OK. So here's the deal. I was reading this great blog article and the author was discussing gay "rights" and the progress on gay marriage. He was saying (i'm just going to admit right here that i don't remember where i read this. don't hate. if you know, please give props and a link in the comments!) that the progress we've made is a result of increased visibility. By stepping out and showing people that we are ordinary people living ordinary lives who happen to be homosexual, we change perceptions. He encouraged everyone (again, kicking myself that i can't properly attribute here...) to share their stories. i thought that brilliant.
So, here's Ours. i will attempt (no promises!) to be diligent and share with any and all who might be interested our boring, mundane (but ever so dramatic) lives as we struggle with money and family and weight ... (sound at all familiar?). i will attempt to be entertaining but unflinchingly honest.
i am not always pretty and i am not always right. i'm not ashamed to admit it. Everyone who reads this should always remember this is Our Story. i am not shooting a documentary or writing an article. This will be where i tell the story of us ... even as it is being written.
Love is... the journey. Enjoy the trip.
sooooooooo, there's a few things i just address but nothing for which i will apologize. i regard capitalization as a form of emphasis much like italics or bold. similarly i don't agree with always capitalizing "I". we live in a society of self-importance and i refuse to participate -- consider this my form of grammatical rebellion. and i'm pretty free with the punctuation. ultimately the point is to express myself.
