Starting a blog

Why did I decide to start a blog? I’ve struggled with how others would judge me for starting a blog in 2019 amongst mega social media influencers and bloggers. For me, the words “blog” or “blogger” conjure up an image of perfectly posed models and sponsored content and taking the same “iconic” photos in the same places. I’ve had this URL for over 2 years and the fear of judgment has held me back from starting to write about my experiences and my travels.

I started writing as a form of reflection and as an emotional release through the encouragement of my therapist. Then I started sharing some of the things I wrote on social media. I’ve found that writing my thoughts down is really cathartic for me and that sharing my vulnerability through my thoughts and experiences has resulted in tons of positive responses and comments that really make me feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders.

So I’ve finally decided to create a place where I can share my thoughts, my struggles, my adventures, and just a piece of myself.

Hope that I might share a bit of my inspiration with you.
