Here Goes Nothing

     Isn't it odd? I thought I was a relatively fearless guy. But at this moment, while writing this I'm practically shaking. The really odd thing though is that I don't even know why I'm like this. I'm confident nobody I know will relate this little venture to me. I'll tell you a secret, my name isn't even Paul. Even if someone did find this, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm happy with who I am and it might even be an easier way to go about this. All I would have to do is be there and say, "Guilty, the cat's out of the bag." But that's just it, I wouldn't feel guilty for being me, I would feel guilty that I had let anyone find out like that. When it's time I'd rather go with the, 'Hey there's something you don't know about me.' approach rather than the, 'Oh that? Yeah...' approach. But why am I shaking? I guess it's a little weird to be sharing this at all, even with people that are at the moment strangers. It had to come to this eventually I guess, journeys starting with single steps and all that. You can chalk it up to nerves I guess. There's something really intimidating about the unknown and I guess that's what this really is, an experiment with unknown results. I'm not sure where this is going to go from here, or how it even started. All I know is that I would be glad to have you with me if you want to follow along. You're reading the thoughts of someone who is... a little different, but the stripes on a tiger are hard to change.
