I’d like to take this first post to explain why I have started this blog. Somewhere along the way in my adult life I decided to stop doing things for other people and so this journey of words is something I am choosing to do for myself. If anyone does happen to read what I post here I hope they find it relatable. I’m always open to conversation, as well.
I’d love for these posts to be just honestly me. If there’s something I do know about myself for sure it is that I am a blunt immodest individual. I think there will be a healthy mix of happy, sad, funny, angry, inquisitive, and inspired. I hope to offer my thoughts on my experiences that I feel passion in writing about in a non-forced positivity, brutally honest way.
By doing this I hope to create a common theme. I hope to come out of this a healthier individual with a better understanding of how to take life less-seriously. I hope to relate all of these things I write about back to how I define myself as an individual not based on the things that I like or choose to do with my time but the way in which I perceive them. I hope to invoke thought and discussion on important subjects that deserve my attention that I might otherwise overlook or forget about.
I feel like the way I have been taught to define myself as a person is not who I am and I don’t feel like the world is a black and white place.
I don’t feel that I was simply made to stretch and challenge myself as a youth only to grow up to make money, pay bills, and grow old. I don’t believe you can find yourself by simply waiting for the answers to come up and knock on your front door. So I’d like to sit down and take the time to consider the things happening in my life and in society that I’m not consistently focused on in hopes that I will learn something about myself, about society, or about those around me.
