i've been thinking for hours about what i would write in my first blog post, what i wanted my blog to look like and what i felt my goal was for creating this.
well, i'll tell you...
first blog post : read below
appearance of blog : simple, chic, easy on the eyes
goal for creation of blog : outlet for my grey reveries.
when i was sharing the title i was going to give my blog, my friend asked for a warranted explanation. i feel that i owe you all the same respect.
grey = favorite color, mood i seem to be in lately, the area between black and white, lovely name i would love to give to a baby
reverie = when i "googled" the word reverie, it gave me 2 definitions: 1) a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream: "I slipped into reverie" and 2) an instrumental piece suggesting a dreamy or musing state.
so here it is..grey.reverie.
recently, some friends and i were reflecting on the days of "xanga." we went so far as to look up our old sites and reminisce make fun of our teenage selves. the things we wrote about were humorous to us now, but i remember that at the time...they were real problems, dramas and things we never thought we would get through.
as a seventeen year old junior in high school, xanga was an outlet. yes, it was the "cool" thing to do and it was incredibly entertaining to spend hours reading posts of others. it was where i spilled my guts over those ridiculous break ups. it was the place i allowed self pity to get the best of me. it was the time i wrote about how everything in life seemed to be going wrong. it was the place i filled out those silly surveys about myself. it was where i proclaimed my love for the bass guitar-playing-boy i fell in love with senior year of high school.
now, we blog. not a day goes by that i don't hear someone somewhere say, "i read about '___________' on this blog the other day." blogging is OUR outlet today.
blogging will be MY outlet today.
