As a child I would receive diaries for Christmas. I would always start to write in them but never make it past January. I don't even have any of them anymore. My mom always said that I should keep a diary because it would document a time in my life that I would want to remember as I got older.
Many years later, here I sit with no documentation of my past (not in diary form anyway). I'm okay with that though. I have lots of good memories of my childhood, not to mention pictures that can act as my documentation. I think I communicate through photos better than words anyway. It sounds like a cop-out but it's true.
So why start a blog you ask? Well, several reasons really.
1. It will be a good exercise in self discipline.
2. My friend Becca has just left for Albania and I'll be on here reading her blogs. Now, if she is so compelled she can read mine as well. (somehow I think her blog will be more interesting than mine, just a hunch ;)
3. I travel a bit and meet all kinds of fabulously interesting people. Now I can write about my adventures and all the great people.
4. I'm looking forward to sharing some of my photos!
Well there you go, that's my motivation. I hope to be posting on here for longer than just a few months. I think I can do it. There's self-discipline in here somewhere.
