Beyond Good Intentions

It's 12:49 at night and I'm sitting in bed going back to my familiar phase of "I'm going to get into blogging." This isn't something new for me. I've had a very sporadic relationship with blogging in the past. For years, I've wanted to blog. Technically, I've had this one since 2009, but I have very few posts on it so far. I always start out with such good intentions about posting. Good intentions scare me though. You can have good intentions about something and that's great...but it doesn't get you anywhere in life. I really want to move past having good intentions with this blog and actually be intentional about posting.

I feel that if you truly have a strong desire to do something, you should listen to yourself! There's something in me that wants to blog. I love the way that each blogger customizes their blog in their own unique way. No two blogs are exactly alike, just like no two people are exactly alike. That's why blogging exists, isn't it? It's giving people a glimpse into your thoughts, your viewpoints. It's like a little window into someone's life. A celebration of who that person is and what they care about. How amazing is it that we live in a time where people can share these stories with one another? I can understand better about someone's life in Belgium after reading their blog (*cough*Cara*cough!) and visa versa. If everyone in the world wrote a sincere, heartfelt blog to help others hear their side of things, maybe the world would be a better place.

It seems to me a huge loss to live in the time of this crazy cool technology and not use it to share insight with others and gain insight from them. So, as I said, here I am, now at 1:02 am, on my computer writing this. My first post as a wannabe blogger!

Seriously though, even with all of its ups and downs and twists and turns, life is much too beautiful to let it go undocumented.

So here I am.
