It's been a week officially since I started this!!! Awesomeness! I'm actually really proud of myself because I always say I am going to start a journal, a blog, a whatever and I make it maybe a week before giving up. But I'm really proud of my weekiversary!!! *Side note: So I've heard of people celebrating b/c their relationship lasted a week...but like celebrating celebrating with flowers and a gift and a nice dinner and everything...I mean really? after a week!? Pretty sure that if it's only been "official" for like a week, you can't have had tons of "real" dates. I don't get it...a month maybe...but a week!?* Anyway, I've loved watching this blog over the week and seeing myself just kinda blurt what's been on my mind but I have definitely sorta had some sort of direction in the blogs I feel. Ok, probably not, but whatever.
Anyways, I'm glad I made it a week and I'm hopeful that I'll keep it going. Especially knowing the direction that I actually want the blog to go by the end. I'm excited to see my style evolve and just watch where it takes me. Yay! Although, even though I know where I want the blog to be at the end of the 366 days I mean it loosely. I want to be a better writer, be able to make my thoughts more cohesive, and just know myself better. I will not attempt to saw where I actually want to be at the end, i.e. location, school, job, etc.
Which kinda brings me to what I was thinking about writing about. Have you ever thought about nothing? In high school I had a teacher tell us to "write about nothing" in our journal entry for the day. *Side note: It may have been write about anything but it was sophmore year and that was 5 years ago* **Side note to side note: I kinda like the idea of side notes, do you? I think I'm gonna keep them going* So she told us to write about nothing or anything either one and I did. I literally sat there and described the word. We were given creative power. Normally it was things like "what was your reaction to character blah's reaction to event shaboogie" or "write about some of your goals for the future." You know, english and life related stuff. We were rarely given super broad topics. I kind of ran with this one. I'm not sure she was expecting it from me, but I think she liked it. It's crazy to think about the absence of anything or the existence of something. Thinking about what it directly links to and why and how is something that I like to think about it. It's also sort of deep too because you have to actually write about something that by definition cannot really have a definition. It's confusing and wonderful and amazing all at the same time. It's like a brain teaser that can't be solved and I like it. You could debate about it for eons and no one could ever really be wrong. Crazy right?
