1st post, reasons why.

Of the 14 short years I have been on this earth, I guess I have seen/ been through a lot. I don't know why I'm writing this blog, maybe its for support or to vent or to share my experiences with the world, but I did, and I am going to make the most of it.
When I was younger I remember that evening was always a time for my mother and I to sit down and talk about something exciting that happened that day. Being an only child, these 'meetings' were often monotonous and repetititve.
I specifically remember when 9/11 happened.I was four at the time. My mom picked me up early from preschool. She her eyes were read as if she had been crying. She was quiet and mournful, and that was so unusual from her usual, quirky self. I knew something was up.
After dinner we had our usual telling of events. I don't remeber what I said.
But I do remember my mom saying there was near the place we lived. (we lived about 4 miles away from the pentagon.) She said a lot of bad people had taken over some airplanes and made them crash into important buildings. A lot of people were dead.
I was four years old. I didn't understand.
On 9/11/2001, flight 11 crashed into the one of the twin towers. I was supposed to be on that flight, with my mom and her friend and her daughter.
My mom was so angry that she got rescheduled.
That is amazing news. In a bad way, not a good way.
Everyone on that flight died.
I wouldn't be alive right now.
To me that is a sign that God put me on this earth for a purpose, that my legacy has not been finished yet. I know I have a specific purpose, and I need to do so.
What may that be?
I have no idea.
I do know that I need to find it.
That, I think, is why I started this blog.
