New Beginnings

     Starting a blog feels like when I changed schools. The opportunity to make an entirely new me. Complete with organized binders, well-groomed eyebrows, and fashionable shoes, I would parade down that hallway with confidence, picking up groups of friends here and there. I'd be less obnoxious, but more assertive. Quietly confident. I would never feel fat.

These are my (extremely bushy) eyebrows, AKA
a lame excuse to post artsy pictures of myself.

     Of course, my shoes were switched to sneakers the next day, my eyebrows grew back in alarmingly quickly, and my binders rapidly reverted to piles of paper. My main circle of friends became the Obnoxious Nerdy Kids.


     But some things I tried to change did. I became more confident, more assertive, and slightly less obnoxious. What did I learn from here? 


a)   Changing myself does work, but only if it's a change that I want. I never wax my eyebrows.
b)   I may as well give up on ever being organized. Even Wikipedia articles and tuning guitars are more pleasant to me. 


That last one might be an excuse to write a blog post instead of study for exams.


     So I have a goal for this blog. I'm going to try to write as myself to improve myself, not just for my audience. Instead of trying to achieve a new me, maybe I should go for a better me instead. Or at the very least a me-er me. 


The word "me" officially sounds like gibberish now.
