So I postponed this post for quite awhile.
What do you write about for your first blog post? Do you introduce yourself? Do you say why you went through the process of creating a blog in the first place? What I ate for breakfast? ( which was coffee… of course.)
I figured I would just start by reflecting on a favorite quote of mine:
People themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be observed in them forever.” ~Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I first came across this quote when I was sixteen, forced to read this book for a school assignment. After I read this, I highlighted it and it has continued to intrigue me to this day. I have always been really interested in human nature. Why do people react the way they react? What lens are they looking though, that differs from mine? I was really interested in what was behind peoples thoughts and motives. This quote really shifted how I received different opinions.
The world is always changing, people are always changing, and along with that, their view of the world.
It also is a reminder to me that change is inevitable, and is healthy, even if it doesn’t feel that way. You also shouldn’t be upset at someone for growing or shifting, because you too are also growing and shifting.
And if you aren’t growing and shifting, you really aren’t enjoying the human experience at all.
