Blowing Time

Due to work, and other random things I didn't get to continue this challenge. I have two more posts left of it, and I'm just now getting back. I'm sorry for the long absence. I'm not going to go into detail, so let the challenge continue. ///@ig/// So, what hopes do I have for my blog? Now that's something I really have to think about. What do I want to accomplish by writing on this blog?  Firstly, I want to gain a bit more confidence when it comes to making my opinions publicly. I think this will help me grow as a person too, and I also want to learn from the reactions I get to my posts (even if there is no reaction at all). As I said here , I changed quite a lot in the past years, but there are still so many things I struggle with. Writing on this blog helps me greatly, even if I don't write that often. Secondly, I want to assure people that everyday struggles can be overcome, that we can get better at whatever we want to do, and a fail is not...

// @instagram // I'm afraid my blog name doesn't have any hidden significance, and it's nothing out of ordinary. Blowing time means exactly that, blowing time. Plain and simple.  I might have been a tad bit bored when I changed the name of my blog from whatever it was called at first (I'm not sure I remember, but I don't really want to remember either), and just thought about blowing time the same way you blow dandelions, only that I was planning on blowing time with words on top of words because sometimes when I'm writing time seems to just fly away.  For me the title is pretty straight forward and doesn't really need an explanation, although at one point someone told me they are rather confused by it. When I came up with the title it felt natural and it fits so well that I had no doubt about it. From the start I planned for my blog to be some place where I can fill my free time, where I can go when I get bored or when I want to do somethi...

// nigmatillium // I started this blog seven years ago, in 2010, and oh my goddess, that's a lot! I remember I was spending a lot of time on anime forums, and there was a topic about personal blogs, and maybe someone told me about blogs before, I'm not entirely sure, but it seemed fun and I decided to start one too. Thinking about it, at the time I might have just wanted some space where I could write about things that I like, that interest me, and to share them with people that might come across my blog. When I made the blog I was enthusiastic about it, I wanted to write and write, but as I grew up I started not paying as much attention to it, which is a shame, shame on me, and still, at the same time I always had the blog at the back of my head as an escape place. I didn't have a topic to write about, so I posted this poem by Mircea Cărtărescu , author we were studying at the time in school. I don't have a subject for my blog now either, I just go wild, I...

I have no idea what on earth I am doing on here anymore, but at the same time I don't see why I shouldn't be doing anything at all. I am going to post every topic of the challenge once a week, I haven't quite decided on a day, but I think I'll post them on Sundays.  That being said, let the challenge begin!             P.S.: Anyone can take part in the challenge if you wish so.
