Why blog?

I've taken the decision to document this because it's a pretty important undertaking and I think/hope it may be cathartic if it's a painful process. 

Part of me regrets burning my diary when I was a teenager, a result of my parents reading it (without permission I might add) and being horrified by my outrageous teenage antics. Now an adult I too am horrified by my teenage antics. But I digress.  It would have been rather fun to read what my teenage self was thinking and feeling and I think in a way 'the burning' has contributed to the start of this blog.
