the first steps

I think it's amazing how people affect each other. You never know how much one sentence, or even one word, can impact someone else's entire outlook on life. It's happened to me, and I've seen it happen in the lives of people around me. This blog, for example was started because a friend of mine just started a blog. We talked previously about traveling and doing great things in our lives, and now that she's started documenting her's, I figured I should start sharing mine. And so here it is.

Don't have big expectations. I know I do. I expect a lot from myself, for my life. But I'm pretty horrible at sharing my experience with others - I'm one of the worse story tellers I know. So don't expect too much from this blog, I'll do what I can. That being said, I do have expectations for myself with this blog. I expect not to update it too regularly, though it can change depending on how much I get into it, and how busy my junior year at Cal is. I expect to share a picture with each new post. I expect a few people to read my posts. I expect that this blog could be a good place for me to share my thoughts and my pictures, my travels and adventures, with whoever cares to share it with me. I expect that this can be a place for people to see a little more into my life, since I've been told that I don't often allow that too much.

I expect that this is just one small step in my life, but that hopefully it will lead on to something beyond the horizon of what I can see.

So here it is, my blog. Enjoy, learn, share. Mostly just enjoy.
