I'm not even going to talk about how bad I am at blogging. I start to blog consistently, then I realize half the time I'm not saying the cool and profound things I want to be saying, and the other half of the time the things I am saying aren't nearly as cool and profound as I think they are. Then I try to sound cooler and more intelligent and wittier and I end up sounding like a trying-to-be-trendy-and-hipster-wannabe. Like I read one too many Shauna Niequist and Donald Miller books and now think I need to write just like them, but I can't.
I should just write like me.
Actually, I shouldn't write like me. I should just be me.
By being me, my blog will be a product of me. I won't be trying to make it more than it is, because I won't be trying to be something I'm not. It will be an extension of myself. My genuine thoughts, which some of the time really are cool and profound.
So here we go. Again. Really, again again. I've tried this before, and it never lasts. So, instead of trying to make it last and become something really incredible, I'm going to let it be what it is. I'm going to be me, and part of being me is writing when I need to. But it's also taking pictures if I need, or drawing, or dancing, or not creating at all. I'll do what I do and that'll be enough.
Except, while I'm being me, I am going to try and push myself out of my comfort zones. That may be through more vulnerable posts, or through poetry, or video...I want to push my creativity to a new level. Actually, I just want to bring it back to what it once was, and then push it past there. Starting with writing.
Adventure is out there, and I can't wait to create and be inspired by it.
