The Journey Begins — An Introduction

"Every Journey Begins With A Single Step, But You Can Never Finish If You Don't Start."

Once upon a time, there was a relatively young bear who was heading out on a Journey...

Wait a second, let's back up some and start over again.

First of all, I would like to say "Hello" and welcome you to my blog - A Bear's Journey - and give a quick introduction on myself and what this blog is all about. 

A Bear's Journey is a simple blog about the least simple thing I know - Life. To be more precise it's more than less about my own life, but also about the lives that swirl around and interact with my own from time to time.

My attempt here is to be as transparent as possible while sharing thoughts and concerns and ideas as they are, without too much makeup on top. In other words, if you thought this was another beauty blog, you couldn't be more wrong. But none the less - I hope you enjoy this.

Second, what's all this 'Bear' talk about anyways? Bears don't write!

To explain to you why I chose to name my blog 'A Bear's Journey' I must first introduce myself properly by name. My name is Bjørnar Kristensen, and I'm a twenty-six year old guy from Norway. Bjørnar is actually a really old name, and has its roots from the old scandinavian languages and means "bear's" in plural. Now I think its fair to say that since I've (obviously) chosen to write this blog in english, rather than my native language Norwegian, that my choice of name gives a better way of communicating. Let's face it - I've never met a non-norwegian speaking person who could come even close to pronouncing my name correctly, so the choice was easy. Bear :)

Now that I'm writing about it, I actually had to laugh some, as my resemblance to a bear falls short  right after my name.

I'm more thin than big. I'm not exactly furry, and I'm probably less intimidating than a below average sized chihuahua. Although I can be heard for miles if I chose to and I do really enjoy fish!

Now thag we've established who I am and that I'm infact NOT really a bear, what will I be presenting you in terms of subjects and topics to read about and why do I even have this blog in the first place?

As for why, I guess I am sort of "stuck" in a place right now, and I'm wanting to see some real positive change in my life and I would like to document it. As for topics the list is long, but the main topics I know I'll be writing about is self improvement for guys and documenting my own personal struggles to getting closer to my goals. So I will focus on my up's and down's, thoughts and ideas that I have in my daily life, but I hope that along this journey a more foreseeable path or niche will show itself. 

For now this is my journey, but you are more than welcome to tag along if you want to.
