The idea of blogging has always alluded me. For years now, I have come across thousands of blogs ranging from insightful to delightful, general to specific, and mind blowing to mind numbing.

As the son of a writer and a teacher, one would assume that this medium is a perfect fit for me. It is an avenue for sharing ideas, something inherent in my parents’ professions and a constant occurrence in our home. However, this has not shown to be the case … It’s 2015, decades into the internet age and I am typing the first blog post of my life. Why is this?

Born in 1988, I am also in that small group of Generation Y perfectly positioned for the Internet Age. Those born between (roughly) 1985 and 1990 were old enough to have gone through the necessary, interpersonal development that is only gained through human interaction [before the internet age]. But, at the same time, were still young enough [when the internet age started] to mature with the cyber boom.

We entered the world in a small window of time that allowed us to be both old- and new-school.
