Blog #1: "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you." ~ Maya Angelou

Not to get too boring, but what I have done with this blog is pretty planned out. The purpose of my blog is to write and post serious things, but with a friendly feel. This sounds contradicting, but that's a running trend in my life: I am a laid-back perfectionist. Personable, but professional. Introverted, but social. Polite, but sarcastic. Compassionate, but blunt. Cultured, but naive. Passionate, but easily distracted. Intelligent, but not smart. Purebred Indian, Westernized heart. 

So yes, the content of this blog will be more serious, but with a colloquial edge. I say "serious" lightly, however - because if you actually knew me, you'd experience quite the opposite in everyday situations. But my speaking style and my writing style are worlds apart. I like to think that I am a very approachable person, so that is what I plan to convey - not with the content, but with the design, font style, and font color. The blue waves in the background give a sense of calm and serenity. My font style I chose was Arial, to be formal, but informal (catch the trend again?). My regular font color for my blogs is orange, to give a sense of warmth and homeyness, but a bit of energy (trend sighting #2). Finally, my title and subtitle font colors are white and a watermelon-red color - white is to give a sense of purity and spaciousness, and the pinkish-red is to give a small, girly flare to my blog, as well as having a bold, but calming effect (and there's the trend one more time). 

I will also title each blog post with a quote - to not only foreshadow the post the follows, but as a "little something" that can perhaps inspire you, as it has inspired me. 

And so the journey begins...
