The Substitute People

For those of you who have no idea what the title of this blog means, let me enlighten you. My favorite movie of all time is Elizabethtown. In this movie two characters who are obviously right for each other keep trying to justify NOT being together. Neither of them can commit to each other the way they are meant to, because they are both too afraid to take the risk and jump in. They claim that they are the "substitute people" the ones you count on to hold you over until you meet the "right person." The reason I even bring this is up is because lately I've been feeling like everyone's substitute person. Not necessarily just as far as relationships with guys goes, but also with friends and even family. I am that person that everyone leans on until they find somebody better. I think that's been the story of my entire life. I'm at the point that I'm certain that I don't take enough risks. I am so safe if I stay the way I am, no way to get hurt right?

And so it begins...

I have now begun my first ever blog. I am slightly nervous because I don't like to write anything that isn't interesting or exciting. Who would want to read a blog about nothing? Well I guess you would, because you are reading it right now. But don't worry, I won't judge. I finally caved to the blogosphere. Is that even a word? Anyway, I am now here on this page, very excited to commence this new phase in my life. I must give kudos to my dear friend Abby who helped me begin building this page you see before me. I'm not sure why I decided to begin this, but sometimes we all do things for strange reasons. You will see more of my strange decisions as time goes by, because I make a lot of those... the journey begins.
