Preface

I'm not a writer. Even though I try to be, I know that a tech blog amongst the thousands is nothing serious. I don't do it for anything other than my love of both tech and writing.

I also don't pretend to have all the answers in life. If fact, I seem to have so few for both myself and others. I once used to blog about things of meaning like being a good person and having faith. It was something I was proud of,  but I never felt I had an impact. Maybe I was wrong.

The purpose for this was never to be read; this wasn't written for an audience. This was written to make a difference. The problem with my blog was maybe not that I had the wrong things to say, but maybe the wrong place to say them. Maybe I just didn't give enough when it was needed or I said the right things at the wrong time.

In my heart, I feel like people need direction and a guiding hand at times. Even the most independent people don't always have the answers. While I know I certainly don't have the answers for all people all the time, I may have the answers for some people some of the time, and I think that's the point.

I once made the comment to someone that even though we can't change or fix everything, doesn't mean we should just not change anything. While the subject of that comment is irrelevant to this writing, I have since come to realize that that is the greatest thing that has ever come in to my head.

Too often, we get caught up in an all-or-nothing mentality; I either want it to be everything I want or just forget it. Honestly, I have spent much of my life this way. However, as time passes, you behind to realize that life shouldn't be looked at as just a single thing. It is a collection of smaller details that create a single thing, much like the human body. We don't need to have everything change for everything to change. Sometimes we need to pick out the good things first to understand that it is much better than it appears to be at times.

That is my point for writing this. My intention is to share my experience and my thoughts in hopes that it will help me understand that life is a collection, not an item. My hope is that if I choose to share my life with others one day, someone, even just one someone, may have their life altered for the better. And if not, maybe at least mine will.
