Hi. Miss Me?

Hi friends.

Sorry it’s been so long since I've last posted. I have no real excuse. I just haven't been motivated to keep up with the blog. I got scared that this was a stupid or lame idea and if any one found out it was me they might think I was weird or something. I don't know why I let that get in the way of blogging. I’ve never really been the type of person who cared what others thought of them. Growing up, I’ve always felt a bit out of place, like I didn't quite fit in and that was okay, it didn't bother me. I like being different, I like being me. So here I am. Strange, weird, different, wonderful me, back at the game of blogging. 

Truthfully, I don't know what I want to achieve from writing this blog. I might just use it as a virtual diary for my thoughts and struggles, or I might start posting fun, creative content. Or maybe even both. I don't want this to be another one of the same run of the mill blogs out there (totally not dissing those, anyone who runs one of those is an amazing and extremely talented person and I applaud them, obviously I can’t do the same). I want to do something different. I want to share my life with you, but not just the pretty bits, not just the fun, carefree parts of my life. I want you to see it all. We are all going through something. We are all fighting an inward battle. Some people could be having a tough time in school, making friends, studying, choosing a career path, others may be going through relationship turmoil, or family struggles. Whatever the universe is throwing at you, whatever things plague your mind, you are not alone. This life is hard, much harder than we were ever told it was going to be. But life is also beautiful. 

Ever since I was young and we would drive across country to visit family out west, I was always drawn to the pieces of land that were touch by the wild fires. Though the wild fires were destructive and devastating, the ability for life to grow from the ashes of the burnt wilderness always amazed me. It was like a real life phoenix. To see the smallest green sprout popping out of the charred ground, showed hope of beautiful things to come after such a terrible disaster. This post may be all over the place but please remember that no matter how severe the fire, flood, or tornado the universe throws at us there is always, always a beautiful life to follow. And thats the wonderful cycle of life. How boring would life be if it was all sunshine and rainbows— actually that kinda sounds nice… but you know what I mean. We need the bad times to make us appreciate the good times. That’s what I want this blog to be. Even if no one reads it, even if it’s just me typing out long-winded, rambling thoughts late at night when I can’t sleep. I want it to be out there. 

Let me know in the comments what you think. I want to get to know you. We are all in this together.
