Revival and Renovations

The other day while working at Barnes and Noble I was stared down by a rack of cards for graduation. They all had motivating words about graduating, heading down the road to success, and encouraged following your dreams. Now, as a senior in college this has officially become one of my biggest fears. Because, not only am I a senior, but I am a senior in the school of creative writing, which isn’t exactly a common degree with a set career path. So, yeah. In a year not only will I have to start adulating (hardcore), but I will also have to put some serious work in towards my dreams and goals. Work I should’ve been putting in these past three years (if not more). But I haven’t. So here we are.
                I started this blog my senior year of high school and have since let it go. But, I’d like to revive it. It started as a feminism blog, but I think I’d like to get more creative with my posting. I am not sure what I will write, maybe some book reviews, maybe just my thoughts about people's graphic t-shirt choices, maybe a poem about my Memaw. I don't know yet, but I know I just need to write. And I need to get my writing out into the world, and this blog is the best way to do so. Now, as most of you know since you follow me on social media, I do not post a lot. I am very shy and quiet, but that shit ain’t gonna fly in the real world. It’s time to put on my big girl pants and not be afraid of posting opinions, weird thoughts, and my creative writing. Woo! Terrifying.


                So, here it goes. As I like to say to my sister’s dog when I have to pull him out from under the couch to take him on a walk, “It’s fine. Everything is fine. It’s fine. It’s fine. It's fine.”
