state of the blog.

yes, i am the absolute worst at keeping a blog. i think this has a lot to do with my conflicting feelings about blog culture; the idea of knowing random oddities of a person's life because you read their blog. i am totally guilty of it, and i have seen countless young women across cue's campus do the same, like, "oh m g, did you see what bash did today, i don't know how grace does it." i'm sorry, rewind, i do not know that blogger, she does not know i exist, yet i am speaking as if i am best friends with her and hang out with her all. i just struggle to see if this is all emotionally healthy; to get wrapped up in other peoples live and view them as so perfect and something to strive for and i think thats my biggest "bloggers block."

one of those outfits that i love now, but could regret later. #fakepensiveface

i have prayed and thought a lot about this and it has lead me to establish some ground rules for this little blog of mine. the purpose of this blog originally was to share some of myself with the internet, maybe share some recipes, some outfits and see where it leads, and okay, maybe i hoped to reach mommy blogger renown, but sans the children. i am revising my intentions. i want to have this blog so i can go back in two, five, seventeen years and laugh at my "shannonanigans." i want to be eighty and look at this antiquated webpage and say, "why the heck did i think those prints looked good together," or "oh my goodness, that was foolish" or even "wow, i sure have lived and lived well." so here is the blog for me, to record my shannonanigans with my future self, and sure, if you want to laugh at me with me, your welcome, but know this is just one twenty-something living by trial and error, just like you.
