I always thought blogging was silly. Who ever has that much to say about anything that they would write about some random subject every single day? And more importantly, who in their right mind would continuously read about some random stranger's daily musings, who has the time? Unless it was just hilariously funny, or this person was some deep philosopher handing out answers to the great questions of life. There are enough reality television shows that I stalk, I thought, I don't need to follow the stories of anyone else that I do not know personally, real or fictional.
My, how I've changed my views. The older I get, the more I appreciate randomness. Tidbits that I catch here and there that give me ideas, show me another point of view, inspire me to make my world beautiful. I think the inspiration is the most important part of it all. How selfish is that to think that I could not benefit from someone else's experiences. And how demeaning to think someone could not learn from mine. Being too much of a realist and pessimist has always been one of my downfalls, especially anything new or trendy that is catching on with the general public. I'll dismiss some skinny jeans in a second solely because they're popular. (Well, they really don't do my body any justice though).
Anyway, enough of my rambling. I like this site because it feeds my craving to make every area of my life reflect who I really am. Also, as a musician, I'm striving to be a better writer because I know that is essential to my developing my creative process. So my goal is to ultimately post my music on this site for feedback, network with other sisters that are creating their visions, and to write about my experiences, not hoping someone will read every single word, but hoping someone catches one word or one phrase that is familiar to something in their soul and makes them feel kinship with at least one person, or that pushes them to do something that will bring them closer to the person they want to become (That was a run-on sentence if I ever wrote one.) It's happened for me numerous times and most of the time, I enjoy the process.
Looking Forward...
Looking forward to reading your lyrics that you will share! What type of music do you do?
I totally felt the same way about blogging too. I really admire the bloggers who make their blog so personal and reflective of their deep down opinions. I think blogging can be a great tool to help with so many different areas in life...I guess its basically just a "live" online journal, only you can get fabulous and critical feedback! Take care and loking forward to reading more!
