Welcome to my brain! Yay..?

So, I used to blog quite a bit, I always thought I had a lot to say. In the past few years I've kind of felt like even if I did have something to say, it's not like anyone really was interested in hearing it. But honestly, what kind of attitude is that? This isn't for fans, this is for me. I ran across this little gem on the internet today when I decided I was getting back into the blogging world:

The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free. Look at what other people are doing, not to compete, imitate, or compare . . . but because you enjoy looking at the things other people make. Don’t shove yourself into that tiny, airless box called a brand—tiny, airless boxes are for trinkets and dead people.

This is from Maureen Johnson, and it really hit home to me today and convinced me to get back out there. Or in here... blogging... either way.. you get it. So here I am. Oh, who am I? Let me tell you.

I recently turned 25 and it makes me feel old.  I'm *almost* done with my bachelor's degree. (This is big step for me. I was not one of those people who popped out of the womb with a passion that they pursued tirelessly from the moment that they could walk. I like things, but mainly.. I just like to live. ) I'm looking for a job. I just got into jogging/running. I love, love, love books. And the rest, you'll find out whether you want to or not probably. 

These things may not seem important or anything but they are the basis of me. And again, this is for me. So there. =P
