Why??

I have become inspired to blog is because I have a gazillion things going on in my head all day long. I have always thought too much. Over analyzed. I am a daydreamer. My imagination is wild and the possibilities are endless...I get easily excited about new ideas, very sentimental about memories and people, and it makes me want to SAVE EVERYTHING...Like a thought pack rat. By "saving" I mean "storing", and so storing for me now means blogging. Photos of my mind if you will ;)

I have always kept a journal, for as long as I can remember. It has been my therapy.My release. It is my free expression. But as I get older and continue to change and evolve with the times, blogging seems to be the right way to capture moments almost as they happen. It is a much more immediate outlet than my journal, for example, since often when I sit to write, soooooo much has happened, so many thoughts have been piled on top of other thoughts, that something always gets missed... Not to mention that blogging is already helping me practise writing...one tiny step closer to achieving my dream of being a writer. With actual readers. Not just me re-reading my diary ;)

Also important is that so many of you, my friends and family and strangers that I may never meet, live all over the planet! Although we have Facebook, and email, etc., this somehow makes me feel more connected, since I am here only if you want it, and not here if you don't = no pressure :) But here, honestly and openly and trying to spread positive energy...

It has already helped me feel like I now have no excuse not to leave my stamp; to do what I can to make the world an always better place to be. I feel in love with life and like this blog is my new lifeline to the rest of the world. A way to share great moments; provoke thought; inspire...motivate... To track my success and prove (if only to myself) that anyone can do whatever they want, as long as they believe in themselves...

Sometimes I may blog just to vent. It is my new amazing creative outlet. An outlet I have searched for for ages, and never was sure which way to go.

So, this is my blog.
Since life IS what YOU make it after all.
As I follow my dreams and make my life the best life it can be, hopefully if you're reading, I may help you make your best life a reality as well.
You never know... Strange things happen. And dreams come true everyday.

Think. Try. Dream big. Live hard. Love lots.
Peace,

JF
