Hello everyone!
Anyone?
Anyone? Bueller?
I'm not really sure what I intend to do with this blog ... I have no agenda, no specific topic to talk about, nothing to post other than the aimless wanderings of my mind poured out onto digital paper. Kinda narcissistic, isn't it? What was that twitter quote? Or that Venn diagram shirt? ... If those doesn't describe my generation, I don't know what does.
And I'll be damned if I'm going to miss out on all this self indulgence!!
In all seriousness, I was (implicitly) advised to start this blog to share my writings (something I do not do easily), and thereby step outside my comfort zone and grow a little. I was given this sage advice by a young woman whom I'm just starting to get to know ... I'll call her S. She's an amazing woman, and she knows it ... but she's not quite comfortable with me reminding her of her incredible awesomeness. Not that I blame her; genuine compliments can be so hard to accept, and I praise her way too often to be comfortable.
S, thank you (c:
I know how she feels too ... or at least I think I do. There are so many parts of myself that I do not like, either outright, or because they aren't yet developed to what I think they could/should be. When someone praises such a facet of me, it sounds/feels like pure flattery. And if the praise is genuine ... well, that's just downright confusing if you respect the praiser. I mean, you "can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work." She has a stronger, healthier self-love than I, that's for certain.
Well, that's all for now. I leave you with the solemn promise to post at least occasionally, when I feel like it. Maybe. Beyond that, I can guarantee nothing.
