Hey everyone,
So we're doing a project in my English class where we started a blog to keep track of a research assignment that we are in the middle of, and got me thinking about how much I love to write; but how I don't like writing about topics I'm required to write about.
I like to be free. To know that I can express myself without dreading whether I'm going to get a good grade or not. Somehow, in the midst of life, I stopped doing the things in life that I really love. I had a tumblr, but slowly let it fall to the wayside. However, even in that blog I found myself unable to express my real opinions, and I began to wonder why. I started to think about my life and those around me. I thought about how my behaviors, actions, words, thoughts, emotions, you name it are different depending on who I am around. I noticed that this was similar with almost anyone I know and it boggles my mind. Why do we feel the need to act a certain way? Are we all really that desperate to fit in? And if we were all truly ourselves, would we still have the same people around us that we do now?
Anyways. That's the premise of me starting this blog. I want to go back to the basics. To talk about things that really interest me and maybe even others. I'm not trying to do anything spectacular, just trying to be myself.
