Have you ever
thought to yourself: "I should start a blog!"
Me too.
And so I started
one, then another, and now another.
My first blog had no
posts, no followers - I created it then felt paralyzed by the sheer
possibilities. The weight of the emptiness was too much for me, so I didn't
act. I didn't write. My second blog was less about words and more about images-
I took pictures of my art and posted it, curious to see if it would generate
any interest (it did not). Again I found myself with very little posts and even
fewer followers. This whole blog thing was a mystery to me! And so I emptied it
yet again, leaving a clean space for whenever I decided to make a third
attempt.
And that brings us
to present day, and my third (and let's hope final) attempt at this whole blog
thing. You may ask, "What changed?" After all, I've already had two
unsuccessful attempts at being a blogger. And aside from those two actual attempts
where many more ideas that never even made it to the web. I'll tell you what
changed; I decided I needed to write about a subject which I already talk
about. I know that sounds simple, but all my other ideas I was striving to talk
about a subject which I didn't currently talk about in my daily life. Don't get
me wrong, I've thought about blogging about a lot of things that I love, like
art, fashion, books, or finding good deals, but those are not subjects I talk
about on a daily basis. Starting a blog to talk about things that I didn't
already talk about all the time felt like an uphill battle. I think a blog is
a place to find yourself, be yourself, maybe even challenge yourself. But not a
place to change yourself. So I've decided to be who I am, and write what I
know. So, with that, welcome. I hope you enjoy my novice expertise displayed on
these pages.
