Now, I am not entirely sure what got me into blogging, to tell you the honest truth. Whether it was the idea of writing about things on a regular basis, being able to communicate with others, or whether it had been something as simple as liking the idea after watching the romantic-comedy film, The Perfect Man (Rosman, 2005) over and over with my sisters when I was young. Watching how Hilary Duff’s character, Holly Hamilton, typed away on her laptop from a windowsill at her apartment – from every house she had ever called home throughout her youth. It is a very good film, I must say. If you haven’t watched it already, I would definitely give it a watch one day! It is currently on Netflix, I believe. Anyhow, I had always found either way, that I wanted to write about the things I had experienced and about the things I found myself passionate about. After all, they do say to write about what you know, don’t they?
Over the last few years though, I have found myself become one with my thoughts. Mostly trying to piece together or process a situation that had occurred, that had left me baffled or hurt in some way – and I admit, sometimes somethings were a little too much to bare. Now, I find myself in a place where the voices want to be heard, with the need to get these stories told. It is why I aim to share my advice and words of wisdom, if I can, with you. With the belief you may be able to help yourself or someone you love, who may be dealing with something similar to the tales I will tell. Maybe then, you or your loved one may find the peace you need with your own dilemma or inner demon.
For me personally, I believe blogging can give someone a chance to shine, a chance to share their wisdom, or – like with myself – to be a platform for the many tales they feel the need to share. And whilst I take to the world of blogging, I – like the many before me – am trying to live the best version of myself I can, in a constantly evolving world. I am hoping this will be the platform I need to allow me to free my voice.
Thank you for taking the time to read this ♡

OUR JOURNEY IN CHAPTERS 
I love the fact that blogging can free someone’s mind so easily, yet still maintain a mysterious halo on their life. Just share what you feel like it’s okay to share, and keep the rest to yourself. Bliss!

Oh, bless you. I can understand that. I’m currently trying to keep this as a hobby for the time being, I’ve had too much going on outside it. I think it is just a good place to write your thoughts down ^_^
