Getting hitched to See Hear Talk
I didn’t get married until I was almost 36. Until that point, a lot of people had told me I was either (a) looking for the perfect man; and/or (b) was unable to commit.
I don’t know if they were right or not; probably safe to say there was a bit of both in my hesitation to get hitched. But why am I telling you this?
I think I’m doing the same thing with the See Hear Talk blog.
I can’t speak for Michelle or Sarah, but I think I’ve been waiting for the perfect blog to just appear, and have been afraid to commit to the great ideas I have.
Just like I used to be with the guys I dated, pre-Hootie.
I wanted a relationship (substitute: blog) but I just wasn’t sure if it’d be worth the hassle and if I’d be any good with one.
Michelle, Sarah and I started our blog collective because we all felt we had something to share. We weren’t sure exactly what, and I think we were all nervous the blog would become a self-indulgent forum for unoriginal ideas about communication. But we wanted a blog and we said we’d do what it would take to make it work.
So enough with wishing it wore different shoes. Or took more than four shirts away with it any time we go anywhere. It’s my blog, and I’m responsible for my part in our relationship.
The engagement is over. I’m getting hitched. Today.
