Introduck... well I was trying to come up with a title and then I realized adding the "k" would make "duck"

Hiii!

My name is Stephanie and I'm starting this blog without a real direction to go in.  That may or may not change in the future... who knows?  Direction or no direction... either might be good for me.  I'm not really writing for any particular purpose other than to express my thoughts into a semi-cohesive...text? manner? frame? (I might be showing how my slight difficulty in expressing my thoughts works... I just can't think of the right word...)

I've recently realized that I actually picture emotions and feelings before I have words for them.  It's really interesting.  I don't think it's uncommon for people to express emotions as colors and perhaps one day, I should read about that.  (If I do and anyone wants to read what I've found out, I'll make sure to post the link here.)

So perhaps you're wondering why the title of this.. text manner frame?... is "Rough Jade"?  Well, I actually attempted this blog a while back and at that time, I had been doing a lot of growing.  Apparently, jade undergoes a lot of refinement before becoming the beautiful piece of stone that it is and like a piece of unfinished jade, I was and still am undergoing much refinement.  Thus perhaps this can be a recording of how I grow into who I am, and one day, I'll look back and see how far I've come.

I may not be the most eloquent of writers... or speakers... but I know that I do have eloquent, colorful emotions and thoughts that, if I'm able to capture them, may speak something to you and to my future self.

Or, I may not have those things at all and this will just be fun to try =)
