To start off...

The reason why I am starting this blog is because I want a place to reflect on my day-to-day experiences. I want to have a space designated for my thoughts and experiences. I think that having a place to write down my thoughts and feelings will help me consciously develop my individuality and sense of self.

Self-reflection is often difficult for me to do. At times, I have felt that I simply pass through experiences without actually understanding them. With this blog, I intend to write down the thoughts and feelings that are most salient to me (using the very act of writing as a way to meditate on my situation). In the meantime, I hope to become more aware of myself and the experiences that (will) shape me.

Admittedly, writing this post has proven difficult. In the past hour, I have repeatedly written and deleted words due to my uncertainty with what I am trying to express. Hopefully, with practice, I can become more skilled in expressing myself.
