Introductions!

I'm new to the blogging world, but figured I'd give it a whirl. So here I go.

I've started this for a couple of reasons. One being that I love life. A lot. Sometimes I love it so much it hurts. But like everyone else, I sometimes look past the little things that happen every single day that makes my heart smile, even if it's only for a brief moment. I've decided that I need to start focusing on those moments, share those moments, and hopefully create more of those moments.

For me, possibly the most important reason why I decided to start this, is because I love writing. When I was younger, I was constantly writing stories in the margins of notebooks while teachers taught lessons, but with the start of university, my creative juices seemed to have left. After writing essays, exams, and even lecture notes, the idea of picking up a pen and paper or sitting at my laptop and typing has started to feel more like a chore than relaxing hobby. Hopefully I can change that.

My goal is to write about something that has made my heart smile during the day. That's all.

A bit about me: My name's Michelle. I'm a Religious Studies and Sociology student in university. My "end goal" for when I finally graduate is to work with at-risk children and/or youth, or homeless people. I try to live my life following two basic principles, one being that I may not be able to change the world single handed, but I will try to live as if I can, and a quote from Kurt Vonnegut: "A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."
