Rewind: December 2008

I wrote this last year, but never posted it because I went through a rush of emotions trying to decide if I would actually do this. Well, I decided to go through with it, so back to my thoughts in 2008, precisely.


As I sit at my desk in my current place of residence, the 18th arrondissement of Paris, I have one million plus thoughts running through my mind. Yet, the most prominent thought at this very moment is a question, “what the hell am I going to write for my first post”. In all honesty, I was so “anti-blog” as I like to call it, because it’s become a trend and you know the saying “everybody is doing it”, it’s just like that.

I didn't want to really just write about nothing and there are so many fashion blogs or blogs without any purpose that I didn't want to fall into that pile. Confusion was taking over, but

fortunately when I haven’t a sound thought running through my mind, my mother chimes in and becomes my voice of reason. As I listened to her, I actually came to the conclusion that this just may be my way out. A way to share my thoughts concerning the things I’m most passionate about, art, fashion, style and of course writing. I need a place to continue writing because we all know the saying "if you don't use it, you'll lose it" and lets just say I'm not down for losing.

Anyways, I recalled a previous conversation I had with a person whom I admire very much and I remember her saying “it’s very important to focus”. Yes, that may be such a simple phrase and everyone can say it, but the moment those words flowed from her mouth, I knew exactly what she was talking about. So, between my mothers voice of reason and my wondering thoughts I came up with the idea that I should just do things my way, in my own space. I said to myself “pourquoi pas moi” (why not me), I couldn’t find a way, so I made a way.

I hope that whomever reads the many things I post, finds inspiration and a bit of humour here and there.

I’m off to write my first “real” post.

sincerely,
Jennifer Pauline
