Hello

So here it is, my very first blog post.

So. Much. Pressure.

I’ve spent the past few years wanting to start a blog, but my internal dialogue usually goes something like this:

‘Oh, maybe I should start a blog!’

‘Everyone has a blog these days. Nobody would read YOUR blog. How narcissistic!’

And then, I crush my blog thoughts and go back to everyday life.

But, if YouTube and Facebook have taught us anything, it’s that we humans are FASCINATED by each others lives. We want to see and know everything about each other, right down to ‘what gross stuff came off that Biore pore strip I just put on my nose’. And I’ll be darned if my life is less interesting than a pore strip.

And like most things that appear on YouTube or Tumblr, there won’t really be an order or logic to it, because it’ll just be things that come to my head. 

I can only hope that my thoughts - which sometimes feel so powerful and brilliant inside my head but occasionally come out unclear and crazy - will eject onto the page with an aura of coherency and eloquence. So let’s throw all caution to the wind and do what a Nike marketer would tell you to do.
