inception.

I have this really bad habit of starting things and never finishing them. Blogs would be one of those things. But a friend of mine told me that I should just start writing and don’t look back. That the stars are aligned in my favor if I just write. So here I am.

For the longest time, I thought it was in my nature to be a giver. I love caring for others and making sure others are happy, and so all my life, I just gave. But at some point, I realized that I am as much a consumer as I am a giver. I am a sucker for good stories. Tell me a good one, and I eat it right up. I binge listen to music that reach into the depths of my heart…or just make my body move. Beautiful things inspire me, and I have a propensity to collect them–in my drawers, in my photos, in my memory. I love to travel and take in sights, sounds, aromas. And let’s not even talk about food, because my consumption levels are astronomical…dare I say, gastronomical?

I guess I ramble on to say this: I am a lover of life and I enjoy giving and receiving the best from it. So this blog is both an acknowledgment of myself–the good and the bad, and a means for me to share some things that I enjoy. So that you might enjoy them too.

I’ve been in a pretty low place lately. Just the satisfaction in my life is not quite where I’d like it to be. And I’ve been trying to pull myself back up, but I have to admit it’s been hard. But today, Spotify shuffled me onto this song, and it kinda just hit me.

yes, you got to be strong. and be all the best you can. the world is out there, conquer your fears, and don’t you wait too long.

Sizzla always speaks the truth.

And that’s what speaks to me, my friends.
