My sister and I have very different opinions and feelings, anyone who knows us well can attest to that. When I was younger I couldn’t deal with the fact that she didn’t agree with the things I would say and as you can imagine it often led to arguments, heated debates and a few hours of not speaking to one another. Now that we are older I have learnt to embrace our differences and even take comfort in them. Imagine how boring it would be if we constantly agreed with each other, we wouldn’t challenge each other thought processes the way that we do now. It’s funny but I am starting to see that within all our differences several similarities are present in our underlying principles. If you read the articles on our blog I think it is clear to see this reflected.

People often ask me why I decided to start a blog with my sister when we both could easily have done it alone. Who doesn’t want to undertake an adventure of any kind with their best friend? Sometimes I find myself unable to come up with a new idea to write about and immediately my sister is there to pick up the pieces. She gives me ideas and makes me challenge myself and myself imposed restrictions. Since undertaking this endeavour with her I have found that I have broken free of certain fears I had about voicing my opinion completely. I am far more articulate than I was even less than a year ago as in the past I was afraid to voice my opinions because I didn’t want to hurt any ones feelings or create any sort of unnecessary debate. However I can now recognise that there is no such thing as unnecessary debate and that Humans in general are curious creatures who were given a certain intellectual capacity that no other living organism was, surely for a reason.  In the few short months that we have been doing this I have experienced personal growth in every sense of the word. With every article we post I find myself becoming more confident in my writing ability as well as my analytical thinking. Expression is key when it comes to blogging and writing about something your passionate about is a great starting point. When we started our blog my sister and I agreed not to limit ourselves. We write about anything that is on our minds at the moment and as our blog progresses so does our range of articles. Actually thinking about all the things we can achieve through this blog excites me beyond comprehension.
