Here I am!

A blog. This strange concept of such a thing had always been in the back of my mind but I never saw the point in starting one. No one would read it! But yet here I am! And readers or not, I will write anyways! I still have no idea what I will write about but I can imagine it will be along the various topics that randomly flow through my mind.


I have always loved writing and have found it as a sort of therapy for me. I am a keeper of various journals. I am not the best with verbal words and never have been. Shyness enveloped my entire being as a kid and it took a very long time to burst from it's bonds. Even though I am rarely shy anymore, there is a certain love I still have for writing. Give me any writing utensil and paper, or set me in front of a keyboard and I can express myself the exact way I intend to. 

You may be curious as to my blog title. My middle name is Rae, and my dad recounts coming up with that name a little something like this: "I was walking out of the hospital after you were born and it was a cloudy day. As I was walking to the car a sudden a ray of sunshine broke through and I decided that ray, spelled with an "e" would be your middle name." Kind of a random story! But I decided to name my blog after that little story because I know that a few of my future posts will be a little personal and thought provoking. I hope in a way that I can be that ray of sunshine for those out there that need a little light on a dreary day.

Although I am biologically young, I don't feel that way. I know I am not one to give expert advice or professional opinion but I know that I have been through enough thus far in my short period of existence to be able to convey what I know. While I am unsure about what future posts will be, I promise you readers (I hope to at least get a few!) that it will not be verbal "puke". When I write, I have a point in doing so. Well, I think that this long post suffices for now. Welcome to my blog!
