In the beginning

I hope I can continue writing this blog.

I’ve had this website since 2021. I had big aspirations of becoming a well-known magazine brand. And I don’t want to say I failed, because I don’t think that’s what happened. But I didn’t get where I wanted to go. I’ve had to start over multiple times.

This time, I’m starting small.

I’ve always had grandiose ideas of just doing the thing, getting it done, and making it bigger than life itself. But I’m realizing I need to start small.

Starting small will allow me to actually understand the steps it takes to get where I want to be. Instead of just trying to get from Point A to Point B, I want to explore all the little nooks and crannies between A and B.

I’ve always been the kind of person who wants to just get it done.

Now I’m realizing I need to take my time and enjoy the process of getting the thing done. Because I learn better that way.

I need to slow down.

I need to move at a pace that will allow me to really become the writer I aspire to be.

Because I’m also one of those people who constantly has a billion and one side quests.

This summer, I was supposed to be sewing, going to concerts, making music, creating beats, and doing all of these other things.

And I’ve decided that I need to do none of that.

I need to become so obsessed with writing that I become the most prolific writer I know.

Or, at least, the most prolific writer in my mind.

So I’m starting a blog.

And instead of creating another website, another platform, another thing, I’m using what I already have. Good Jinx.

Because if I want to be a writer, I need to use my Good Jinx platform and make it about writing.

Now, I can’t promise you this is going to be the most engaging blog you’ve ever read in your life.

I can’t promise it’s going to be the most insightful.

Nope.

But I can promise you this:

It’s going to be some random shit you might find interesting.

And it’s probably never going to be consistent in subject matter. It’s literally going to be whatever is on my mind.

Because I’ve been saying something for quite some time now:

Everything is now something to write about.

I live and die by that now.

Funny enough, it started as something I said in a text message to my cousin. But when I said it, something clicked for me.

Everything is something to write about.

So, with that being said, this is the start of my journey.

My blog.

Everything Is Now Something to Write About.

I pray. I hope. Fingers crossed.

I can stay consistent.
