OK- Now that I have finally worked up the courage to write my first blog, I feel I should define (for my own sense of clarity and self-affirmation) what I want these various ramblings to mean to me.
I intend for this blog to be an emotional outlet where I can metaphorically scream out my irrelevant ravings onto the internet for all and sundry to see. I fully understand that ninety-nine per cent of what I will write on here will be pretentious and self-indulgent twaddle that not even the most enthusiastic of blog followers will want to read, however this thought right now does not bother me. I am writing to please myself and if along the way I do happen to come across some equally inept individuals who can resonate with what I am saying, then so be it.
A further, and perhaps a more poignant reason for joining this site, is that lately I have realised how much I miss writing. I used to have quite a passion for it about four years ago but alas like so many teenagers that start out with such promise, I developed Bipolar Disorder and my whole identity seemed to be called into question. Perhaps I'll go into more detail in future entries about my own various experiences with this devastating and yet addictive illness, but for now i'll ease you in gently. I hope that by publishing my inane mumblings I will feel more inclined to stick to frequent writing sessions and will soon be able to write with more coherence and without inhibition.
Lastly, I suppose everybody wants an outside opinion now and then on the mess that is their own lives. I guess I'm asking for a equally cynical and contemptuous person to comment on me now and then- just for my own degradation you understand...
I'll aim to write again within the next two weeks. Let's just see how long this little whim of mine lasts.
