I’m finally getting somewhere with my website. It’s still bare-bones but it’s got enough meat on it to know what it’s about and what I like to do. Putting myself out into the world at its total mercy is something I literally cannot stand. I don’t like knowing or even thinking there are people out there reading my work, reading about me. I’m not that interesting, although if I truly believed that to be the case then I wouldn’t be working so hard on a personal website to share myself and my uniqueness with the world. I want to share my knowledge. I read so much and take in so many different points of view and sources that I pick up on patterns and view things in a nuanced and objective way that can bring people together. Well that’s a hell of a bold claim and egotistical on my part, but I’m not sure how else to put it.
I’m just going to keep being myself and doing what I can to be seen, but humbly. I’m just a girl (28 yr old woman) learning more about herself and trying to share it in the process with the hope that it reaches the right people, the right way. As isolated as I’ve been, the way I’ve grown up, the lines of work I’ve had to be in, all push me more and more to share what I write. Who knows what power my words may hold. I know they’re powerful. I also know that I know nothing and no one should ever listen to me or follow whatever I have to say. Please follow yourself, come to your own conclusions, thoughts, and opinions. And live freely, out loud, and don’t give a shit about what others say or think about you. Nothing matters but living a good, happy, fulfilling life.
