So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen (haha my spelling attempts at this before looking it up are pretty entertaining),
Goodbyyyyyyyyyyyye Idea Blog!
This blog is coming to an end!!
It has been a great tool for forced reflection and a good medium for expression!! While it's initial purpose was for my Introduction to Creativity class in advertising, I have molded it to become my own. Some of the things I've posted may seem really sappy to some people, but I find when I express things in typing (a way of expression that is more slow and methodic) I am able to dig down deeper into my thoughts. I'm sure you'll realize (or have already realized) that in the deeper discussion of ideas, I can't help but let my Christian worldview shape my opinions. I take no shame in this. If I'm really expressing how I feel about something, there's no way I can hide my spirituality. It IS who I am. So while an older version of myself may have been afriad of offending people, or turning people off by exposing my Chrisitian nature, the present-day me says "take it or leave it", "support it or refute it". I am thankful that I'm becoming more and more true to myself. I'm accepting and finding my identity. And I feel like this Blog has had an important role in that growth.
i dont know if you'll ever read this blog again but i totally agree with you! there's something so illuminating about blogging. sometimes i read my thoughts later and am amazed that it was me that wrote it! it seems to clear and so myself that i guess it's shocking. and i love that this helped you find your identity in Christ!
ReplyDeletei'm learning this too lately! im finally becoming myself as a Christian in the world and saying "take it or leave it". Im finally finding myself! it's exciting. anyway, i thought i'd leave these thoughts.
and i love your post about amelie. i think about those things all the time! i'm always trying to narrow down my own idiosyncrasies.
