About This Blog
Hi! My name is Mel, and I’m a nineteen year old college student and aspiring travel writer. I’ve been wanting to start a blog for a while, but kept putting it off because I wanted to wait until I was rich and successful. I figured that once I was famous, the events in my life might seem more ‘significant’ than they do now. After I thought about it more, I decided to start documenting everything now - for three reasons:
My main purposes are self expression, seeing the world, and connecting with others. I am passionate about creating a space to share all of that and I hope seeing life through my eyes can help you fall in love with yours - even the things that seem mundane - a little more.
At the very least, maybe writing about the good, the bad, and the embarrassing will entertain someone.
- Sometimes the events in life that don’t seem important at the time are the ones that end up really counting (think of the small milestones that ultimately carry a lot of weight, like getting your first pet or graduating school).
- I want to be able to look back at memories I might not remember if they weren’t written down.
- Not to sound too fatalistic, but I’ll never know how much time I have left. I would rather make the most of my time while I have it - and for me, that includes writing about my life.
