Hello! Welcome to any straggling stumblers straining to strive on the internet! All are welcome here on my little Tumblr page!
So you're probably wondering who I am and if you're not I'll be glad to tell you anyway!
Why call me Pi? Because I'm irrational, I can go on and on forever, and, like a circle, find myself right back where I started! Now, I promise it's not all math jokes in here. That would defeat the purpose of starting a blog! Especially because I find writing easier than math.
If it were all about math, nobody would read it. And if you were one of those people who would... God, I wish I were you. You'd probably be really efficient at solving problems. Whereas I, on the other hand, am writing to figure out my problems.
That's the nice thing about writing, there's always more than one way to go about it. I've always liked writing, it's a great way to unscramble the mess I got going. You take your time and go through things chronologically rather than when you were living in the moment. I've written a variety of stuff in school, from scientific articles to creative writing. But I've never really got into journaling. I've tried before, it just never stuck. And with creative writing, it's always the ideas that inspire the motivation until you realize writing is just a ton of hard work.
Especially proofreading and you get to that point where words don't even look like words anymore. That is the WORST feeling.
But the great thing about writing is that you don't need to be the world's greatest writer or the next Mark Twain to put your thoughts to paper. That's the beauty of it, it's a great way for people to express themselves without having to buy fifty-dollar Copic markers. No offense to artists that do spend tons of money making art. (Also counting me, who has spent a lot of birthday/Christmas/allowance money over the years buying digital art programs or the newest drawing tablet).
The point being, writing is a very therapeutic activity. It's a great way to focus on self-reflection when therapy isn't an available option.
Which is the exact thought I had at my work desk after being there two hours after my job was supposed to end. It is there that, aside from the usual thoughts of 'why are we here just to suffer?,' I decided:
"Hey, Pi? Do you know what sounds really good and would probably be a great learning experience? Journaling your experiences and making a blog!"
I never realized how much blogging has transcended just writing. Honestly, I thought blogging was just: you write some stuff on the internet and then send it out into the empty space realm of the internet never to be seen again. And then MAYBE, your sacrifice of literature appeases the void enough for someone to answer back.
Honestly considered just making a Reddit account and posting stuff there...
That's what I thought blogging was. And I realize now that, that might have been the case in let's say 2002 but now, blogging is really about everyone trying to make as much money as possible which is crazy. I've seen at least five videos on youtube with the title "How my Blog made $30,000."
But anyway, I'm not changing my stance. I'm a simple person. I really just want a platform I can write my thoughts and experiences down; a way to reflect on them later on. That's why I'm here.
So, I might not make $30,000 from blogging but who knows, maybe I'll feel like I did at the end of the day just from knowing I stuck to my goal and I did it!
So call me Pi! I'm a college graduate that went through two years of the pandemic, I live back at home with my family, I've been through a lot this summer, I'm working my first ever job which happens to be my family business, and I'm just trying to figure things out like everyone else!
This is a start but I'm hoping to make the most of it! Good Pi and stay tuned!
