Since March 2011, I have been Tumbling: http://teaandtreasures.tumblr.com/
Lately, I've been thinking it's time that instead of just sourcing and posting pictures that inspire and make me happy, I should give the writing a bit of a go. Put the Journalism degree to good use, and maybe I will be pleasantly surprised with people finding enjoyment out of the same things that I do.
As a perfect segue for this first post, I came across a great post by Styling You. Nikki Parkinson wrote about "20 tips for improving your social media etiquette" which I found quite relevant.
Nikki writes about how easy it is in today's society to hop on a social media outlet and do nothing but rant.
I truly believe you should stop and edit yourself. The Internet is forever. Will you be happy in a year’s time when a potential employer is the same one you had a rant over today? - Nikki Parkinson
It's a valid point. We have all these social media outlets to be used, but should we necessarily use them to air our dirty laundry? A prime example is those that use Facebook status updates, as their online journal entries.
The purpose of the space I have created is not for ranting, but for sharing things I enjoy. Finding the positives in small things, that can help turn those less than average days around.
There may not be a particular running theme with this blog, and it certainly may not be for everyone, but if Suri Cruise can Blog (of whom I suspect is actually an hilarious and intelligent gay man behind it) then I can certainly give it a try!
