a proclamation!

the proclaiming of simple loves. this blog was originally to be named "a diary of simple loves," but as a tossed in bed, my mind turned and played with ideas, seeming to be most awake just when the day was ready to sleep. what does it mean to proclaim something? and why did i decide that this word should be included in my title?
well... to start off, let's look at the definition.
proclamation |ˌpräkləˈmā sh ən|noun:a public or official announcement, esp. one dealing with a matter of great importanceor even better:• a clear declaration of something : the proclamation of his passion

i have always had a romantic idea of "proclaiming." it is probably due to the fact that i was born into this world a hopeless romantic, and my first association with the word came from love stories in which handsome, passionate men proclaimed their undying love to the world. they knew how how they felt, and they didn't hesitate to let it be known.if you are to proclaim something, you say it, and you want people to hear. it is a matter of importance -- something you are passionate about. something that is so bursting from inside that it can no longer be contained, but instead must be let out to bask in the glory of the sun, of the world.

yes, it is all very dramatic, and at first my blog title may come off as some sort of inner dilemma. a proclamation of simple loves? as i was saying above, when you proclaim, it is something you want to shout to world, something that makes you want to grab the collar of the person listening and yell until you have proven your point. but why such passion for simple loves? why the effort? they make up everyday life and can easily be passed with a simple nod of recognition.my simple loves, though small, though sometimes insignificant to other, are the world to me. literally. they build me from the ground up, shaping and molding the person i have become. they tug at my heartstrings and tempt my soul. a good book, a great lover, an insightful conversation with a dear friend... these are the pure, real joys of life, the aspects that take you from moment to moment, from day to day. the loves that fill your life and give it meaning.
so why not proclaim them to the world!? as you proclaim those loves, you proclaim yourself as well.
