The reason I chose this name for my blog was because of an experience I had that really stuck with me. I was living in a new town, trying to make it on my own. I was desperately trying to make ends meet and the great life experience I was hoping for seemed to be a bust. One night, a friend I had made played me the song "Blackbird" by The Beatles on his guitar. The words rang true to me in this stage of my life. I knew I needed to stay and try my hardest to keep afloat because there was something great that would come of it. Well, I stayed for a while and learned some great lessons as well as grew up a little bit. One of the things I learned was that we can all be free. We can be free from our pain, free from our circumstance, and free from all of the bitterness in life, even if it's only in our minds. If we can find the little joys in life and cling to them, then the ugliness won't be so ugly. So this is my blog of beautiful things. I also chose the French word for Blackbird because I've always wanted to go to Paris. I am a photographer and that has always been on my bucket list. To me, Paris represents a part of myself that throws caution into the wind and goes out and seeks adventure. Please feel free to leave ideas and comments of what makes you happy and what gets you through the hard days.
Thanks,
Emily
