It's been three years. Three long years since I embarked on this blogging adventure. A lot has changed in that time. I've felt a lot of emotions. Many of them have prevented me from writing the way I wanted to. I set out to find my writing voice and I have. I know exactly what I want to portray here. I just want to write my truth. That's what my blog allows me to do. When things are great and happy, I blog. When things aren's so great and less than happy, I blog. It's a form of therapy for me. I need to write. It helps me. And, hopefully, it helps someon reading this blog. Three years of pouring my heart out here and I couldn't be more prouder of myself. My life may not be exactly what I thought it would be right now but my blog is. This is my writing baby. It puts a smile on my heart everytime I read my work. I am thankful for this space, especailly this year. Thank you for reading my work.
Two years!! Wow!! I am so excited about this. Today marks the second birthday of my blog. I have poured my heart and soul into my words here. It has not always been easy but it has always been worth it. I have posted over 600 blogs on various topics. All of them meant something to me. All of them made me feel something. This blog has helped me through a few rough patches in my life. It has been my salvation in a way. I can only imagine what I will write about next. I just know that I will do it here on my little piece of the world wide web. Writing has been my passion since I was in the 4th grade. Being able to create in such a way as this has given me happiness I cannot even describe.
Every day, so far, this year I have been able to stick to my daily blogging goal. Hell, there were even some days that I posted two blogs a day. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I think that personal blogs are much harder to maintain than entertainment/gossip blogs. I write about music, poetry, literature, politics, television amongst other things. Then, there is the overwhelming helping of my own life that I lay bare here. I am so appreciative for all of the people who have visited my blog, read my stories, and commented. You make this worthwhile for me. Knowing that someone, some where, is reading my words makes my soul happy. I will forever chase that feeling. So, happy birthday to me and my blog!! See you next year as we turn three!!
It's my Blogaversay! One year ago, I decided to find an outlet for my writing. That is how this blog was born. I felt that I had something the world wide web should hear. My blog has been, for the most part, my solace. It's where I come to work out things, rant about things, wax philosophically and poetically about my opinions. It's helped me through some rough patches. I love how freeing the written word can be. I am a writer. It is the one consistent aspect of my entire life. Writing frees me. It gives me life and hope.
At the beginning of the 2011, I pledged to blog every day. For the first six months, I was able to blog almost every day. That made me proud. Unfortunately, since June, I've been slacking. I feel really bad about that. But, my head hasn't been in the best place lately. I'm just not motivated to blog. There is something preventing me from creating. I'm trying to work through this intense writers block. I hope to be back to my normal blogging self.
Looking back, I can remember the exact space I was in when I wrote and posted each piece. I have laughed so much at myself this past year. My own words give me insight into myself. This blog has gifted me with that. Before, I could only get that level of deep insight from my poetry. I found myself uninspired to write for a while. Starting my blog forced me to be my true self. I love that about it. I plan to write more in the coming weeks. I'm sure I will get political in tone soon because of the state of things. I'm just really proud of myself for sticking to this. I'm also grateful for all who visit my blog. You are appreciated. I'm looking forward to my 2nd year Blogaversay!!! Stay tuned and keep reading. All comments are welcomed!
P.S. - I will take any opportunity to post this classic Tony Toni Tone' track. I love it still.
I also made a minor changes. My web address has changed from "lovemsk.blogspot.com" to "inbtweenthoughts.blogspot.com." So, now my blog title and web addy match.
