What's in a name?
According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).
Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.

Bohemian like you (65/100)
This afternoon I went to a poetry reading in a funky, alternative suburb. A member of my writing group was the featured poet. I may have been to a poetry reading once in uni, but I don't remember any specifics. There were a few stereotypical characters at this one: an older man wearing round blue spectacles, over which he layered his reading glasses (atypically he sported a suit tailored with a hole to reveal the tattoo on his back); a woman who read in a sleep-inducing monotone and several people too terrified to get up on stage. Overall, though, it was surprisingly unterrible. As another friend who went commented to our featured friend, 'I'm glad you didn't suck!' Today's excursion served to prove that stereotypes do exist in real life even if they are poor form in fiction, and to add some novelty and culture to an otherwise nondescript weekend.
