Hello, everybody and welcome to my blog! My name is Erin, and I am a college student currently studying education. "So why start a blog?", you may ask. Well, I simply have a lot to say. While I know the odds of people reading what I have to say on a regular basis are slim and I may as well write in the journal next to my bed rather than a public blog online, I feel as if doing this is more therapeutic. And who knows, maybe there will be only one person who actually listens what I have to say, and in a little way, I could help them.
Anyways, I am not going to tell you why I am calling my blog "The Yellow Umbrella", not because I don't feel as if you deserve to know, but simply because owning a blog is the equivalent of walking through a big city naked - exposing. Nothing is private. By not explaining the meaning behind the name of this blog, I manage to keep something private, no matter how small. Yet here I am, writing the first post of many in which you will quickly learn my secrets, goals and ambitions, fears, pet peeves, and all things that occupy the space behind my eyes. I want it to be known that these thoughts are mine, and mine alone. It would be unrealistic for me to believe that everyone will agree with what I have to say or even like what I have to say. If for any reason my words bring fire to your eyes and you begin to shake with anger, simply close your laptop and do not look back - life is too short to be angry and nothing good ever comes from a harsh word.
It is a good day for a good day.
Erin
