Dabbling in new territory

I've been blogging on and off on various websites since I've became more tech-savvy (around Grade 7, which is many years ago). I used Xanga, then Wordpress, and now dipping my toes in the Blogspot/Blogger zone.

A little about myself; I'm currently completing my undergrad, I have resided in Canada my whole life, and I have a dog named Tofu. Which reminds me, I should probably explain my blog name.

Tofu = my dog. Here is a photo.


Yeah, likely not what you expected? I get that a lot. Maybe I'll explain the story behind it one day, but for now, Tofu being his name is all you need to know.

Tofu Walls = blank walls. Apparently it was a term one of my friend's architecture professor used.
As something you would want to avoid.

For me... I have always had a love/hate relationship with blank canvases. So much potential, but also so much pressure. Ideas and thoughts never turn out as you expect, leading to disappointment. I had always loved art as a child but only took art class one summer when I was around seven. So in high school, I took at least 1-3 art classes each year. Visual arts, photography, graphic design, I loved them all, but it didn't mean I was good at it. Blank walls intimidate me for the very reason they excite me; so much potential but for failure as well as for success.

So this blog will be my blank canvas, and I will slowly fill it with bits and pieces of my life and what interests me. Don't be a stranger!
