Here’s to starting! I’ve dreamed, and planned and back tracked and started and stopped on writing this blog. On taking a chance on myself. On failing at it. On writing it, and sharing my talent and thoughts with the world. At long last, I’m starting, it’s here. In it’s most unedited, raw, and organic form, because that is me- unedited. A quote has come to my mind over the past couple of months as I went back and forth- “start now. Start where you are. Start with pain…” . It might belong to either Author Ashe, or Ijeoma Umebinyuow, I’m not sure, but thank you to both of them.

I have many goals for myself. My closest friends and family know- write a book, become an advertising/marketing exec, etc. Those are in my future, but I realized none will come to fruition if I don’t start now. Start something. So here it goes. This blog will mostly be a practice session. Practising writing, content creation, website design, Search, engine optimization, research, and brand creation to name a few. These are things that I enjoy, but also make me nervous. Still I’m starting.

This blog will also be me sharing my thoughts, likes and dislikes- my poetry, short stories, favourite skincare purchases, and fave fits at the moment. I’d love all the constructive criticism, comments, and feedback you’ve got reader. To my family and friends who’ve given me all these, and their love, freely, thank you very much. Lastly, to anyone who ever needed a sign, a nudge to just try- here it is- DO IT! The worst thing that could happen is that you don’t. So you might as well.

That’s all for now. Till next time, Olive.
