OverOpinionated.com | Over Excited. Over Animated. Over Opinionated.

55 days…  That’s exactly how long it’s been since either Krista or myself has made a new post on overopinionated.com.  Life has been more than a little crazy for both of us, to say the least.  Krista is now very pregnant (still just as beautiful as she ever was), and in the process of moving, and although I had a break from school, it didn’t really feel like a break because it seemed that everything just kept speeding up as soon as I tried to sit still.  Life is just like that at times, but 55 days is a long time- too long.

In all honesty, it didn’t hit me until yesterday that it had been so long.  I was in my usual thinking place- the shower – and I started getting frustrated wondering about why it is that I forget a lot of the good ideas I get in a moment of inspiration, and it occurred to me that I don’t take the time to write them down.  Then I thought of overopinionated, and I said to myself, “It just doesn’t make sense that I have this wonderful podium from which to share these ideas with others (with all of you), and yet I haven’t been consistently taking advantage of it.”  That was when I realized something about myself.

I am a Procrastinator.  However, it’s not because I’m lazy- I’m a perfectionist.  I don’t write it down, because if I can’t think it all the way through initially, I say to myself “No, it’s not good enough” or “It won’t inspire…” or “They won’t think that’s very funny.”  I told myself that it was better not to write anything at all, than to write something less-than-perfect.  I wrapped myself so tightly around what I thought was the ultimate ideal that I forgot what the whole point of this site was supposed to be about- sharing.

So, maybe I can’t convey a perfectly eloquent sentiment every time I sit down to type. Maybe every blog I write won’t be life altering or profound or terribly moving… but, that’s ok.  I’ve recently learned that it’s alright to not to be perfect. It’s alright not to have it all figured out- whether it’s blogs or relationships.  Sometimes, things just happen, and you have enjoy it, and take the good from it.  Long story short- this will be the first of many more less-than-perfect blogs to come.

Thanks for letting me share with you.
