life is what we make of it. there is no truer statement i believe. so much has happened in my life, so many downfalls, yet so many successes. i have realised that there is so much of life we can hate and reject. there are moments and introductions of people we can wish never occured. there are words we wish we could take back, and ones we wished we had said. and i hate to be cliche in my writing when i say that there is a high for every low and a to for every fro, because my life can easily stand as a testement to how that is not true for every individual. control is however.
we have so much control over our lives, we have no idea. the start of this blog is that piece of control for me. now one might ask why it is that people start up blogs. some may see it as an attention seeking forum where people can appear to be what they want and are to afraid to show beyond the comfort of their keyboards. some may even think of it as a means of boredom, procrastination and an escape from more productive things they know they should be doing. for me however, it is none of the above.
i am not concerned by who follows my blog. i am not going to be one of those girls that posts the link to their twitter, facebook or myspace pages in hopes of receiving large numbers of followers. no, my blog is for me. a place where i can document my thoughts and events so i can look back on them whenever i wish to. and if what is written within these posts happens to inspire others, then i am all the more happy for being able to do that.
this is a start of something new (with no intention of sounding like a cliche teen musical film). i am excited. there is so much in my life i look forward to sharing and documenting.
so here is to the power and control over our own happiness. the ability to make ourselves smile :) <3>
