Why We’re All Stories
When I started building this blog, I had initially thought that I’d only be writing about travel. As I began to write, and edit (and edit some more), I realized that although exploring the beauties of the world were a prominent part of my writing, so were the inner workings of my experience. It was more than what I was outwardly experiencing, more than my surroundings. It was about the emotional and intellectual journey I would take with every experience, and every word written. In that same breathe, it was simultaneously about all of my experiences that led to every other experience, every behaviour, every thought and every emotion in my life.
Within us lives a story. With every passing day, our stories become grander, more intricate. Day by day we add to the pages of our book. Sometimes completely unaware. Sometimes with the greatest realization. Whether it is the daily mundane rituals that make each day blend into one other, or the tremendous moments in life that make other days more prominent from the rest, every moment creates the person we look back into in the mirror.
In the grand scheme of things, we’re all just stories waiting to be told — waiting to be uncovered and explored. We wait for the day to tell our stories, the big and the small. Because it is in those stories that we let down our walls and discover who we are. It is in those stories that we allow others to discover who we are. This is mine.
Embark on this voyage that we call life with me as I explore the cornerstones of the world, sharing my stories, reflections and the hidden gems I come across along the way.
I’d be honoured to have you along on this journey me.
A little bit about me…
My name is Melody. As a young girl, I always had a book in my hand — I would become immersed in stories and the way words were able to so beautifully depict life and experiences. I would get lost in my journals, writing stories and poems with the hopes of one day telling tales as lovely as the ones I read. I was fascinated by many forms of writing — from magazines to song lyrics, books and poems.
As I grew older, I explored many different avenues trying to understand who I was and how I fit into this world. Don’t we all? I moved away from writing and studied law, psychology, early childhood… But I felt lost. With time, I finally came back to myself. My admiration for storytelling never faded, it only became more profound. A higher calling I couldn’t ignore. Writing is more than just a string of words, it is a form of creativity and self-expression. One that allows me to communicate my passions to the outside world in an effort to captivate and inspire. In an effort to make others feel the depths that I feel within myself, in an effort to make sense of it all.
I hope to inspire you as I feel inspired by the world around me. I hope to inspire you to romanticize every bit of your life, as I do mine, because it is a beautiful one.
