A couple of days ago my friend Steve tweeted a link with this great quote by Ira Glass.With the immediacy of social media I expanded the circle of sharing by retweeting and posting the link on Facebook.
Then I got to thinking. While many forms of social media are fantastic for being able to quickly share stuff with others, I felt like this particular piece of information needed a more permanent home. Facebook and Twitter are what I consider fleeting instantaneous forms of sharing but this blog offers something a little more—the ability to call it back without a tiresome search method.
Permanence.
Inspiration.
A shelf life.
So I’m putting it here.
It’s good stuff. Especially when you are feeling like you can’t do anything right.
I am honestly SO glad I stumbled here. This really hit home for me and gave me some perspective. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for the quote. I do not consider myself the most artistic but I have always loved to write. Right now, i do not think it is that great but I will keep putting in the work until I break through to where i want it to be.
