Too long - dear blog, too long

I've never been one for consistency when it comes to a personal journal, blog, etc. But I was reminded recently by someone very close to me how much writing can lift my spirits, clarify my thoughts, and motivate me for action. so here I am!

I'm awake late at night (surprise) and feeling quite introspective. I'm thinking about blogging, which may seem silly but I truly find it quite daunting. I find myself wondering whether I have what it takes to meet and exceed my own expectations for myself as an author, an online presence. When I read many of my favorite blogs from individuals I know and admire, I wonder: "can I have that effect on someone?". I'm impressed by their earnest sincerity, their wit, the time they devote, and by the way their personality shines so blatantly through their words and everyday experiences, conveying a deeply touching message of inspiration and individuality. Another thought: do I have the time? Can I MAKE the time? I hope so.

In closing, a quote I just found on a blog known as themormonchildbride :

"We are all worms. But I do believe I am a glow-worm." Winston Churchill

I concur.

What's in my head

I want to write. I want to read. I want a new camera, a studio, lighting equipment. the list is endless, but what do i need? i don't even know where to begin. I need to help others. To be honest, I've probably never experienced true need..... and so I misinterpret desire for necessity. I'm trying to consolidate. I'm also trying to indulge in those desires that can make me happy without being unwise or selfish choices.
