Beautiful Soul

ew.

I began this blog a few years ago as a way to improve my writing. This suggestion was given to me by my older brother. It has been months, if not a year since I have even visited this poor, neglected blog. It's almost painful to return to this blog because i cringe as I read each post. Each post seems more affected and ridiculous than the one before.
It seems I was compelled to write about lofty topics that would appeal to the masses. What masses?

So why restart such a tired project?
This same brother sent me a link to the blog of another college student that chronicled her journey through college. She just sat and wrote about her life, her thoughts, and the ways all of it was changing her. She didn't try to sound intelligent, ambitious, or even sure of herself. She just wrote.
I could kick myself for not writing a blog for the past few years. My semester abroad was prime blogging territory. However, the chance is gone. I'm not going to blog about the past.
So, if I decide to write again, I only want to write as myself, not some crazy version of me.
If, if, if, if...
