Conversations with Myself - why?

How can you know what I want when you've never asked and I've never offered to tell you? How can I know who I am when I've only had conversations with myself?

Why am I writing this blog?

Why is it called Conversations with Myself?

What is this blog about?

Conversations with Myself is a piece of writing that I wrote a few years ago and is one of my favourites. I wrote it at a time when I was realising how little I had spoken to others throughout my life up until that time and how that had affected me. I wrote it just for myself about me not talking very much and how this made it difficult for me to know myself well. A few years on and I am very aware of how social connections help me to know myself better. This piece is also a reminder to me that if I am feeling misunderstood by others I can speak up and maybe clarify the situation. I cannot expect others to know what I need or want if I haven't told them. By sharing who I am with others they get to know me and I also get to know myself better. This piece of writing serves as a strong reminder to me to keep sharing who I am while I keep working it out. This is also a main aim of mine in writing this blog.
I'm sure there will be plenty of conversations with myself as I write. Working out what I want to say and how I want to say it. Like the piece of writing, this blog is also about social connections as I invite others to read and maybe add to what I write. It is a way of writing with an audience in mind. I hope to share some of my ideas and perceptions and learn lots along the way. It is not about any one thing in particular but rather a glimpse into my unique perspective on life which is, of course, coloured by my experiences.
