Homes for Butterflies

One of the things that used to dominate my blog were all the theories I had.  I’d share all my beliefs on different things and pass them on as self-evident and true.  More times than not I’d get readers commenting saying how much they believe in my ideals and loved finding someone who thinks just like them.

One talk that Harriet and I had one day, it was over Spring Break, sitting in the second floor eating area of the Whole Foods in Austin, Texas, was about how I’ve changed.  It wasn’t a huge, relationship-changing talk- it was just a light addressing of the ways I’ve grown up and matured over the past couple of years.  One of the biggest things that Harriet mentioned was how I don’t share my philosophies and my theories anymore with her.  The reasoning behind it was because she’s heard everything- I’ve shared all there is to share with her.  And that’s why I stopped journaling and sharing my thoughts on my blog: I’d said all there is to say!  It’s as simple as that.  I’ve always been a man who knows exactly what’s on his mind and knows exactly what he wants out of life, etc. etc.  I’ve always been so stable and so sure and that’s what’s allowed me to honestly exhaust my thoughts both with the girl of my dreams, an unknown audience (my blog readers), and even myself (my journal).

But now that I’ve joined Blogged.com and I’m bringing in even more readers than ever before, there’s a certain drive to write better blogs.  And along with that, I’ve decided to bring back my big philosophical writings!  Now, whenever an idea pops into my head, I save it on my cell phone so I’ll remember to write about it later.  My return to the intellectual writing world begins with a quick analysis about success and failure entitled, “The Good Mistake & the Bad Accomplishment.” I also have a write-up on true love to discuss and possibly even a story to share about two creatures known as “Beauty” and “Chaos.”  So, there’s going to be a lot to share here on Homes for Butterflies.  Lately I’ve been telling more people about how I blog and a lot of people have shown sincere interest- so definitely expect the quality of what’s on here to start increasing.

I don’t know how it would work out, but I really do see my blog as the launching point for my writing career.  I’m hoping I might become one of those random success stories where the thoughts I have are so evocative and entertaining that sure enough I start generating mad hits every day because people enjoy getting a little food for thought.  I know, maybe that’s a bit conceded of me…  but being humble didn’t get me where I am today.  Deciding that the world was actually small enough to put in my hand was the best mindset I ever acquired.  Because when I wake up every morning convinced that I can make the impossible happen- great things follow.  And if you’ll allow me to be completely ambiguous here, lately my recent actions have been causing some tremendous good to enter the world.  Clarity & wonder are becoming very abundant for those around me.

But okay, I’m done tooting my own horn here.

The whole point of this blog was to say: expect some cool, professional changes happening here on Homes For Butterflies.

Cheers.
