Blair and the Big Blue World

Wanna know a secret?  I want to be a filmmaker. It's funny how easy confessions can be online when you can't see people's reactions in real-time. You only see the filtered versions that they showcase in their replies. Some of the authenticity is lost, but then again so are some of the risks. And this confession feels...risky. I know that we're just getting to know each other here but an important thing that you should know about me is that I'm not a girl who takes a lot of risks. I'm adventurous and fun-loving, but I'm intentional with how I venture out and purposeful with the things that I love. This is why coming out and saying this secret (fact) is so scary for me because it isn't something that I've always planned on wanting and pursuing. It's actually fairly new. But I'm a spiritual person. I believe in God, the universe, and astrology (in that order) and I've been paying a lot of attention to the things around me and I've no...

I (like the rest of the world) am feeling a little bit odd during this whole...global pandemic thing, naturally. And by odd I mean stir-crazy, anxious, frazzled, and restless. I know that I am incredibly lucky. I have the privilege to stay at home, my parents have the means to provide the necessities that are needed to survive this time, and my education can continue online. But it's still really freaking ODD. I've been an early bird my entire life, but during my quarantine I've been waking up at 9:30 am or later. I've been taking walks with my family daily when I usually only see them all at the same time two times a week tops. My usually bare nails have been colorfully painted since day one of this entire thing. I expected 2020 to be this major year of growth and blooming and change, but right now it just feels like a whole lot of staying at home and spinning in my seat. And there's probably  lesson to be learned in all of this. Some grand revaluation to be had a...

Blair. I'm from suburban city #19, Wisconsin and I'm starting a blog! I'm psyched, really. Growing up I've always been really into journaling and memoirs and all that jazz but I honestly didn't think that my life was (or is, if we're being real here) interesting enough to document and share with the world. But now, in the midst of this global pandemic, I feel like it is more important than ever to try new things and branch out---as much as one can while staying within the confines of one's home. The name of this Blog is Blair and the Big Blue World, and I chose it for two reasons. 1) because I'm a sucker for alliteration and I adore the way it sounds, and 2) because it will allow me to dive into all of the things that I'm interested in investigating on this blog. Because the world is big, and (70%) blue,  and BEAUTIFUL (hey, there's another B!!), and I want to experience all of the things that I can while I'm living in it. I'm talking abo...
