Not an Introduction

The first post on a blog is typically the worst. They are almost always introductions, with excess information of one’s personality and likes and dislikes and detailed explanations of what to expect from the blog. I, for one, hate introductions; I hate telling new people my name and I can’t stand it when people who don’t know my name and call me “girl”, so for those of you out there who don’t know me, I’ll be known to you as Me (that is the best name I could come up with). If I were to introduce myself in an elaborate way I would be writing for hours and you would probably exit my blog after the first paragraph, but, luckily for you, I refuse to state my whole self in one post. I believe that you get to meet a person, and truly know them the longer you are around them, so therefore, you will learn more about me through my posts, rather than in only one. The one thing I will tell you right off the bat, is that I am not very fond of blogging – yet. It feels weird to pour out my thoughts, and share them, with an infinite number of unknown people and a handful of known ones. But I guess all it takes is time for me to finally open myself up to the world.  

I have started this blog (not really because I wanted to, but because it was asked of me as a class assignment) and I am honestly not sure what to write in it. I find it impossible to think of a single topic that I can constantly talk about. I guess I’ll write about myself (not about who I am, I don’t like doing that: please refer to paragraph one) about my life, and how my experiences have shaped who I am and who I’ll become (yes I know exactly how cheesy that sounded, but bear with me). (This next part of the post might sound completely off topic, but I promise it is relevant) Don’t you just hate it when people give you those “get to know you!” surveys? I’ll take them if I’m asked to, but you won’t ever see me filling one out on my free time. Or isn’t answering the question “Who are you?” annoying? I mean, how on earth is a person supposed to answer that question so that the listener won’t get bored? It sounds so easy to answer when in reality it is the most complex question I’ve ever heard. I don’t think anyone ever really knows the answer to that question, because no one can possibly know everything about themselves without having any doubts (or without leaving any questions on the surveys blank). I guess, to all of you out there, we will be finding who I am together (because I am not sure I can answer the question “Who are you?” right now).

Sincerely,
