Not Sleeping
So here we are. Gathered over the internet. Reading over the same material. As much as I love my computer, the keyboard is far too sensitive and frequently double types letters, which makes for bad situations when spellcheck thinks it’s fine if I said “ass” instead of “as” in a formal email to a professional. That’s not the point of this post though. That’s only a humorous disclaimer in case it happens.
The point is it’s almost 11pm, aka when I should be in REM sleep, when I should be at Agate Alley with friends, when I should NOT be in my abode typing in the dark on my laptop. All these conflicting things to say that: I need to wake up early tomorrow, which is why I didn’t go out tonight. So much for that. Regardless, this needed to happen. I’ve thought about this too many times for it not to happen.
Here’s what’s going to happen: I’m going to make this public. I’m going to tell two people. Two friends. Two amazing humans. These two people, RG and BH, can proceed to do as they wish. Fill whoever they want in on this. Also, everyone will be referred to by initials. I’m making this up as I go if that wasn’t clear.
I’m still figuring out what I’ll talk about. How candid I can really be, knowing that people I know will be potentially reading. I’ve always been weird about that. But I think I’m just going to let it happen. Type whatever the hell I want and not think twice about it, or how someone reading it will interpret it. The plan is to talk about some meaningful things in terms of educational stuff, like what I’m reading (hint: lots of academic articles, webinars, etc), mixed with completely random life stuff, like the stupid shit I’m doing on tinder, or the super deep conversations I have at cornbread cafe, yep, that’s you, RG.
All that to say, I think this is the start of something beautiful.
