Welcome

a brainstorm to figure out where I'm going with this

Welcome to the Diary.

This is spontaneous, I’m not sure what’s happening. Oops, maybe I should have a plan. But isn’t this the beauty of it: the spontaneity, the free-flowing thought, on paper as soon as it comes up in your brain? Yes, that’s it.

I decided to start a blog. I have this urge to write, to share, to document everything and that’s why I created this page. It feels fresh, a platform unexplored, one where I can be so myself but also whoever I want to be. So vulnerable yet anonymous. I’ll be honest with you, I’m lost, I truly do not have a plan for this. As a matter of fact, this blog/diary/journal/brain dump/call it whatever, has no name, at least no name I’m sure to keep. This is a new thing, for me, for you. A baby blog, one that will grow as I do, will flourish as my brain does, and will hopefully become a beautiful and inspiring thing.

There are no rules, everything is welcome. Pro bloggers are saying to find a niche, but isn’t that what I’m trying not to do? I don’t want to be confined to one thing, maybe I will find the space for me eventually but for now, this is a space of complete exploration, one that will grow into whatever it is meant to be.

Here’s a rough draft of what to expect for the Diary:

• The Diary is a diary, a catch all imperfect space for musings, entries, likes and dislikes, controversial ‘I can’t aver say this out loud’ takes, whatever goes through my mind

• thought flows, reflections

• discussions, if this space is public, it might as well have anyone reading participating, so feel free to comment and share your opinions

  To future readers, hi, welcome! I hope you will find peace and inspiration here, I hope my thoughts will wake up something in you, I hope we will be friends. Let’s be vulnerable so we can grow together. You’ll find me in your inbox a few times a week perhaps, and I’ll take you along on my journey.

For now, here’s to a new adventure!
