Ideality

Welcome! so i first found the word Ideality when i was looking for a name for my photography business....i didn't want a stupid name and i wanted something that means something....so i searched DICTIONARY.COM of all places. AND i also used the thesaurus....and i think i typed in creative or something...and it started listing words like ideal.....and then BAM ideality. I loved it. it was perfect. and it means everything i could hope to explain to you. 

1.a conception of something that is perfect, esp that which one seeks to attain.





I like to make things as beautiful, and as perfect as possible. Everything. im talking even situations. i am such a perfectionist. And im all about the details. Well...as long as it doesn't cause me major anxiety:) This is such a large part of me....it takes over ME sometimes...so that is the little explanation of why this blog is called Ideality and me.

So basically this blog will be a collection of my thoughts and ideas and things that i think make my world a utopia. and stuff that doesn't.
