So, typically I don’t really post a lot of well, things about me on tumblr. And I feel like I want to change that.
Not so much I want to tell tumblr everything about me- that sounds like it could end badly- but more I want to take time from my days and write a little bit about interesting stuff that happened to me, things I’ve been thinking about, that sort of thing. Pretty much like an actual typed up daily vlog. Originally known as a proper blog, I guess!
It’s just that I’m in my second last year of highschool, the first year of highest pressure, the first year of the stress of this could affect my future sort of thing. It’s dumb to let myself get wound up on that, I know, but just the expectations I feel I need to live up to leave me quite stressed. I think reflecting on good things and writing~ oh sweet, beloved writing!~ might help me relax a little more. And there is also the fact I’m a forgetful clutz, and I want to be able to look back at something when I’m old and suddenly remember what it was like to be in this moment, typing away on my phone, making a heck tonne of spelling mistakes that I know I’m going to meticulously comb through and correct before posting and remember that I had a good day today. I didn’t fuck up the solo I had in band after my third attempt. Heck, it sounded good on the third attempt. I want to remember that I laughed so hard I blushed scarlet and could feel the heat of it when we were talking about paint balling and Rory made a staggeringly excellent point in maths supported study. I want to remember the little things.
And so I’m starting today. I’m going to write a post about every day for the next year. Maybe not on that day, but I’m going to do it, starting now. I’m going to write one starting from Saturday, because whilst I know I shouldn’t need time goals or whatever to ensure I do things, I feel like it’ll encourage me to complete this, I feel like starting on a new year of getting older for me is the right thing to do.
I don’t really know what to call this yet, but it’s exciting. Punctuation will be terrible, spelling will be abysmal, weird Scottish words will be used, and I am a terrible story teller. But it’s going to be fun, and I am excited! So for now, I’m calling this 17Supreme because why not, and I’ll tag stuff so people (you poor few who follow me, I love you very much and apologise for my chattering in advance) can avoid it if needed. But yeah, excitement! Dear lord I should be doing homework or something right now *sleepingprobs* but I’m just happy. And have probably consumed too much sugar.
An eloquent start to a wonderful project and chapter in life, I’m sure.
