Hello everybody :]
Obviously, you have noticed that this is my first blog post on here. Well, this is also my first blog post ever! I have decided to blog. To be a blogger. Now, for my reasoning. I realize as I get older (I am now 21) that life goes by too fast. I know that I am still very young, but I don't want to find myself sitting in a chair when I'm in my 80's thinking, "Where did my life go?" or even worse, "Why do I have nothing interesting about myself to tell my kids?" I want to have stories, to have tales to tell. When my children/grandchildren ask for a story, I want to be able to tell them one of mine. I want to amaze them with truth and honesty. And I want to encourage them to make their own stories. Good stories. Crazy stories. Fun stories. Unusual stories. Memories. And more memories. I want to document my life so that I never forget. So that my kids will be able to know me as best as they can. So THEY never forget. I want to be a role model to my loved ones. I want to be someone they can look up to. I want to be the one to tell them, "It's okay to be different. It's okay to let yourself shine. It's okay to be unusual and to make unusual memories." Those are the best kind, anyway. So what if your life story is not like everybody else's? So what if MY life story is not like everybody else's? I don't want to be like everybody else. Where is the fun in that? I want to tell them stories they have never heard before. Times that made me laugh. That made me cry. That taught me a lesson. Sorry, I am rambling. Back to the point: Why am I doing this? So that I can remember. So that I can pass my stories on.
