So I thought I would start off simple by writing up a little about what my life is right now, and why I'm starting this. I don't think people will read my blog, and if anyone does I doubt it would interest them. Besides, I write for myself, not for the people.
So why am I doing this?
I consider myself a writer, of poetry and random jargon, never quite managed to even start a novel of any kind for fear of the words on the pages not living up to my idea of a story, or just getting bored halfway through. It's taken a few years to realise how bad my writers block has been, and how little inspiration has been present, if any, in my life. I'm hoping that by starting up a blog I can try to find some form of balance and peace of mind, maybe even start writing again and finish the play I started 5 years ago.
But that's for another time.
I recently turned 20 and had a look back at the past 2 1/2 years of my life; I can now see how much I've changed. I like to think that I've grown. New friends, incredible people, and some amazing teachers have really shaped how I see the world now, how I write, how I act and react, and how I understand things. Someone once told me "You see things in a different light when you turn 18." He was very right about that. The world becomes a different place.
One week after my final exams, before I had even graduated, I found myself with my first job- one which I didn't know a lot about. I work at an art gallery. Isn't life interesting? It's a whole new thrill, earning your own money, and having to be responsible for something other than the organisation of which cute guy to invite to a house party. 9 months down the road of my 'adulthood' and I've met some interesting people along the way on a weekly basis.
As an aspiring actress, I often watch the people that walk into my gallery and pick up on the tiny details of their beings. It may be the way they walk, or how often they play with their hair, but everything is interesting and it's things like that that make each person unique.
I would like to write about them.
So I guess this blog will serve as my log book of weird and wacky people I meet, the diary of my ever-changing life, and the one place I can write my thoughts and be free.
Till next time,
Toothless Twiga.
