Writer's picture: Jessica ClarkJessica Clark

It’s 2016, and who isn't on the internet these days? Social media has become a platform where intellectual expressionist can share their swiftly sought out philosophies. The Internet is the worlds largest networking expo, shopping center, safe haven, and shield to users across the globe. And with social media in a constant rotation, people are always sharing their thoughts. So, why a blog? The bigger question should be, why not blog? It’s 2016, now is the best time to embark on this blogging journey.

What’s this blog about? Anything. My goal in blogging is to encapsulate my thoughts, my memories, and this journey called life, through a shareable platter with all of my readers. As we navigate through life’s triumphs and tribulations, I am eager to embark on this journey and share my experiences with you.

Why now? I was inspired by blogs of people I know like Miss Suber and Sincerely Vic. And I figured this is the perfect time to start blogging. It will allow me to indulge in one of my many passions and natural talents, writing.

Why do I write? For most of my young years, I found comfort in remaining reserved. I often neglected expressing my feelings, caught up in the observation of everything else around me. I was plagued by insecurities of personal image, weight, and beauty, resulting in a constant comparison of myself to those around me and the image of perfection often portrayed in the media. I spent everyday battling beauty standards, fighting off insecurities, and warring my soft-spoken voice that sheltered me from the feelings I longed to express. At such a young age, I didn’t realize the power of my voice, so instead I allowed others to overpower it. But writing, an everyday task in a students life, became something I was fond of. Writing, no matter the type, provided me with an outlet, a safe space, to express the things I could never express aloud. The words on the pages was my voice when I lacked one. It gave me power; Power that no one could take away, power that made others eager to pay attention.

​​So what is the purpose of my blog? My blog has the potential to become a gallery to showcase my art and a open diary to display my thoughts. A mixture of art, fashion, creativity, music, and more. My only hope is to continue on my life’s odyssey, sharing the stormy seas and succulent sunsets with all of you. I hope you enjoy.
