Because life is grand...
I have decided to start a new blog-thing of sorts. Yes, yes...I know...I already have a wonderful blog at livejournal.com. I still plan on posting a lot there.
So why the new blogger? I feel like my livejournal is the place that I have chosen to share my deepest, most personal feelings. In fact, the only people who are even allowed to read it (besides myself, of course) are random people I've met on the internet. Weird? Yes. But that's me. I don't mind if anonymous people read my livejournal; it's the people I know and see on a daily basis that worry me.
However, to answer my previous question, I've decided to create this blog as a way to express my...hmmm....how do I say this....as a way to express my more intelligent thoughts. My livejournal is real and true and raw. I curse, I yell, I vent. I don't speak in complete sentences. I swoon and sigh and giggle a lot. See where I'm going with this? My LJ is the "childish" Stephanie, for lack of better vocabulary with which to describe myself. I plan on making this blog different. I want to...I need to. I'm almost 20. Can you believe it? I can't. Twenty is a big milestone to me. It's not as anticipated as 21 is for most people, but it is important nonetheless. Twenty is the end of an era. Twenty is halfway to forty, for crying out loud! Gone are my days of being a self-proclaimed "teeny-bopper" Gone are the days of crying over boys, belonging to cliques, and wearing *Nsync concert tees. I never felt like an adult at the age of 18, but at 20, it's going to be so much more obvious, at least in my opinion.
So in conclusion, starting this blog is a beginning of a new era, cheesy as that may sound. My goal is to become a better writer...to express myself without cursing and carrying on...my goal is to write more.
I also plan on being positive in this journal. No more whining and complaining and being unsure of myself as long as I'm typing in this. This will be a good exercise in self-control and willpower, I believe. I can will myself into pushing out negative thoughts and focusing on things that make me happy.
So much for an interesting first journal entry. :)
