Journal Introduction.

You, whoever you are (even if it is me just reading this again), this is personal. Highly classified. The only individuals that should be reading this are those who manage to stumble across this and you, who probably falls in the previous category. However you managed to get here, if you were directed here by myself or through other means, consider yourself lucky. This is a personal gold mine. Gold. Why? Because this is my life, unfiltered and uncovered. A vault for my triumphs and my sins. A pedestal for my good qualities and a bleeding rack for my shortcomings. This blog is who I am and what I am made of. 

Now the immediate question is wh- am I, exactly. You probably want a name or a face. But that's not Who I am. That's just a facade and a label, merely the title and cover page for a book. Who I am can only be taken from the actions I made, am making or will make in the future. It'll probably be hard to gather what makes me tick at first, but ultimately – if you stay involved with this blog – you'll know my inner workings as well as I do. Which isn't very well. But, for the sake of keeping things simple and organized, I do have a pseudonym. Ascydd. Pronounced just like 'Acid'. I thought it looked cool like that. The name doesn't have an origin or a grand meaning. It's just a name, though a little more detached than that.

A title rather. Yea, that sounds better.

Now that you know what I am called, I'm sure you might be curious as to 'why' I am doing this. Who would want to expose their own life like a tell-all book? It's a release, honestly and the comfort of anonymity allows me to express any and all of my feelings without anyone getting hurt by them. I can speak my mind (and let the little voices speak too) without anyone interjecting or their judgments following me home. After all, there is no 'Ascydd' listed in the phone books. So, behold my truth and everything I think of it. This is an opportunity to know my life as I know it, understand it as I understand it and possibly live it as I live it – with an up-side of not having to experience any of the pain first hand and the ability to just skip to the good parts. Lucky you.

So, person reading this, sit back, relax, click that little 'follow' icon wherever it is, and embrace the nature of me and all my trimmings.
