"Hannah and I think you should write a blog. 

Or a book. We would read the crap out of your book."

- Megan

And thus my blog was born. 

Sort of. 

My mom was actually the first one to tell me to start a blog, but I was like, "Mama, I'm not that creative, blah blah blah." But I was about to slip into a bad mood one day this week when one of my best friends from high school (Megan) texted me her and Hannah's (also best friend) opinion. They said they like to read my Facebook statuses. So I got happy and inspired and actually started considering writing a blog. So I have them to thank, even for the title, because that was Megan's idea, too.

I love to write. I kind of consider it my strong point, academically, but that fluctuates. Just because I slap down some correct grammar doesn't mean I'm a writer. Honestly, I'm better with the grammar aspects than actual content. For example, I would love to write a book, but seeing as how I don't know what on Earth it would be about, I'm stuck. So you know, maybe this is a good start. 

That's not to say I'll get famous. Most of the things I write about will probably be straight ridiculous. I also doubt they'll be amusing to most people. But that little flicker of hope is still in me. I think it's very empowering to have someone say that they actually want me to write more so they can read it (thank you Hannah, Megan, and others). So you know, even if I don't get famous but there are strangers that come along later that like what I write, well, that would be pretty legit. And even if not that, I really appreciate my friends' support.

I should probably actually say more about myself at this point, instead of rambling on about my ambitions/writing/brand spanking new (what does that even mean?) blog.

I'm 19, currently studying nursing at Ole Miss. Insert "Hotty Toddy" here. I mean, I really do love some things about my school, but I don't participate in a lot of things that go on here. That's not me. I'm a sinner saved by grace, but I know I'm not yet who I should be, which is quite disheartening, but I just have to keep the faith. If you're a believer too, go ahead and shoot a prayer for me. Gracias. :) 

You know what, long story short, I'm just this weird kid that's trying to figure out life like the rest of us. That's all. So just take heart in the fact that you're not the only one.
