So, this marks a new beginning for me. I've never been a blogger, nor have I ever thought of becoming one. However, something instead of me urged me to try this. And if I have learned one thing in the past few months, it is this: Things Change.
If you know me, you probably already know that I despise change. I like the comfort of what I know. With change comes uncertainty of what lies ahead, and I'm just not one of those people who doesn't like not know what the next step is or where the path is going to lead you. To be honest, it is not only that I hate change, but I'm afraid of it. I won't deny that. However, with all that being said I am learning to accept change, and maybe, just maybe beginning to like the idea of it, but that may be a reach.
One thing about myself that most people can easily see is that I'm an introvert. I always have been. I've never been the social butterfly, the extremely outgoing girl who makes friends where ever she goes and isn't afraid to be in the spot light. No, that girl is my younger sister. I am the complete opposite. I'm quiet, and a hard person to read. I hate being the center of attention. I rarely express my feelings, in fact, I am quite good a hiding my feelings from those around me. (Although, I am beginning to realize that this may not be the best thing for me). Expressing myself is hard, but it is something I need to do, for myself (and maybe my sanity...). I have always loved writing, and found that I could more easily express myself using that as an outlet. So that is where the idea of starting a blog came from. I'll admit, I have a whole folder of blogs bookmarked that my friends write and I love reading them every day to see what new things are going on in their lives, and what words of wisdom they have to help get me through the day. They inspired me. When starting a blog, many people say they want to share their lives and experiences with others. That is partially true on my end, but more this blog is for me. (sorry to be selfish.....). It's my way to express the thoughts that are hidden ever so deeply in the back of my silent mind. It's an expression of feelings, the words that I thought I could never say, the dreams and hopes that I have for myself and others, and the random thoughts that pop in my mind on a day to day basis. It's simply just me.
Now I can't promise that I will be one of those people who update their blog daily. Because that probably won't be the case...... #busylifeofastudent. But maybe. We'll just have to wait and see.
