Putting Inspiration into Action

Here it is.

I've been here before. This platform is familiar. Must be because I had a blog once, maybe even twice. It was nice but writing and I had taken a little break. Between Facebook, Instagram (never been big fan of Twitter), writing a blog just seemed useless, as if writing paragraphs instead of a short few lines seemed long and boring.

But, I very recently came across a writer. She's young, fearless (or so it seems) and her writing style is impeccable. Her passion for writing is out of this world. Its her choice of artistic expression. And well, it reminded me of a younger Jess. The Jess who was always looking forward to her French class because she knew she was going to learn and therefore improve her writing skills. I loved creating short stories/ poems, etc.

Here I am, eating a few (okay maybe more than a few) spoons of Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream starting a new blog. I've missed this. I've missed being able to reflect and try to align a few of my thoughts. Aside from actually being able to write a sentence, I love not having to worry about what I should or shouldn't say. I love letting my mind free to think whatever it wishes to think and to, then, let my fingers translate those thoughts into words.

I've heard many times that the things we love to do as a child will always be a part of us. I remember escaping away with my journals, sometimes in a forth I would have made out of blankets, or away in my backyard beside a tree somewhere, just me, my journal and a pencil. I didn't feel judge, I didn't feel any pressure. All I felt was peace... peace of mind. As much as that peace is important as you're growing up, I'm realizing just how much its also important to me now as I'm sure it will also be in the future.

I want this blog to be my escape, my new peace of mind. It feels right.

If you're reading this it must be because its sparked some sort of interest within you. I'm happy you're here. Welcome. All I ask is that you keep an open mind as the thoughts/ ideas/ etc. will all be from me, coming from a place of respect, truth, and basically my soul.

Already thinking about my real first post...

Writing isn't dead.
