I keep considering different directions to begin this first entry, like, trying different quotes that depict the debate I had with myself over starting a blog, or attempting to start off with an interesting topic that may lead in to how I finally convinced myself to write today. Truthfully, there is no way to make this sound any better and I am even having trouble accepting the fact that I wanted to do this, but ultimately I feel good about it. I have been reading many blogs lately, mostly written by people I know. I began to realize that I like the idea for the same reason that I am sure many others do. A blog can be your very own. I appreciate that you can write whatever you wish, even if no one will want to read it (which, lets face it, is more then likely). My blog will be mostly as titled, personal revelations and periodic interests. These general topics are what I intended to indulge on, to start myself off.
My revelations are going to, hopefully,stay pretty general. I am not here trying to write about my personal issues and how I have worked through them or how i need to. I do not want this blog to be a tell all for anyone to read. I will also be trying not to include my daily life, this is not my journal. I suppose I could walk through my days as I blog, but I am pretty sure I would easily bore myself. My days are quite repetitive and more then likely uneventful. Revelations that I usually want to share tend to be some sort of new understandings, simple realizations that I may have over analyzed, or any kind of accepting/understanding I think I have come to. I will be honest and say this first, I will not be surprised when I get a bit carried away.I intend to keep the blog in some sort of direction, but, this could quickly change.
Knowing that I might venture outside of my "strictly general revelations" guideline is exactly why the title includes my periodic interests. As i said before, what I like about blogs is that it can be whatever you want it to be, just as this blog will be what I want. If I know myself like I think I do, I will more then likely take some unplanned turns depending on my mood day-to-day. I apologize in advance for the following possible occurrences: experimental poetry, random rants about my day, short stories about things I find funny, stories about things that may have happened, and stories about daily decision i find interesting, posts of links/videos/tales that my dad keeps forwarding me, confusing/concerning mood swings, or neglect for the blog in general. Basically, all that i am trying to say is that this is what it is.
I am going to try to keep in mind that someone might actually be reading this! With that said, I will try my best to write on general and relatable topics for the most part. I do hope if anyone does read this, especially if it is someone who knows me, that when I do venture out and write about my daily life, or a feeling of some sort, that concern is not immediately dropped.When I have written in the past, my thoughts have tended to worry the people I am close to, probably because I do not always express them. Keep in mind they are just thoughts. Any revelations will more then likely change after some new experience, or even after giving it some time. I will enjoy constructive criticism and comments of any sort, in fact I hope for it! If I can spark any sort of discussion or if i get any sort of reaction I am sure it will make me more then excited. I will do my best to keep an open mind. Now, I believe I have said all I intended to say. I have dared to blog, and i belive this could turn out well!
Well this was an interesting first blog. I have just begun reading blogs tonight actually and happened to find this one. I don't promise to be an avid reader, actually the opposite will most likely be true. I will read when I feel like it and when i am interested in hearing what you think about whatever you think about on whatever day I read. That being said, I look forward to your future blogging. I think this was a wonderful way to start.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Jamie... It's me! Your sister! You covered everything I was thinking when I read this... First thought, "Okay Jamie, you obviously think you're special that people are going to take time to read this" You covered that you understand most people won't! and I thought... "What about your journal" Haha! you covered that too! This is not your journal. Good luck! And if you write anything crazy I won't be taking your advice, I'll probably bombard you right when you get home! Love you! =)
ReplyDeleteHey Jamie! It's Madsy, your other sister :p blogs are fun, I had one but only kept it up for like a month! I'll read it though....and may possibly post nonsensicle comments from my iphone that will have terrible grammar and spelling cuz this thing is just stupid for typing. And I think sometimes you should post recipes and pics of food you make. That would be fun. =)
ReplyDeleteHaha Carly! Iwas definitely thinking of you a bit when I typed this out. Just can not wait to be bombarded, sarcasm btw =).
ReplyDeleteMadsy thats a really good idea! I will definitely do that! Thanks!
