You know that feeling, where you know you have things to do but you look for any excuse to avoid those things? That is me. Right now. As you can see, this is my first blog post, which means that I was so thankful to think of a way to procrastinate even more* than I already have, that I created a blog.
I can already see this blog becoming a problem, so you may ask, "Lizzie, why have you created a blog that you know will cause problems?" and the answer is... I am an idiot.
But I also am kind of proud of myself. I have been wanting to post/make a blog for a long time. Something excites me about making things and putting them out to the world, where they will be judged (rather harshly, as I have seen), but there is a fear that has always kept me from doing so; I don't want anyone I know to happen to stumble upon my blog. I want to keep my Internet-life and my personal life separate.
I hoped to start vlogging (video-blogging) this summer, but that fear has stopped me. I have watched other people, far more wise and influential than I am, create video blogs that inspire me to do the same. This past year in which I have discovered the wonderful art of video-blogging, I have been inspired to donate to several charities (Project for Awesome); To travel, learn, and create. I have watched videos where people of just NINETEEN make some of the most beautiful and wise videos that have me forever in awe (Owlssayhooot).
And all of these people make me want to put something out there too. To inspire others like me, simply doing something you love.** If, indeed, I do start posting vlogs anytime soon, you shall be the first to know, blog. Toodles.
*This will piss off my mother very much.
**It just struck me how I have been rambling about how much/why I want to video-blog on a blog.
