Never been much of a Blogger

I've never been much of a blogger. Diary writer? Absolutely! Had various diaries since I was in the fifth grade. But I've never wanted to publish my personal thoughts and musings for the entire planet to view, if they so pleased.


My excuses ranged from my inability to write eloquently to the idea that no one would want to read about what goes on in the crazy labyrinth of my head anyway.


But I ran out of excuses, because I'm constantly inspired by the musings of people posted online. And while it might be insanely selfish to think that what I write might inspire, I want to do it anyway.


The ExtraOrdinary Optimist is all about taking the problems of others or the dilemmas I see around campus and attempting to answer them with pure optimism and hope. Feel free to agree/disagree/remain unchanged in your feelings. But my ultimate hope is to remind everyone that people around you are suffering too. If we take a minute to have compassion towards them - it'll head your way eventually as well.
