Recently, I've been feeling a bout of inspiration from reading blogs. It all started when this picture went viral on twitter (click here) and I immediately fell in love with it. I did a little bit of snooping around (read: stalking) and was able to find the gorgeous woman in the picture. Turns out, she has a blog (click here) and I immediately took it upon myself to read the entire thing from back to front.
Her blog is amazing and it really chronicled her life in a beautiful, artistic way. Is her life always the way it looks like in the pictures she posts? Probably not. However, it did make me fall in love with whole concept of blogging all over again, and I felt the need to try again.
Yes, I had a blog before, and as I was reading over its old posts, it brought back a ton of memories. It was a petty thing, filled with the latest gossip I couldn't divulge to anyone else and random freak out moments from my high school life, but still. It was sweet to look over it and feel in touch with my younger (albeit only by a couple of months) self.
As far as the direction of this blog, I'm hoping for something that will hopefully inspire me and others who happen to stumble upon it. Right now, I don't know where that idea will take me or if this blog will even continue past this post. Of course, I'm going to try to stick to it, but there's always the chance that it's going to go the way of my childhood diaries; a few passionate entries followed by nothing.
Another one of my goals is to engage my design side with this blog. I don't really get to utilize the meager design skills that I have and this might just be the perfect avenue for it :).
I'm excited and hopefully, so are you. Have a fantastic week!
