What's in a name...

By this I'm referring to the title of my blog.  I sat at this computer for a very long time last night trying to figure out what a good blog title would be.  I didn't want anything that is common or something that wasn't really thought through.  I guess it wouldn't really matter because I could probably just change it if I though of a better one.  Anyway, I thought of one that, I think, fits pretty well.  When I first chose the name it was because, hopefully, someday there will be lots of people reading my blog.  Hence they probably wouldn't know me.  In which case I'm a stranger to them.  Duh, I'm sure you figured that out already.  Then as time passed I began to think on it more, and a thought came to mind.  I don't know how many people ever feel this way, but I do sometimes.  I feel like a stranger to myself in a way. There are times when I do something and I can't believe I did that.  Also, there are always those certain things everyone says they would never do.  Well of course I do sometimes, and I'm sure many of you do too.  You just never know until you're in a certain situation what you will or won't do.  Afterwards you may be surprised, and yep, feel like a stranger to yourself. It happens, and it's no big deal.  Well maybe it is.  I guess that would depend on the situation.  Sometimes I look at my life and can't believe this is what I have.  It's crazy, sometimes, to think that I've been married for 6 1/2 years and have two kids.  Another meaning that came to me is that I'm only 25, and I'm still figuring out who I am.  I don't fully know who I am, and maybe who I even want to be.  It's actually kind of hard to explain the meaning of the title in words.  When I said it in my head it came out smoother, and it made more sense.  Now when I read back it doesn't sound as good, but that's like sometimes.  Right?
