Bypassing Wordpress
Posted on April 3rd, 2012 at 10:46 AM EST
I spent a bit of time thinking about this, but I've decided that I'm going to skip over Wordpress and go back to what I had initially done with Dream Aura, make my own custom CMS. I know it's nothing new and hundreds upon thousands of people have done it before me, but I think it would serve a better purpose if I went ahead and did it on my own once again. At the very least, I'll get a better understanding of developing these systems once again. I'm definitely a bit rusty at it.
Do You Ever Feel Like Time Slipped By?

I some times find it hard to believe just how much time has passed since I had first started working on Dream Aura. It's almost been 6 years and along the way and being the naive college student with no ideas, plans or dreams of what to do, this was definitely something of a weird hobby and interest. Initially, it was just something to fill the time, to fill the void of not having the same comforts I had previously, even the difficulties of dealing with a breakup, but I've come a long way since then. I've learned a lot, experienced life differently and I can't really say that I'm that same person anymore. I had come to believe that I was the dreamer and that what ever I came up with, I'll make it happen. But that's just the thing with a dream, it's fleeting. It was a figment of your imagination, random thoughts you had while you're asleep and how often have you awaken, thought nothing of it and went on as if nothing ever changed? I've come across this several times in my life, and I had never been able to follow through on just about any of the dreams I've had. But that's just it, Full Sail University was a dream, and I made it a reality and back then, I didn't see it. I was too caught up in my own problems instead of chasing what really mattered and I let all those dreams slip by without a thought and while many of those dreams are gone and I'll never get them back, there are still many other dreams that I can still follow and even they're not much now, I believe that they'll get me some where. It's all a matter of just doing it. Getting Dream Aura back on track is that first step and hopefully, it'll last this time.
