Thank You Musi

It's a few minutes past midnight, and all I'm doing is customizing my first real blog while waiting for a YouTube video to load. Lame, isn't it?

It may seem that way, but I like it. The silence of the midnight hour and the patience required to wait for my unreasonably poor Internet connection to load the latest video from my favorite channel makes everything worth it when it's all ready! Most of the time, at least. At this time of night–or is it day?–it's far easier to be patient and wait for something to happen. After all, if I wait too long, I'll just fall asleep, and what better time is there to accidentally crash?

Regardless of all that nonsense, I really should mention that I owe the creation of this blog to an idea formed in my head years ago. I wanted to do something to keep my writing logged, but I guess I was always too worried about it all being online for anyone to see. At this point, I don't even care about that anymore. It's all a means of expression, and my pursuance of art has given me the courage and understanding that privacy is not always the best thing when it comes to certain ideas. However, despite harboring the concept of this little place, I never made it. I blame just being lazy and afraid.

A while ago, at least a year, or maybe two, a dear friend of mine created a blog for herself for similar reasons. It's a beautiful blog filled with lovely writing and inspiration, as well as a good sense of who she is as a person. (Take a peek here.) I've been reading her blog for a while, and lately she's become even more active! I love her work, and I love that her writing is such a dream-like hobby of hers. The whole inspiration thing sprung the idea of making my own blog back to the front of my mind.

The past few days I've been mulling over whether or not to go through with it. I finally bit the bullet and did. Obviously. Here I stand (actually, I'm laying on the floor lol), ready to craft this simple little place into my own little island. No borders. No laws. No restrictions whatsoever. Whatever I create and post here will be straight from the mind, or the heart. This will be my zone of release outside of my world of art and music.

I love to write, and starting now, I want to challenge myself to write a little something everyday. Whether it's some little poem, my favorite quote, some song lyrics, something that inspires me, a summary of day, my latest artistic process, anything! I need to get back into the habit of writing. The more I do so, the better I will become.

I look forward to it, and should I happen to gain a few followers in the process, then I hope that they may look forward to it, too!
