Well, hello there! — Colorfull Bloom
Hi!!! Ahh!!!! Freaking out a bit, because this is my first post and I’m so, so suuuper excited!!!! I get excited very easily about things. Can you tell from the amount of exclamation marks I’ve used so far??!!?!! My husband makes fun of me because when we’re driving and I see new construction going up and I know it’s some sort of food place, I always point and go, “OoOooO, Look! I wonder what that’s gonna be!!!” See what I mean? Maybe it’s just cause I’m greedy and like to eat.
Anyway! As far as first posts go, I’m not exactly sure where to begin. I could start off easy with something about football season starting up (Go Cowboys) or PSL being available, but honestly I don’t really think most of my posts will be like that. I mean, I’ll blog about some fun stuff from time to time cause sometimes I can be too serious and I don’t want people feeling heavy or discouraged after visiting me “here”. I want this to be a place where you feel connected (as much as you can through a blog) and can say to yourself, “Wow, I’m not the only one.” It’s also an opportunity where I can just get my thoughts out there and not feel dismissed. Because to most of my family + friends I’m known as the light-hearted one who isn’t too serious most of the time, which is true. But there’s also a side of me that is very contemplative and when that’s not what you’re “known as” and you try and share that side of you, sometimes it’s just not received very well. Or taken very seriously. Can anyone relate to that? So knowing you’re here on purpose, I feel like I can really let that part of me out. And that feels really good! At the same time, I know I can’t appeal to everyone so I’m just gonna write truthfully about my reality and what my heart is leading me to do and hope it’s relatable and encouraging! That’s the stuff I’d wanna read about, anyway. Because “in the age of social media” (ugh, I hate that phrase…) the thing we need most is realness and truth. That’s what everyone is looking for anyway, right?
P.S. As a graphic designer it KILLS me not to have this site ready from a design perspective, but I just couldn’t wait anymore to figure that part out. I was ready to say hi now, dangit! So forgive me, but hopefully my page will get it’s swag on sooner than later.
