When I sat down several years ago to create what I hoped would be a professional style and fashion blog, I tried to come up with a name that was cute, clever, and described the blog. I quickly decided on "The Loud Corner". I felt that appropriately captured who I was at the time. I was loud, my fashion was bold and loud, I was doing big, loud things with my life. Over time, over different circumstances my life changed, as all lives tend to and suddenly things weren't so loud. Okay, my fashion is STILL loud, and that probably won't change anytime soon ;)
While I do want to incorporate everyday style into this blog, I want to use it to mostly capture my thoughts. My daily life. The changes that are coming soon. How can I describe that in a blog name? I want this place to be another extension of my identity, another platform in which I honestly share my struggles and joys.
And so, welcome to Always Varissa. This is a place where I come to share my authentic self. This is a place where I come to reflect on my day. This is a place where I hope to gain the clarity necessary to align myself more closely with the Varissa God is calling me to be. I know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, but I am also imperfect, and this blog will probably highlight some of those imperfections as I shift my focus from this world to another. I hope I can be kind to myself here, and patient, and I hope I can inspire others to do the same.
