"My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."
So I suppose I'll fathom them into blog posts.
(Sidenote: John Green is one of TIME's 100 Most Influential. I'm picturing him leading an army of Nerdfighters armed with metaphors and educational videos.*)
HEY MTV, WELCOME TO MY BLAWG!
This is my first post, my thought foetus, my debut single, my minute and a half long theme song a la Game Of Thrones.
Humble beginnings, for sure, but I'm like 95% sure that's a good thing. (I'm also 95% sure that "95%" is seared into my brain right now - thanks Econometrics, I well and truly understand confidence intervals, naht.)
I don't know why, but telling my friends I have a blog is a mildly terrifying prospect, comparable to being searched at customs, or karaoke. I'd just rather not.
And fear of failure, fear of mediocrity even, constantly seeps into my periphery - if an internet person expresses their opinion and no one's there to hear it, do they really make a sound???
Add some faux-OCD tendencies and some terminal writer's block (its taken me A DAY to write this post) and really, we should all be wondering why I'm even bothering.
At the end of the day, it might just come down to boredom and my desire to run far, far away from Business Statistics, but the whole effortlessly-fell-into-my-passion thing is kind of overdone don't you think?
Honestly, I just want a thing. In this post-high school, pre-"real world" phase of our lives, my friends have been getting their P's, dabbling in network-marketing, starting up businesses and flexing their social skills at uni. What do I have to show for this year? Nothing - yet.
tl;dr: This is my attempt at something.
*I love John Green. And TFIOS. Seriously.
