my Odyssey

I've been examining my blog lately and I think i'm missing a big part of myself in it. I genuinely love the things I post but I feel like there's a lot of my human personality that I want to express and share more of. I recently connected with the word Odyssey (a long series of wanderings or adventures, esp. when filled with notable experiences, hardships, etc.) in relation to my upcoming adventure but even more so, as a definition for my life so far. I'm on an Odyssey. While examining my recent discontentment with my blog, I thought about what I'd like to read (i think everyone's personal blog should be one that they'd want to read). I pictured what I take out at my public library: how-to books, design and beautiful photo books AND autobiographies. I've only been writing my blog with part of what I want to read... I'm missing my autobiography. I haven't always been this girl... positive, sunny, and optimistic & confident in all the situations life gives me. I used to be the opposite and I let my surroundings mold me and who I was becoming since early childhood. Here on my blog, I'm going to share my story and the way my life has developed to bring me to the woman I am today. I'm not sure how long it will take but I will tell it with words more than photos and in pieces... I'm going to be candid, brave and authentic. I think everyone has a beautiful story to tell, and I'm honored to tell you mine. No matter how sad some parts are, remember it's got a happy ending. Promise :)
