As every blogger may know the most difficult step of starting your own blog is choosing the title. A title is an extremely important part of the branding for your entire layout and voice of the blog. Plus it's something that typically doesn't change mid-blogging season. But once the right title hits you, you know it's the one.
I have received multiple questions after publishing my blog a few months ago about the meaning behind the title and how it came about but I kept readers waiting and replied "Stay tuned and maybe you'll find out" and so today I will share my story behind my blog title Chasing Light.
With every new idea comes brainstorming and that's exactly where I started in my planning for my first blog. I wrote a multitude of lists with words I found interesting and began pairing them together to create a unique combination yet nothing clicked. Until I was driving down Lake Michigan drive one evening heading back to my apartment as I drove up the hill and reached the top I could see the sun beginning to set in the distance. I vividly remember the sky was filled with a beautiful blend of oranges, purples, and pink pigments and the sun was glowing bright in the center. As I kept driving closer and closer to the sun it kept disappearing behind the Earth and I thought to myself 'I want to keep chasing it and find the end of the light'. In that moment I discovered my new blog title - Chasing Light.
I can relate the title not only physically chasing light but as a metaphor for my dreams and ambitions. I relate light as a symbol for my future goals and endeavors. I chase every dream and don't stop until I can successfully accomplish it. Whether you are chasing dreams, love, happy, peace, success or perfection, take this light as a guide to your goal. Sunlight has always been my daily motive and drive so constantly having light and positivity in my life is important to me.
Light brings life to plants and awakens the world every morning. Sunlight is essential to all living things. Although with every ray of light comes shadows. No shadow can come without light; as with all ups there will mostly likely be a down. Everyone will have their down days but with every shadow there is the opportunity to step out of it into the light. Take these shadow moments and learn from them. Learn to live in the light.
Thanks for reading my inspiration and drive for my blog name. If anyone is considering starting a blog the best advice I can give for name brainstorming is to step into elements of life where you best fit and feel comfortable, the right name will spark in moments of bliss. Hope you enjoy reading #ChasingLight
