The Start
June 1st, 2016
So this is my first entry into this writing challenge. I figured a bit of an introduction sort of deal, as opposed to something else is the best way to go about it. Not all of these are going to be journal entries of course but, this being the first one, I think it works. Writing is something I enjoy, it’s something I’ve been doing since second grade, when I had my “reading breakthrough” of sorts. Well, my second round of second grade. Yes, I was held back a year because of my poor reading and writing skills but a full year of tutoring and getting my insane ADD under control and I found myself writing one sentence a page books about dogs and crap rather than playing on the swing set with the other kids. All my friends had moved a year ahead, leaving me behind and I found comfort in writing and reading. I didn’t realize it back then but I was lonely and words, they made me feel like I wasn’t alone.
Today, it does the same thing for me. Usually though it’s me writing fanfiction of participating in roleplays because it helps me connect with other people. This time though, it’s about me connecting with myself. Selfish? Not at all. I’ve never really focused on myself and it’s about time I do. So, to those just peeking on this, I can’t say I know what’s coming but I will try to be mindful of trigger warnings and any materials that may be NSFW because I’m an open writer with various taste and I like to be fair and try and give people heads up, even if I’m still trying to figure out this whole tumblr deal, usually I just hit like and reblog and call it a day! But this, this is going to be different. I’m a combination of terrified and exciting and I’ve never opened up any original materials to the outside world, or even my friends so… Yeah. I think it’s about time!
See you next time~
