This isn't a lame excuse to have a lazy day and instead of coming up with something new and creative, just post an old photo and call it good. On Thursdays, I'm going to take something old and make it new again.
Today, I just want to share a little bit about myself because I think it's important you all know a little bit about the person whose blog you're reading.
This is my favorite photo from my trip to Japan this summer:
This is Itsukushima Shrine, located on Miyajima Island, a small island community off the coast of Hiroshima. While I was there, I saw the most beautiful wedding ceremony; the bride was dressed in an extremely intricate pure-white ceremonial kimono (I was later told a kimono like that could cost 10,000 American dollars to rent) and I swear she was the most gorgeous woman in the world at that moment. I may not have understood a word of the ceremony or any of the traditions, and I certainly didn't know the bride and the groom, but it didn't matter- it was the most magical wedding I've ever experienced.
I may have only spent a few hours on Miyajima, but it's my favorite place in the world. It's where I picture when I picture paradise. It's where I plan to take my boyfriend when he has enough leave saved up. It's where I dream of having my honeymoon. This picture for me doesn't just represent an amazing vacation, it represents my perfect love life. I'm always going to associate Miyajima, and especially Itsukushima Shrine, with romance, and whoever I bring with me to that island should know they're pretty special to me if I'm sharing my paradise with them.
Just some unrelated notes:
I don't make my own GIFs (yet)- today's GIF was brought to you from Funny or Die.
I also love feedback, so leave a comment if you have something to say! I really do appreciate all the support. Over 100 views in a week is way more than I anticipated and I hope you keep coming back for more.
