i just realized that this month, i’ve been writing this blog for four years! wow! though i’ve only been writing regularly for around two years, this blog has always been such a fun way to record my life, starting with fashion posts then to documenting my travels, my baking excursions and just the day to day of my life. i write this blog not so much for others to read (though you are all greatly appreciated) but more as a life log for myself. i mostly write this blog to try to capture fleeting memories in the ways i know best: through photos and words. i write this blog for the moments when some friends and i get lost in the woods in christchurch, new zealand. or for magical birthday celebrations with two of my best friends. or to commemorate my first summer job. or for my first thoughts when i arrived in new zealand. or to document my photos from the summer in europe that changed my life. or for my week spent in new york city after i broke up with my boyfriend over the phone which ended up being one of the best weeks of my life. or to remind myself that sometimes, it really is the little things that make life great. this blog holds so many memories because at the end of the day, thats what this blog is for. i’ve had many people ask me over the years why i blog. its hard to put into words exactly why i keep writing here but i know one thing. i blog to remember.
