An Unnecessarily Long Introduction

A close friend of mine sent me a journal. Just a small book of thoughts and inspirations. In this journal, I saw his soul. That may be the cheesiest thing I've ever said, but I really don't know how else to say it. In one part he confessed that he used twitter to rant and ramble, and get his feelings out. But eventually, he decided to vent through "good old-fashioned writing". I decided it was about time I do the same. And I wanted to do the same for him, but I wanted it to be something positive. It's not true that "there's no reason to be sad". There is reason to be sad. But there's so much more reason to be happy. I believe we both needed a reminder of that. So I decided on 365 reasons to smile. It's my way of sharing the personal joys in my life. HOWEVER, I think most journals are about 200 pages (??), and postage is expensive and time consuming. SO I decided to choose this as my medium. I realize it will probably only be him and myself that ever see this, seeing as no one even uses blogger anymore (admittedly I prefer vlogs, but I lack the means to produce my own). That's okay. I just hope I can get through this with as much positivity as possible. I'll try my hardest not to be a preachy "oh-look-she-thinks-she's-deep" teenager. I'm also fairly sure that no other entry will EVER be as long as this one. -sigh- Here goes another way to use up my time.

Reason 1: Today, I am starting a new project. And with it, I start a new adventure :)
