The ALL-IMPORTANT first post

I've been pondering over how to phrase the first 'introductory' post of The Bunny Breakup Blog for a few days. Trying to find the right 'voice' and 'feel' and 'style' of writing. It has to be interesting, intriguing and thought provoking so that people would want to visit again, and Again, and AGain, and AGAIN.....

But i realised that the essence of this blog is about confidence, breaking barriers, getting out of the comfort zone and doing things you would never think you could do. And those were essentially the fears I had in trying to come up with the perfect 'first-post' that would set a good tone for the rest of this journey. What is 'perfect' anyway ? The pursuit of perfection destroyed Natalie Portman in the Black Swan (but that movie is a different discussion altogether).

So here goes ! I am announcing Bunny Breakup into this world !

I release any fears that people think that coming up with a new persona is stupid. I release my fears that no one will ever read my blog. I allow this blog to be wildly famous (even more popular than Xiaxue). I allow my opinions to matter and for people to take my advice in being treated well. I accept that popularity can spiral out of control and promise to try and stay true to myself in the process. I believe that I am special and unique and amazing and wonderful. I know there is much to learn in life and am willing to put in effort, determination and perservere till I succeed.

This blog is inspired by you. The countless girls I've seen treated badly by guys, waiting for a man who isn't sure what he wants, begging for him to take her back.

After breaking up, I saw all the flaws in the relationship, all the things he did/ didn't do I overlooked because of love, everything I put up with to keep us happy. My eyes could see clearer and the view looked brighter. Though we broke up, I don't see it as a 'failure', I think it was a learning experience that has helped me know better what I want in a relationship and what sort of tell-tale signs to look out for.

This blog is conversational, I want to hear about your stories, your experiences. I would like to be part of your grieving process. If would help get over him quicker and easier if you share. Don't keep it bottled up inside. I want to inspire anyone who is heartbroken and lost after a breakup. It could actually be the best thing in your life.

A lot of my knowledge and theories arise from watching movies, reading books, observing strangers in public, the internet and even stories from friends. I will not say that I know everything about relationships so if there is anything you'd like to share, do drop me an email at bunnybreakup@gmail.com

I'm excited to share this journey with you.

Ps: I love the banner I created and the cute strawberry background !
