Welcome To My World!

For many years now, I have been toying with the notion of writing a book. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a murder mystery, which is my favorite genre, or some kind of memoir of my experiences. I always felt that if I tried to do a story based on my life, that that would be too presumptuous, that maybe nobody would be interested. After all, I'm only 35, and I'm nobody famous. About a month ago, I decided to combine the two ideas and just start writing. I got about five pages in and was pretty satisfied. Then.... nothing. I didn't know where to go, I didn't think I was being true to myself by trying to fictionalize things. Plus, I have a lot of things to say and really don't want to wait years to say them.
So, after reading a couple of my friends' blogs, I've decided that this is the way to go, to just share my feelings "in real time". I'm calling this blog "Through the Looking Glass" because, simply put, for much of my adult life I've felt like I've been living in an alternative universe than everybody else, just like Alice did when she hopped down that hole to Wonderland. Things have happened and I've thought, "Are you for real?" or "Is it just me?" But no, the world moves on, and you just have to move with it.
My address is going to be "Scales of Existence" because I was born on September 28, making me a Libra on the Zodiac calendar. Everything about the Libra personality is me, truly. Mostly, its the decision-making. I'm a people pleaser and when I realize that something I am going to do will make some people less thrilled then others, I can sit there for hours going back and forth on something, practically making up my mind for one idea, then two hours later, convincing myself of the other. It drives my husband crazy!
Not to mention my desire for a stability that, at this point, I don't thing will ever come. I don't like change, I get panicky. Yet, since I was 19, I've moved no less than 12 times to 5 different states. I like Minnesota as much as anywhere I've ever lived, but even now, with 4 years here, I am starting to think about Florida, Connecticut, other places to try, or try again.
So, as I move along here, I plan to share my thoughts, my memories, my life. Hope some of you might like to join me!
