Beginnings!

I often find myself endlessly trawling through things from the past at those occasional times of the night when nostalgia hits. Tonight I logged back into Blogger for the first time in around two years and read a fair few posts from my trusty old blog/journal, OJS, which I upheld on and off for over four years. Before you sneak onto my profile and try to read back my teenage tales of romance and general angst (no joke, it is that cringe-worthy) you should know that I have made it completely private, so I can look back on it for my own enjoyment but no one else can laugh at how truly awful my writing was. I say writing, but in reality over half consists of song lyrics that I felt depicted my feelings...

However embarrassing it is to read old writing in any form, be it creative work from primary school or the attempt at a novel I wrote in my early teens, it certainly is heartening to see the changes in my life and work as the years fly by at an ever-increasing pace.

For this reason, after a year(!) of deliberation, I have decided to open a new, grown-up blog, as I find myself battling through an arts degree with a vague destination of journalism, amongst other creative possibilities.

I will be posting on any topic that takes my fancy, in the hope that it might be a good read on a quiet rainy evening such as tonight; and, as ever, learning and finding a path in life, just as I did from posting hundreds of song lyrics and photos of trees in my youth.
