Coming up with a name of a blog is probably harder than naming a child. I'm not too sure about the child naming thing because i've never actually had one, but I've been thinking for YEARS about a blog name and with a baby it seems like you get 9 months and then there's a deadline for the name. I finally gave myself a name for this blog and I came up with "ordinary love".
I have been following some of my favorite blogs and for a while I would get hard on myself. Why wasn't my life that perfect? Why didn't I fall in love in some fantastic way? Why aren't things turning out so perfect like their life is turning out? I needed a slap to the face because I realized that everyone goes through hard things. Those amazing bloggers out there just choose to post the happy things. I wanted to help fellow readers out by stating that this blog is just an ordinary blog with ordinary people living an ordinary life. I'll try my best to focus on the happy too though :)
I was sitting in class, looking for blog design ideas on Pinterest and came across a pin with the word "ordinary" in it. It finally clicked! I put that in front of love and found the name!
I also discovered that "ordinary love" is a song:
"We can't reach any higher if we can't deal with ordinary love"
I sometimes have expectations of our relationship that exceed where I should really be putting them. I've imagined our perfect life up here when really the better and best life is a little further down here.
Here's to our, honest, "ordinary life", while focusing on the happy.
