This blog was created as a challenge to and an escape for myself. A challenge to open up and explore myself and the world. Like most people I want to see the world and welcome new experiences with opens arms. But that would mean embracing a vulnerability that people yearn for- an outstanding of act of bravery that I have yet to muster up. And like most people, instead of putting myself out in the open, I get sucked into the never-ending, ever-deepening void of negativity that envelopes every corner of the internet. This blog will be my escape.

It is so easy to get wrapped up in the mind. Despite the immense interconnectedness that the internet offers, more people feel lonelier than ever; and I am no exception. But then I take it a step further. I start to overthink. I lose myself in an influx of thoughts. Every thought leads to another thought, more pervasive and louder than the last, which leads to an even bigger thought, more intricate and complex, and suddenly I find myself stuck within the confines of my own mind. But I want more. I want to grow; I want the world to paint a picture of many colors to counteract the singular hues of the pictures in my head. It is hard to navigate the tangled web of thoughts, feelings, and emotions but in this space, I will try. That is the purpose of this blog. To learn and grow and embrace the quiet lessons life teaches everyday and share them to the far-reaching corners of the internet. Hopefully my comfort zone will be a little bit wider, my mind a little bit bigger, and my soul a little bit richer.

Follow me on my journey with each post and hopefully you can learn something everyday, too.
