An Introduction

To be completely honest, this blog wasn't my initial idea. It was my academic advisor’s. And although I wish to take all the credit, I probably wouldn’t have even thought about starting a blog if it wasn't for her.

See, I love to write, and I don’t mean non-fiction, self-help things like this, but descriptive, words-that-bring-you-to-life type of fiction pieces that make someone sit back and think “What the hell did I just read?” And this, obviously, isn’t that. But a few months ago when I went to have my academic appointment, my advisor said the best thing I could do for myself would be to start a blog. So here I am.

As of right now I am not too sure where I want to take this creation. At first I was thinking of using it as a place to publish my poetry and short stories, but now I am thinking that I want it to be a safe space for me to get all of my thoughts and feelings out into the world. My own online diary, if you will.

I think it could be fun, especially when I have things to say and no one is around to listen. I don’t even know if anyone will ever find this site, but if they do—well I guess if you’re reading this then you did—thank you for being here. No matter if you just skimmed this, thank you. This is my start to being a published writer one day.

With that being said, I want to help other people who don’t really know what they’re doing with their lives. I can’t promise that I will give life-altering advice, but maybe by helping someone else I can help myself too.

Let’s start this journey together.

Love,

Lexi
