the pencil who lost it’s paper

I've lived these past few years certain I was going into a journalism related career. Not necessarily because I loved it but because I was good at it, familiar with it. And yet here I am, writing a blog -- a journalistic driven activity. You can take the girl out of writing but cant take the writing out of the girl I guess. Being a writer is always going to be something that sticks with me, it’s like sand once on you it never fully disappears -- you’ll find sand in your car weeks later. Starting a blog was something I’ve been wanting to do for years but never knew how to start or was always intimidated by it. But as someone that’s a part of the “lost boy” club, starting a blog seemed like a step in the right direction on my journey to becoming found. I haven't written in a while. I would say in college I lost my passion for it but I think it was always not there and college just helped me realize it. Nonetheless, I still want to keep those writing skills, those interviewing skills, those extroverted skills I learned. 

I have no idea what I want to do with this blog, I can turn it into so many things which is the beauty of it. It's mine. No one else's, no one can tell me what to do and no one can shape my opinion on it. I have to do it myself. Which is something I really need. But for now, this will be a safe haven almost. A place I can rant about what I want… a place I can practice my writing. 

And if you are reading this, you are probably one of my friends that I forced into reading this. In the other case, you are a future job looking at this and well… this is the real me so buckle up because I have a hard time being real in a work environment -- once I step through that door, robot Jade comes out. 

So this blog is a work in progress just like everything else seems to be in my life, but I am learning to be ok with that.

“Everything happens for a reason.”

Blog post number 1, officially done. Did I nail it?

-- XOXO, Jade
