Introductory Blog Post

I have finally created a blog to uphold the promise to myself that I will write regularly. I’m stating it here too to doubly ensure that I don’t break that promise- so if you’re reading this and it’s been over a month since I’ve uploaded then please feel free to chastise me in the comments.

I am someone who has seemingly always had far too much to say, which has made me incredibly appreciative of the little, personal soapbox that the internet has gifted everyone. Initially, I considered making a tiktok or youtube channel but I’m a bit camera shy so the idea of a blog really appealed to me. More importantly though, it will get me into the habit of writing regularly so I feel as though I’m killing two big birds with one stone.

I’m not sure who the audience for this will be. Being realistic- not pessimistic- it’s probably going to be no one, which is what’s quite nice about it. It’s private but never secret, like a journal that’s been left open on the kitchen table.

As for what I’m actually going to write about, I’m going to upload small observational/opinion pieces. However, as per the nature of a blog, it can be slightly more personal than what would normally be read in a newspaper. I might drop this conversational tone too. You’ll watch me figure it out, I suppose.
