When I was in high school, through my church, we had a night where we could show off our talents. I would not consider myself very talented, but I did enjoy writing. I decided to write a poem and I worked really hard on it. After presenting it to a room full of young women and parents, a lady came up to me and told me what a wonderful piece of poetry I wrote and kept going on about how wonderful it was and how much it reminded her of when she was young. A normal person would take that compliment and say thank you. Well, I said thank but I did take the compliment well, because I did not like that lady; she was awful in my young teenage eyes. I did not want to be similar to her, so after that I decided to “give up writing”. I know, go ahead and shale you head, shame me, do whatever. It was a talent I had and I “gave it up” because I wanted to be rebellious.
Blogging is something I find fascinating, I love reading blogs and seeing what people are doing with their lives: cooking, reading, decorating, etc. It is like Netflix, but REAL. I understand a lot of time, people blog about happy things and so it seems like they all have it “figured out”. And of course it seems a majority of blogs are from married women/women in committed relationships, which I cannot relate to. However, I do not want that to hold me back. Sometimes I catch myself saying, “When I am married…”, “When I have kids…”, “When I have a career…” but I do not want to live in the future, I want to live now! I want to experience things now! And since I do not have a good record for journaling (I think that is a pun, ha). I want this blog to be able to record what I am doing, my thoughts, my feelings, my doings, and all from my point of view. I want to share my pearls with the world, whether it is my family, friends, or a complete stranger. With that, I hope you are able to find the pearls in your life as well!
