So, I've finally gotten around to creating a blog. I had been intending to make one before coming to the States to document my USA exchange and travels, but ironically America and UVA Law School got in the way. But no more excuses.
Actually, the incident that gave me the real motivation to start up this blog happened about a week ago. I was hanging out with the girls from the Law Christian Fellowship Monday Night Ladies' Bible Study Group at my uninspired Copeley flat, and we were talking about how to cultivate happiness and meaning in our lives on a daily basis. My wise and wonderful friend Holly Vradenburgh shared that she keeps a record of all the things that she comes across that enrich her life, to periodically reflect on and grow from. Quotes from movies, things from daily conversations, stuff online, passages from books, poetry, song lyrics, et cetera. As I was listening, I had a mepiphany (mini epiphany): I should keep a record of all the things that I come across that enrich my life - via a blog! So here we are.
This blog is going to be a collection of pure awesomeness. Things that make me laugh, think, smile and cry; things that move me. Coupled with the things I get up to and the things that find themselves in my head: I have experiences, I have thoughts, and I wish to share them with people who care. Basically, things that make my life brighter. The idea is that as this blog expands, it will serve to be an archive of all this wonderful stuff that I can return to and continuously learn from and/or find joy in. And hopefully it will make your life a little bit brighter too.
I'm pumped about this.
