What inspired me to start blogging

Now I know that I am newborn blogger; and as result I don't receive much yearned for traffic on my page. Yet I was inspired to exemplify all the reasons why I started a blog in the first place, as well as my vision for its future.

I have always been an avid writer on my free time. I would dread the required two page analysis on Shakespeare at school, but when it came down to free writing my thoughts, I could go on for hours. When I am inspired, I immediately scribble it down, afraid that I will loose an idea if it is not documented.

In the past few years, however, I have felt that my love for writing has slowly dwindled. Which for me, in the least, saddens me since it used to bring me great joy. School and other life issues consumed my mind, and every aspect of creative expression within me began to hinder. I felt lost, and had no spirit or motivation for anything. I was consumed by a monster of routine, and blackness. Any ounce of color within me began to hinder.

Naturally, I am a very creative person. I knew that the reason for my fatigue was because I wasn't indulging in natural expression. I craved an outlet that would let me escape from the routine of day to day life. Then it hit me.

I had been following bloggers and their blogs for months. I enjoy watching their lives through glimpses, and indulging in their ideas and projects. From food blogs, to inspiration blogs, to style blogs; I follow them all. I admired how easy it was for them to express their unique individuality and their artistic perspectives. One day, pondering through a newfound blog, it just hit me. Maybe starting a blog is exactly the creative outlet I need to rejuvenate my artistic aspirations.

So then Rawfreshed was born. I had to consider and ask myself: "What am I good at? What are my interests? How can I be relatable?"

It just so happens that within the past year I have been reborn in a new world of health and fitness. So I figured I could base my blog on my continuous journey to health, since I am well aware that seeking health is a popular concept today. I also realized how amazing of a platform a blog could be for my writing; it will allow me an excuse to jot down my daily thoughts and share them. It can be a home for experimentation; a place where I can resonate, organize, and share my thoughts, perspectives, and aspirations. A place where I inspire myself and others to live each day with amazing optimism.

So I created this blog. Hopefully it will house everything that inspires me, and in turn inspire any reader who decides to listen to what I have to say, or ponder through my recipes, or just look at my photos. I want Rawfreshed to radiate with absolute positivity. I mean everyone deserves some positivity in their lives right?

So here is Rawfreshed...
