I've given you a little about myself and the name of my blog , but I never clarified why I was blogging in the first place or what blogging means to me. *Plays the violin* Every since I was in the 3rd grade I've had a strong passion (and talent of course) in writing. From poetry to essays and etc etc . For awhile I thought I wanted to become a writer. My favorite show growing up was Sex and the City and I ABSOLUTELY loved Carrie Underwood , the New York Times Journalist that blogged every night about her life . Up until I was a sophomore in high school I wanted to mirror her life. I just knew I was going to graduate high school, move to New York where my one bedroom studio apartment awaited me and earn a seat at the editor's table of the New York Times and from there on have a column of my own. ADVICE #1 , LIFE ALWAYS HAS IT'S OWN AGENDA FOR YOU , NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND lol. By the time I graduated High School I had new aspirations and dreams and writing was more of a task and not something I enjoyed doing.
So I thought to myself , what is a way that I can write and not feel like it's an obligation? A way that I can get joy out of doing something I'm so damn good at? ... *waits for answer* .. DING DING ! . You got it , BLOGGING. I can be myself and not have to worry about someone coming in and butchering what I call a master piece.
