To be honest, I can't recall how many different blogs on how many different blogging platforms I have started and abandoned in the past. I've always liked writing, so naturally as soon as I found out what a "blog" was, I wanted to jump right in and start my own. So why did I quit, abandon or put my other blogs on indefinite hiatus? Because they felt like a chore.
Let me clarify that. I like writing. I find blogging enjoyable. However, in the past, I've always used a pretentious "voice" in my blogs. I was unwilling to be myself when I wrote, perhaps in fear that it wouldn't be entertaining enough. So my previous blogs weren't quite me; not quite my style. This made me feel like I was trying too hard. It became a drag, I got tired of it and I dropped it countless times.
Earlier this year, the thought of blogging came to mind again. I considered it. Toyed with the idea. Obsessed over it. Slept on it. Then, obsessed some more. I needed an outlet. I knew I wanted to write a blog, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to write about. So I thought about it some more--maybe a little too much. I wanted it to be organized and focused like other successful blogs. But the thing is, my brain doesn't work like that. I have the attention span of child. I pick up different hobbies every couple of weeks and find new interests everyday. And that's okay. It's simply how I am.
Now I have decided that's what this blog is going to be about: everyday musings, little (mis)adventures and whatever else makes everyday seem worthwhile.
So this is me, finally taking the plunge once again.
