One night, while everyone else was sleeping, I was wide awake, feeling antsy. I was mindlessly scrolling on my laptop, when I felt an overwhelming urge to check out WordPress. I checked out the different price points, looked into having my own domain, and started to develop an idea of what I wanted to pay for when I started my blog. Which I had planned to do months down the road. Before I knew it, I signed up, I named my blog, and got it all situated. I remember feeling surprised by myself, because this wasn’t the plan. The new plan was to wing it and buy a domain one day in the distant future. Again, before I knew it, I went ahead and paid for one. Now, I had my own domain, and my own blog.
God laughed at my plan, and pushed me outside of my comfort zone, and I couldn’t be more appreciative. I love writing, and I love helping people. I’m here because God led me here. I have faith He will continue to guide me in the right direction. This blog is part of my purpose, and I’m wildly passionate about it.
Here’s what I know I want, when He says it’s time. 1. I want to help people. This is the most important one. I know what it’s like to feel all alone, depressed, suicidal. Even with amazing support systems, it can be difficult to go through life. 2. I want to build a community with you. I want to spend more time on here, I want to read your blogs, your comments, I want to support you, and hopefully earn your support as well. 3. I want to make this my career. One day, when God says it’s time, I hope to monetize my blog. My dream is to be a good enough writer to earn a living wage. I no longer want to be rich and famous, I just want to be comfortable. I still love the idea of lion statues, but that’s not a goal. The goal is to fulfill God’s purpose for me.
Changes are coming to Objectively Truthful. I’m working on the next post to fill you all in.
