Trebuchet is the new Georgia
A new blog is definitely a new opportunity for a new font.
Georgia was a trademark for Pink Smarties, and I've already overused Courier and Helvetica.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that this is my new space. After four years of writing Pink Smarties Blog, it was beginning to feel like a time capsule. Amongst the walls of my Blogspot page lay so many memories of times gone by. Some of them were happy memories; snapshots frozen in time and words that held more meaning than I could say. Others were not so happy. Passive aggressive words formed so eloquently that
if you
over
a few
lines
they might
begin to look like
a
poem.
Maybe the hurt was obvious. Maybe it was clear who I was speaking to. The moments held within that web page sometimes bring pain to look back on. Other times that feeling is joy and other times feelings that I do not have the words to explain. Perhaps that is part of the reason why I have decided to privatise Pink Smarties. It is a decision that took a lot of thought, but one that I know, in my heart, is the right thing to do. I have grown acres apart from the person I was at thirteen and my blog tells that story to the world as if it is not mine at all. Sometimes, a private life is the happiest one. I know that my journey to the person I am today is documented over hundreds of posts, of which I feel no need to display on the internet.
Here's to a new chapter and a new page of the story, written in Trebuchet typeface.
