The Art of Losing Myself

A little while ago, a friend of mine suggested I start blogging. I think she likes my perspective on things, and she likes my humor. A lot of people do. But I didn't really know what to write about. So, while I liked the idea, I hesitated on it for a long time. I wanted to be original. I wanted to say something nobody else said. I was also not convinced my non-funny moments were as awesome as my funny ones. But I'm beginning not to care about that so much anymore. I tried blogging once a long time ago, and it got boring. But that's mainly because I let the drama creep in. So, yeah, none of that.

Instead, I'll just write what I want to write about. Could be my faith, could be running and my upcoming triathlon, could be music. Could be my numerous failed attempts at finding Mr. Right (not even close) or my more successful attempts at photography as a side job (just left one job in order to pursue another....) Could be quotes from some of my favorite people, which includes anyone from CS Lewis to Arcade Fire. It's whatever I want, whenever I want. Hopefully it's good.

I might not always be funny. I might not always have much to say. And I definitely won't divulge everything. I'm just going to be honest.

This is the goal of everything I try creatively:

Even in social life, you will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making. Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
--C.S. Lewis
