Whim #1: Why it took so long.

John - the daffodil we saved three days ago from the street.

Hello :)

After a long, long pause I've decided to resume blogging but with a new and exciting concept behind my writing! But let us go back in time and hear the whole little story.

I decided to create this blog because I wanted to leave an imprint on the map of the world-wide web. I didn't really see what others have been doing (stupid business move), so I wrote and wrote, thinking how awesome and fresh my scheme was. It wasn't ("Duh, Capt. Obvious!").

Then I started following some blogs, then more of them, then so many that I can't possibly keep up with all of them daily. And it became quite clear that some of them were way better than mine, more entertaining, better looking, more often followed. And it discouraged me a little, you know that type of discouragement - "I know they deserve what they have, why can't I do it?" - that crawls up your nerves until you want to beat the crap out of your blog or school papers. So I did, I didn't want to keep doing something I didn't like. It sounds irresponsible, but, hey, I've got a job, I don't need anything else to make me feel down (no offence, job).

I can't say you've missed much interesting stuff in my life since. Another university year, some magnets, some writing, some minor excitements, hours and hours on Etsy, nothing special, but still things that make me happy. 

And then, less than a month ago a most awesome person complimented the blog as it was and said I should've kept going. And I decided I would. Yes, that's how the Whim World works. However, I didn't really want to keep doing the same unsatisfying thing. Instead, I will now keep my blog true to myself even if no business guru would ever say it's useful or SEO-effective.

And here comes Whim #1 - Whim blogging! I will post whenever I feel like posting about whatever I feel like posting! I don't mean this in a teen pseudo-rebellion sense, but in a wholesomely self-loving one. My goal is to entertain you and make you feel happy, but that would be impossible if I am miserable. I remember the hard times I had keeping up the positive tone during the last few weeks of my previous blogging spree and I don't really want to go through them again. Blogs should feel natural to their owners.

And that's why it took so long. I thought I had to write this post, but I didn't really feel like it. And I procrastinated. But, no more!

I don't know what my next post will be about, but you should give me the benefit of the doubt.

Until then take your time with life, 

Bill :)
