Welcome to the story of my life.

So here it goes. My first post. 

I'm going to start off with something a little personal, and let you know my incentives for becoming a blogger.

I truly want this to turn into a family for me, my own exclusive environment for those who want to read, listen, and understand. I don't want it to be a place where anyone is left out--anyone can be a part of it, yet only those who have a true interest will join this environment. To me, that's beauty.

So that's my disclaimer, and I'm not sure if those beginning sentences just made me sound weird, cool, normal, or insane, but I do know that I hate first impressions-- I believe they are inaccurate and people who are judging you in the first place don't deserve your time.  I don't really care about what people think about me, but yet on the other hand I do, because I know that the only way to truly survive our society is realize that society doesn't always work the way we want it to. We can work hard to change it, but in the meanwhile, we're victims, and we have to give into it sometimes.

I think it's time we all start giving each other a few more chances, because not everyone is the same. You might be surprised how many amazing people you've left behind throughout your life just because of judgmental moments. I too, am victim of doing so and of having this being done to, as I'm often afraid to show my true colors. That might make me sound like the shyest person ever, but in truth, I'm the most outgoing person you'll ever meet. I often hide who I am around people because I feel like they don't get it, but I'm sick of doing that. Is it too late to have a total change in personality?

Well, with my new blogger family, I promise, I'm going to be myself. As dramatic as it sounds, I think that if I let it, this blog will change everything.

Here's to amazement,
