On This Blog

  Ever since I've started this blog, I've wanted to show who I truly am.  It's probably pretty obvious that that's what I want to show, since the title is even Truly, Utterly, Carolyn.  I want to be me.

  You know, this probably doesn't seem too difficult.  You just have to write about whatever it is you want to, and you're still being yourself, right?  Well, yes and no.  Obviously, I can't talk about every aspect of my life on my blog, nor would I want to.  But the thing is, I tend to write differently than I talk {a great example would be right now!}, and I read my posts and notice that I probably come off a lot differently in real life.  This is obviously still me, though, just a different side of me than my friends see, I guess.

  But my pointe is, I don't want to conform to that.  I kind of wish that I was still the blogger I was when I first made a blog {that blog is long gone, sadly}, a girl who had no idea what blogging was really all about, who just wrote little posts about whatever, being as me as I possibly could be.  As I continuously grow as a writer and a person, though, of course I have-and will-become more mature.  Being more mature doesn't mean I have to be less of myself at all, and I think that's what I need to think when I write a post for however many people still read this little blog of mine.

  So, I'm going to try to write as I talk, less "professional"-esque and more . . . well . . . Carolyn.  Truly, Utterly, Carolyn.  :)  Who I am, who I was, and who I will always be.

I thought that this quote was really fitting

  1. gosh, know how you feel there, Caro. I had SO much trouble finding my voice on my blog, and I've finally found it. I wrote quite a few posts about it before (and finally after!) I finally found me.
    Can't wait to see what you have in store!

  2. Comes from a true Ballerina. Beginning of the third paragraph where you state "But my 'pointE' is..." XD

  4. Carolyn! I think you may have fixed my blogging slump! Thank you! Also, I just now found your YouTube channel (fail) and I was pleased to find that your voice sounds exactly as I imagined it would sound. :)

  5. It's difficult isn't it? I guess the even more difficult thing for me at least is that I'm not really sure who I am so it's hard to just _write_. Anyway I'm looking forward to your upcoming posts!
