What I Want My Blog To Be Known For

I'm coming up to my 400th blog post very soon, and there's something quite magical and terrifying about the fact that I've created such a vast body of work. It'll be pretty great to be able to look back on in years to come. Or super embarrassing? I dunno. My first few months of blog posts make me cringe now. But either way, it's here; and I'm really glad.
I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want my blog to be known for, or how you guys see me/this blog as a whole. I obviously only have limited control over this; but still it's pretty interesting to think about anyway!

1. FUN. Yep, I'd like this blog to be known as a fun place. As a blog where I can make you laugh, take you along on my adventures and encourage you to take life by the balls!
2. THOUGHTFULNESS. I'm not saying I'd be the next philosopher of our time... mostly I just ramble about things that don't even matter. But I would love people to see this as a place of sharing my thoughts, musing on subjects that interest me, and maybe sparking an interesting conversation.
3. CREATIVITY/INSPIRATION You must have seen this one coming, right? Of course I want this to be a creative space! I want people to visit and feel inspired no matter how creative they are (or aren't!). I'd love to know people feel motivated when they visit Dorkface, and willing to try out some fun DIY's.
4. ENCOURAGEMENT. I consciously try to encourage people in positive ways all the time, but I hope that I'm expressing this enough on this blog. Whether it be trying out something new, coming out of your comfort zone or really going for your dreams; I hope I can encourage people to go for whatever makes them happiest!
5. HONESTY. I write from the heart whatever the subject, and this is something that is SO important to me. I really hope this is something my blog could be known for, and that you'll trust I'd never be swayed by temptations to twist things or lie. We see this happening a fair bit in blogging, youtube, etc; which is a shame. But I promise to always stay true on Dorkface.

Here's hoping you guys think this blog is at least one of those things! :) What would you like to be known for?
