Balancing Act and a New Beginning


I'm changing things up with my blog for a couple of reasons.  I had previously called it "Balancing Act" and wrote with the aim of helping others and myself achieve more "balance" in life.  

This endeavor had become tedious.  It meant that every time I wrote something, I felt the self inflicted need to post something insightful and brilliant.  A few weeks ago, I was racking my brain about the next topic for a post when I kicked myself and said, "Hey, this is a freakin' blog, not the great American novel..." Which by the way, I have every intention of writing... someday.
Furthermore, I had started off blogging wishing to be anonymous.  The radical revolutionary urging us to overthrow a monarchy that is levying unfair taxation upon us might enjoy the benefits of everlasting anonymity, but it proves short lived for a person whose life comprises mostly of everyday stuff.  I cannot write about what I do not know, and I only know my own life.  Besides, I like being Faiqa.  It took a long time to get here, and I'll be d@#$%d if I pretend not to be me, even if it is only the Internet.

In the meantime, this is just a blog about what I, Faiqa, think about life.  Sometimes, what I think is really brilliant, but more often than not it's just my opinion.  As Emerson said so eloquently, it is simply an expression of my character, which I hope is good and interesting.
