So why do this?
I think I'd like to convince myself that only good can come from this. So far, good has come from it (meaningful conversations, interesting debates, and a job), and for the most part I think the bad has been shielded from me -- said behind closed doors out of my earshot and awareness. Nevertheless, I cannot be naive in thinking that every person who reads this cares about what is being written, finds it intellectually or emotionally stimulating, or even bothers to enter this space again.
So why do this?
I know that there are people who read this blog because they care for me, and a lot of the things that I feel and think about during my day are not expressed in any other space. Mom -- I know you're reading this now because you love me, and if all of the other reasons I write in this blog disappear, you will always be a reason for me.
I use this space to reflect a portion of my world view. Like the title of this blog intends to express, I truly believe that the world we each see is colored differently because it is a reflection of who we are -- a reflection of our world view -- and perhaps we can begin to understand the complexity of our varying perspectives by expressing them to one another.
I'm going to keep opening up. I'm going to keep being honest here, describing the things I find interesting despite their accuracy or relevance to someone else, until one day it doesn't fit with me anymore.
Judge, critique, think and feel as you will, and I encourage you to express that to me.
