Why I'm writing this

I don't know. When you think about it, pouring out your heart, your story, your soul to perfect strangers sounds inappropriate and dangerous, especially if you are like me and do not want to trust anyone with your bruised and battered heart. But... at the same time i want people to know my story. Maybe i write this because I want my pain and struggles to be validated somehow. That by sending my words out into the vastness of this virtual world, someone will stumble across them and read them, and then maybe i won't feel so alone in it all.
