Ties that Bind

I like reading all different sorts of blogs: food blogs, photography blogs, fashion blogs, journal blogs.  When a friend asked me what kind of blog I had, I didn't know which "category" mine fell into.  I'd like to say it's a mixture of everything, struggles I'm going through, travels of the day, random recipes and photographs, but yeah.  I don't know.  It's just me I guess.  And at the same time, it is an edited version of me.  By this I mean that with every website or social network, people post things that they want you to see.  Or at least, they omit the things they don't want you to see.  I need to work on that this year.  Being more real, being more consistent, in bigger ways than just this blog.

It's getting harder to write these days.  On one hand, I'm thinking more and more about expressing myself visually through my 365 project, and on the other, I'm finding myself short of the words that used to come more easily.  Sometimes it's hard to string them together, to get them out.  So...here is me trying to get the words out.  Here is my first "forced post."  Haha.

Motto: if you don't want to do it, sometimes you gotta force yourself to.
