I’m Ariel. Wait, is it proper blogging etiquette to expose your real name?
Hm. I’ve always questioned my ability to start a blog.
The thing is. I think I should be good at blogging. I certainly have many things to say/write/think about, but these are also what hinder my blogging-bilities. I over-analyze and think about everything and nothing. If I like you I will talk to you continuously non-stop about…everything and nothing. And I write…about everything and nothing. I like writing in general, and even if I’m writing something I hate, such as a cover letter or a business project for school, I end up writing excessively over the limit.
Since I overly express myself all the time (which I can feel myself do now in this introductory post…), there will probably be moments of “tmi” and moments where I have to repeatedly cut down each of my blog post. But I guess it’s time to overcome my fears. Don’t judge my writing too much though, I have enough academic and work tasks in my life that I won’t put in half as much effort here to make myself sound smart, sophisticated and grammatically-correct. What I think is what I shall write!
Hmm…I don’t know if my self-deprecating words were the best way to start a blog. I mean, look at the title, 21 and ready to live! Such optimism that contradicted the rest of my post. But it’s true, I am 21 now, and I’m not getting any younger! At this milestone, some people go skydiving, some people celebrate their legality and travel around the world, I choose to start a blog. Hey, let’s talk in 20 years, when I have my life documented and you’re forgetting your youth, we’ll see who’s laughing then! (sometimes I can’t even tell myself if I’m being sarcastic or not)
Am I supposed to have a specification for a blog? Because I don’t really have one yet. Maybe I’ll grow into something…maybe not. As a preview, these are some unfiltered words currently in my mind that will probably translate into future posts: food, debatable topics, random facts, clothes/makeup/yoga/celebrity gossip/girly things, quirky news, marketing/advertising/sales (my whole resume just popped into my brain), music, facebook, the internet, funny videos/pictures/people/words, coupons and deals (they really excite me), movies, shows, interesting but useless facts…………I either got your full attention now or you have just sworn to yourself to never click on my blog again.
