Unwrittn

I’ve been thinking long and hard about how to introduce myself. Probably more than I need to. I am, after all, but one of many writers who gets to that point in their life and thinks ‘I should start a personal blog.’ Well, I guess that time in my life is now. 

There have been many times in my life that I’ve tried to start a personal blog – at 13, at 15, at 20, but each time I published my first piece, I’d take it down 30 minutes later and tried to scrub the internet of any record of my writing being out there. It’s funny how the fear, shame and embarrassment set in as soon as I did something marginally vulnerable.

I really thought I’d missed the boat on living out my Carrie Bradshaw dreams, but it turns out there’s no expiration date on pursuing your passions. (And I started to wonder…)

If I’m being honest, I can’t say for certain that every other time I tried I was showing up authentically and placing the focus on what I wanted to get out there, vs what I thought other people would want to read. So maybe this time will be different. I trust that the people who resonate with the things I say will find me. 

I guess it’s true that if you feel a calling for something early in life, it will just keep calling. 

Alas, we’re here now. I wish I could divulge more information as to what this personal blog will be about, but in truth, I don’t know myself. I guess we will discover as we go along, and assemble the many pieces of my brain into a coherent stream. 

I address this to the probable masses that will be reading this, and hope that the fame doesn’t get to my head too quickly. But of course, as a writer with an already inflated ego, I can’t be sure. 

Until next time,
