A bit of a forewarning, I’ll be addressing topics including Mental Health, Abuse, Self Harm and more. It’s directed in way that people can see these stories and relate or have place to escape to and even know that they aren’t alone, nor that it is “wrong” to get help or seek help. This is not a call for help, this is just my story and what it has turned me into.
Who Am I?
Okay guys, give me a chance here. As a writer, I'm used to writing a certain way and blogging is absolutely not that. Yeah, the aspects are similar, but in Writing, you have to keep up this level of profession. While with blogging, you have more freedom to roam, I've realised. So, I think I'll just try to talk a bit about myself, so you will at least know who the heck I am.
I'm a girl from the Caribbean, looking to inspire and relate to many of you out there. Since this place will be where I'm free to roam and grow, I'm gonna do my best not to sugar coat shit, so they'll be a lot of weird terms in here.
I'm aspiring Author, Blogger and Entrepreneur. Yes, I know, a lot. Okay, to put it simply, I want to create a place where people aren't afraid to be themselves or share their experiences. And to do that, I'm hoping to use Instagram, my blog of course and maybe YouTube, in the future. There are many other platforms out there that I mess around on, but they don't really work for my personality.
Why Am I Here?
I have huge dreams and to achieve them, I'm going to need help. Blogging is how I can release ideas and relate to you guys or give you bishes some tips from my personal experience. Writing is where I create and escape, Pinterest is where I share and hopefully, I can get to Youtubing in the future. Instagram is where I'm mostly at and have grown on immensely.
My entrepreneur dreams are something, really. Instead of trying to explain some more, I'm just gonna show y'all.
I have always wanted to write my feelings out, but I thought that what I witnessed and experienced would be too much for others to know about. However, Iuckly realized that there are probably others that are thinking the same thing.
Whatever you’ve experienced, been a victim of, survived, or is still surviving, is nothing to be ashamed of. If you are simply here today and is seeing this, then just that is an incredible achievement and you’re stronger than you know, to be still standing.
Your tears, your frustration, your questions, your scars, are stories in their own words and there’s nothing wrong with that or you.
To be honest, I was already aware of Blogging for a while, however, I didn’t think it would be any good for me. Mostly because of my terrible experience with Blog Sites. I tend to have bad luck with the whole process of making websites. However, I was always interested in having a blog or some place where I could let my emotions be expressed freely.
It wasn’t until recently, when my one of my Best Friends suggested that we should try it out. To be honest, I was pretty reluctant, but with a little research and practice, I’ve got the jist of how Wix and Medium are supposed to work and what you can do on the platforms.
Currently, I do prefer it to other sites, like WordPress, mostly because it doesn’t force you to start any ‘Trails’. It’s there and when you’re ready or able to, you can start and support fellow writers. What a lot of other sites tend to do, is just force that price in your face, as if everyone is able to afford it. Many people, especially those during this Pandemic, have been struggling with bringing in income or there are simply those that don’t have the means to start.
For me, this blog will be a place that I will use to share my thoughts and experiences in life. If it brings in some income, that would make things better too. And Wix makes it pretty easy, so there’s no complaints.
I don’t know if you’d call it Blogging, ’cause to me it’s just a way to rant, whether it be for something negative or simply something that I’m passionate about.
Over the past few years, I’ve been writing a Book Series and in 2021, I’ll be starting something I’ve been working on for a year. There will be future posts giving hits about what I have planned or what it entails. It’s something I wanted to do once I noticed that there are a lot of negative families out there and many people that don’t have the motivation or tools, to do what they love. At least, where I’m from, many of us are ridiculed for wanting to begin a creative career. Such as something along the lines of; writing, poetry and even art or music.
I am very passionate about what I want to do in the future, or even now, and I am more than grateful for the people that do support my dreams. Unfortunately, many of the people close to me, don’t have that. I’ve come to notice that the families’ support plays a massive part in a child’s future, so when they aren’t given the support in what they want to pursue, something such as art, they tend to become unmotivated, depressed and even give up on their dreams to work in an industry that would only make them unhappy.
I hope my words will, at most, let someone know that they can pursue their dream career. It will take a lot of hard work and some motivation, but I say, once it makes you happy, just do it.
