You’re ONE years old! I’m very excited to say that today is the birthday of Uhlee Designs. As my readers, you guys have grown with this blog and seen the changes it’s gone through. Without my readers, this blog wouldn’t have reached the level it is at now. This blog started out as a blog strictly for Photography and my journey on that path. I always knew that writing was a great love of mine but never expected to share my thoughts with the world on the internet. My sister kept telling me, ‘you need to write on that blog of yours.’ I kept thinking to myself, what’s the point? No ones going to read it and even if they did.. they wouldn’t understand.
I woke up one morning, walking to the computer half asleep and began typing. For the first time on that blog, I posted and it had nothing to do with photography. I was surprised that I was opening up so easily to not knowing who would stumble across my blog and read it. But that’s how it all started, the blog then became my life journal and I was addicted to express what was on my mind. I had no expectations for people to sit and read what I had to say, but I didn’t care because I was writing for myself. I was writing for release, for the power of words, the love of writing, and for the respect of my thoughts… because they deserve every bit of recognition. Everyone’s thoughts do.
Even though I didn’t write with the expectation of anybody reading, I was blown away by the responses. There were readers I have never met in my life that I still connect with to this day. I started out writing for me but I also started growing with my readers. When my readers would tell me they can relate to my words, my heart would literally melt. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard. The fact that my own thoughts can affect another is so powerful, and that is why I fell in love with writing in the first place. Words are the true connection we humans have, without words.. the people, society, the world would not be the same. The way we are able to express love, hatred, sadness, jealousy and simply emotions can be done from our bodies, our smiles, our eyes but when it comes to exactly how we truly feel, that is when words come into place. That is when words do what the body, the smile, and the eyes can’t do.
Lets take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? Starting out as a photography blog, there are photos done by yours truly all over the blog. I went back and chose my favorites and now I’m sharing them with you :)
