Welcome to the Blog!
I’ve been putting off writing the introductory post of this blog for too long I fear. To be honest with you, I am terrible at anything resembling an “about me” post. Summarizing myself is incredibly difficult; I feel like I’m constantly changing, and how I describe myself today will be different than how I describe myself in a month. But! I realized that I can just write anything as my introduction! This is just the first step forward to getting to where I really want to be—writing about literally anything I want to.
I find myself writing essays in my head that I wish I could capture and share with the world, but I have trouble capturing my thoughts. Realizing one day that I type pretty quickly, I sat down and let out a stream of consciousness about how it was difficult to write text for my personal website. After writing a few paragraphs, I realized how easy it was to let my thoughts out into words. I always hating writing essays in school, because I would focus on making sure every single word was perfect. Since I always waited until the last minute due to undiagnosed ADHD, I never had time to do a second draft, so I had to make sure it was perfect the first time. Freedom from the constraints of the education system has made me realize that I actually enjoy writing!
What I hope to accomplish though this blog is to give my interests and thoughts a place to live. I do a lot of research on the hyperfixations that come and go, but I don’t often have a place to store my findings. Some topics of interest are alchemy and the occult in general, foraging and botany, as well as music and art. But I’m finding new things every day!
So, there you have it, something I can post so I can stop worrying about getting this blog rolling. The best step is to begin!
