This is the first of what will become yet another outlet for my thoughts, opinions, braggings (not a word, but it fits), etc. I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while now. I needed a place to bring my thoughts into the physical world without being limited to 6 seconds (Vine), 140 characters (Twitter), a square image (Instagram), or get lost among my weird sarcasm and romantic reblogs (Tumblr); a real word blog is just what I need. I've been inspired by a few women whose blogs I've been reading (elliequent.com and blissbranch.wordpress.com and various others I haven't really kept up with). I use the other social media outlets often, yet none of them allow me to really express my thoughts alone, they're always accompanied by an image or video.
I am not currently in school, I dropped out of acting school 9 months ago and have been working a part time job since then. I have plans to return to school, but that has been postponed due to my own procrastination which has been caused by self imposed stress over not having a car. Having a car shouldn't seem like that big of a deal, but just thinking about having to get to school and work by depending on public transportation and those who do have cars just stresses me out. I like being independent (also I really like having control over things like arriving on time), so not having a car kills me in that sense. So, to some, all I am right now is a useless young adult doing nothing with their time but working a stupid job and not using her brain. I filled out my application for the closest community college in my city, am saving up money for a car, and have started this blog... I think that's pretty productive, no? Some say no. Well, I say yes.
I'm not quite sure what this blog will turn out to be, if anything, all I know is I wanted a fresh place to reflect on my own decisions, experiences, and just sort my thoughts, because I really do need that. As of right now, I am a 20 year old living in Southern California who has a part time job at a make-up store, spends her free time listening to music, rotating social media apps, texting her best friend, and spends all her money on concert tickets and food. So, here we go.
