“No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.” ~Ansel Adams

"I Spy Ella" 

After much contemplating thought battles, I have decided to start my own blog. Starting this isn't some new revelation of my love for expressing some of my most vulnerable, inner thoughts - but rather, I am on a journey to write my very own book. "I Spy Ella" will be the title (I will get to its meaning later). I couldn't think of a better way to capture some of my most important moments than conducting my very own blog. Expression is incredibly important to me -- and lately, I've completely disregarded it. I hope to bounce back into my ever-passionate self, and share fragments of my life with some of you, whom are willing to smile, laugh, cry, and relate with me. 

'I Spy Ella' honestly manifested out of nowhere. One night, I was writing in my journal, and thought to myself, how badly I wanted to find a book, some story in which I could relate to, in every aspect. Of course, none exist - for I haven't written it yet. Writing an autobiographical novel about my adolescent life, didn't appear as an exciting choice (at first) but after I did some reading of my own - "Looking For Alaska" by John Green (may, I add..is an incredible read for those who are into philosophical thinking) I grew completely inspired to begin my very own word adventure. I plan on changing some details, here and there, for dignity purposes - but it is going to be a gem, near and dear to my heart. 
Alas! I am here, and totally ready to blog my life away. 
Keep my page bookmarked ~ I'll be posting very very soon.
