on names

Names start out as just a title. Just something everyone calls you. But slowly and so quickly, they become you. 

I have always loved my name, but I left that behind when I started this blog. I became Terrie, mostly for safety reasons. But in a way, I became Terrie. At least online. I left comments and posted little bits of my life here, for the whole world to read. But it was in a strangely safe environment, because no one really knew it was me. Because I was Terrie.

Now, though, I'm changing. Merging the real me and the online me.

My real name is Tela. A name I love, and that is me.
