So. It’s finally happening. 😁

I’m ACTUALLY WRITING A BLOG. 😊😁😱🤯🤓🥳

The over-thinker that I am, I have thought and re-thought this. Does the world really need another blog? Do I need to be the one adding one more to the giant pile of product-selling, unblinking, creepy-smiling, faux-woke blog bots? If I do add one more, will it be the tipping point? Will I enjoy that? 😏

Then I thought about who this is really for. It’s for me. I’m ready. I’m ready to have a voice, even it’s not heard, even if it’s just me on a lone rock shouting my truth into the sea of liars. 😂

I need to this because I’ve been quiet too long, just been floating through life, numb but angry like a cloud that thunders but refuses to rain. I’m ready to pour. And I think I have some interesting stories to share. Maybe someone out there will connect to the things I have felt and feel less alone, and maybe I’ll feel less alone too.

This is like my birth on a blog – it was painful coming out with it, a lot of yelling and crying while I contemplated on what to write about my life, I slept on it most of the time, and now I’m finally opening my eyes and saying my first words and taking my first steps. I’ll stumble and fall and feel the world around me and learn. I’ll develop opinions, I’ll go back on those opinions and form new ones and restart all over again. Cool analogy, huh? I have a lot of those, I’m actually famous among my friends for coming up with them. 😛

So since lists are a big thing here on the internet, here is a list of things I want this blog to be:

1. A place to be vulnerable, leave judgement behind, just share without fear.
2. My place to process things, accept mistakes, learn from them as well as celebrate victories and revelations.
3. A place with a lot of emojis, like an unapologetic amount, A LOT. Deal with it. 🤓
4. My creative outlet, a place to share my musings about life on this weird planet, as well as stories from my imagination.
5. Sharing what I learn from my adventures with you, my reader💙.

At the same time here is a list of things I don’t want this blog to be;

1. A how-to guide of any sort for anyone – think of this as a story of a girl, maybe it inspires sometimes, other times it’s a cautionary tale. It is NOT a life to model yours after.
2. A place to get 1 right opinion – this is not a place that claims to have the right answer (because for most things in life, there isn’t 1 right way) – it’s just a place where I share my attempts at finding a right answer for myself.
3. A place to JUST sell things – I think we have enough of those don’t you think? 🙄 If I use a product or service and I like it, then and only I might put a link to it, but I certainly become a channel for another marketing manager somewhere (I’m a marketing manager myself so trust me, I know how it works😝).

Phew. Okay enough with the disclaimers, they bore me. Let’s Begin! 🍻
