Simple as that.

As I state on the blog itself, “If just one of my posts helps to make just a slight improvement to just one person on just one day of their uni life, then it’s a worthwhile job.”

I then started to include inspirational professional jewelry artisans. As a bookaholic and history buff, I also get to tell informative and entertaining stories about the gemstones, jewelry and people who wore them, because I don't have time to do so during actual designing classes. So my blog is both an inspirational and informative one, very different from other jewelry blogs. In the process, I discovered I enjoyed writing very much and it has become another creative outlet.

Anyway, I started one up to showcase my creative writing. I started reading about blogs and blogging, went through a transitional period of starting up blogs and then dropping them, and now have a handful I'm rather proud of and look forward to posting on every morning. I find blogging an essential tool in keeping my mind sharp and the creative juices flowing, as well as offering a sense of carving out my own corner of the world.

Now, I have blogger friends who share what has become my passion for this form of writing. I think it's a fantastic platform for all voices. Of course one can monetize anything, and good on people who can do this, but for now I'm content building up communities and relationships with people who share my interests.
