. I hope that continues to be true. I only know my own experiences and I write about the things which I feel be they my personal day-to-day or be they commentary on the world around me. If you're familiar with Harry Potter, I might consider this blog to be my pensieve [not going to lie, just considered a name change to reflect my Harry Potter nerdness, but it seems it's been taken.]

Anyway, if you follow this blog you'll be reading updates on my life (highs and lows) as well as commentary on things in the world that I think I have at least one worthwhile thought on. I'm usually serious and occasionally funny. I'm also a Bible-believing Christian, form whatever judgments you would like now, I don't mind.
