Post College

I graduated and feel totally unprepared. I have a day job that pays the bills, but I would love to start writing again. Honestly, I just want to tell stories about people: how they navigate the world, how they see the world, why they do what they do, and just who they are in general.

By now, it should be clear that I don't know what I'm doing. My last actual blog post was in July of 2020…

I have this crippling fear of starting something by simply starting it and an unrealistic view of people's expectations.  

You know that scene from Perks Of Being A Wallflower when they drive through the tunnel and have that euphoric feeling of the universe while David Bowie plays on the radio…well, my brain keeps telling me, "just wait for that moment, and then you can start creating." If I continue to listen to that lie, then I'll never do anything. So here's to doing it, even if it doesn’t feel like standing up in the back of a truck going 60 mph.

I'm going to start casual conversations with strangers, then post about it on Instagram. It's not much, but it's a step in the right direction. I hope to start more extensive projects better suited for the blog platform soon.
