Why Did I Do This!?

"I guess I'm jumping on the blog bandwagon because my friends all seem to have successful blogs."
"Because why not have another outlet for my thoughts?"

These are the actual introductions that friends of mine have posted to their blogs. I don't know if that's how I come across, but let me clear up a few things right now: 


  • I got this blog because I thought I had a voice I could share - a voice that was positive and kind and unlike the voice I use normally in social media - and often in real life.
  • I used to keep a journal, but I found myself writing trivial things day to day, instead of noticing patterns of behavior, or recording the things that really make a difference to me. So instead, I decided to "keep records" that could actually make a difference to other people - including those who will come after me. 
  • I want people to get a sense of what's in my heart, instead of what's in my head. I can be as witty as I want, but that doesn't tell people what I really feel or think. So I use this as an outlet for that.
  • I know that only the people who really take an interest in what I think will seek me out enough to read my blog, which makes it the perfect place to write things that are more private and heartfelt.

I understand that as blogs once again gain popularity, I may seem like a joiner, but the point is, this is my journal- this is me writing down the things that make me who I am - the important things I want people to remember me by, the way I hope people can view me. This isn't about attention, this is about uplifting others and expressing a better, higher version of myself. If that's not something you want to read, then please don't waste your time on my account. Find something that makes you happy; I have, and this is it. 

Thanks for reading. I love you, and have an excellent day.
