As it turns out, blogging is hard- it's hard to know what to write about. On the one hand, it doesn't really matter; I have perfect freedom to write anything I want to write. But, on the other- should someone come and read this, I'd at least like to make it worth reading.
So hello, you- welcome to theBlueFinch. It's a little project of an aspiring writer (yours truly) who thought (or, whose father thought) that blogging might be an interesting avenue to take.
I don't know what I'll write about, or if this will come to have some kind of theme to it. I'm running with it.
Tonight, I felt particularly swayed toward a journal-type entry.
Why would I do such a thing?
Why do I love that ginger color so much? Because I can. Because you have come here, all on your own, and handed me your time and allowed me to decide what to do with it.
I'm gonna tell you about...
My Senior prom.
And about how I almost went to it.
Instead of something better...
Way better.
This is a video recording of the grand finale of Southern Lights: a celebration held at the Atlanta Civic Center in the evening hours of April 30, 2011, in celebration of the dedication of the Atlanta Georgia LDS temple. It was a night that forever stamped the Atlanta temple into my heart; a night that I very nearly opted out of in favor of a sparkly blue dress.
Ultimately, I realized that either way, April 30 was going to be a milemarker in my life; what I had to choose, then, was why. And as I've watched this video, on September 30, 2011, and felt with the same power the feelings I felt exactly five months ago, I have only come to a greater appreciation for that thumping in my heart that, as I walked in one direction, said, "go the other way."
Till next time.
