I've tried starting a blog before. Maybe it was the pressure to be interesting all the time or the crippling self-doubt that I just was not very interesting to begin with, but I quickly abandoned it after two posts. Maybe the pressure of keeping up an image was just too much for me at the time. The fact that people could track me down and see just exactly what was going on in my head was completely frightening. Which is why I'm currently anonymous and don't have any connections to social media with this blog so... it's my time to be totally honest with the Internet:
I love you Internet. You make my bad days wonderful with your stupid pictures and inspiring stories. I lose myself in this vast world to be explored within your depths. I have a naturally curious mind that hungers for intellectual stimulation and while you provide that you also relax my mind to the point of stupor. There's so much to learn; whether most of it is inconsequential or essential is dependent on the person.
I've made some of the worst decisions on the Internet. I also don't know how my life would be without it.
Without you I wouldn't have known how big a world there is around me or how small it can seem to kindred hearts. My mind is constantly stimulated by the endless flow of ideas and information that comes streaming into you day after day, hour by hour, minute by minute. The information that informs us and shapes our reality.
I want in on that stream.
So here I am. Writing this pretentious little blog post with this vocabulary that is at the same time my own, but at the same time borrowed. I hope that some people will read this and find themselves. Hopefully to add another into the fold of like-minded individuals in the constant ebb and flow of information and emotion as I add them into mine.
There's so much to say.
But for that I'm going to need a lot more blog posts.
So here's to the first blog post. *clink* *chug*
Let's do this.
