How to Start a Blog

Chapter 1 - How to start a blog

"In recent news a new blog is sweeping over the nation and invading the minds of youths and elderly alike. The overpowering response from the public has the media up in a roar of chaos, and the United States Government in a panic over what this might do to their pull in society."

I wish. That was just a literary device often called an attention grabber, but I do have high hopes. 

Now that I have your attention, I'd like to announce the creation of my blog. I'm trying to figure life out, and thought this might help. This is going to be diary style, meets informative information, meets whatever else I decided to mix in. This can be entertainment for you, and an outlet for me. My journey is just beginning and I want to let others join as I write about my experiences along the way. The figurative journey of life, that is. I'm not actually going anywhere.....yet.

I'm not really sure how personal I plan on being, so for now. I decided that my name is not necessary to include in this blog. A name is not who I am. A name is a chain that society hangs from your neck at birth. A name is what people hide behind on a job application, or when they first meet someone. It's the first impression you make. "Hello, my name is___.", is the start of many things.You want me to give you a key to who I am, a clue to my face, a name. Instead I want to represent what I am beyond that. Hello, I'm a complex individual, with strong values, and a lot of opinions. I am a sister, a daughter, a cousin, a friend. A lover of the beach, reading, writing, and media. I am passionate, composed, thoughtful, moral, loyal, excitable, a visionary, and an idealist. I am anxious, stubborn, secretive, heard headed, picky, manipulative, and my own worst enemy. Love me or hate me.

I would describe myself as multidimensional, in a particular sense. I am interested in many things, but my passions and interests are specific, for my passions are driven by interest and desire. I can not interest myself. Instead, I wait to be interested, and run with it. I like to have many different plans, experiences, and encounters. I enjoy exploring and I do not fear the unknown. I tend to give reason to crazy dreams based on the premise that you don't know how something will turn out if you don't give it a try. People often judge this life style, but I have no regrets so far. Something I do fear is having regrets. Most of all I fear the regret of not listening to my heart. One of my worst nightmares is that one day the opinions and doubts of others will kill my ambition and drown my dreams. It begins with me repressing the cries of my heart, as it screams out from the depths of my soul, and rips at my chest. I feel the twisting and churning of waiting sorrows, and I am fighting a loosing battle against society.  Every day we fight a futile war against life. Few of us come out swinging, but those who fought to accomplish their dreams is enough to fuel my imagination. If in a great misfortune my dreams all die, this blog can be proof that they did live, once upon a time. Although, I hope that doesn't happen, and we all live happy ever after instead.
