I Finally Wrote a Blog Post

Um... clears throat

Uhhh, yeah... is this thing on?

It's been some time. A long time. I don't write much anymore, so I'm way out of practice. A dual major in English and Journalism burned me out in the writing department, and journaling doesn't really count—that shit is just me doodling or writing "I'm hella anxious today" just about every day.

Anyways—here I am, asking you to give a shit enough to read my musings on a website that took me over a decade to finally put together. It's still not even done, but what can you do.

I'm sitting in the passenger seat on a drive from Waukegan, Illinois, back home to Saint Louis. I find that my creativity strikes whenever I'm on a drive. However, most times I'm driving, so I make the typical mistake of, "I'll write this down when I get a chance! Of course I'll remember! How can I forget this brilliant idea!"

I couldn't tell you one single idea I've had in the car because PLOT TWIST: I forgot.

So here I am, typing away in the hopes that my innate creativity still exists somewhere just burrowed deep in the confines of my anxious brain, ready to come forth during this drive so I can FINALLY write a decent blog post, and I can FINALLY post it, and then I can FINALLY advertise my mostly-done website.

FINALLY.

Anyone else with ADHD struggle with that too? You can't do something until steps 1, 2, and 3 are complete, and then you never get around to finishing those steps, and then next thing you know - it’s been ten years since you graduated undergrad and you’re rotting in bed, again, watching Superstore for the umpteenth time because America Ferrera is your She-ro, living in Saint Louis, just trying to get ahead in her career.

Well, audience—I present to you my blog.

What will become of it? I have no fucking idea.

A mixture of photo dumps, random musings on art/TV shows/experiences, and maybe some poetry because I got poems rummaging around my mind that deserve to live somewhere.

Maybe I'll write all the time. Maybe I'll disappear for six months and come back like nothing happened. Seems on brand.

But the website exists. The blog exists. I wrote the damn first post.

FINALLY.
