Welcome to my blog! Or better yet, my brain!

Get to know the weirdo at heart by reading my first blog introductory post :)

I'm just going to say it now . . . I'm a little quirky! Not necessarily the good kind, but more of the clumsy, anxious, punny kind. The tunnel of my thoughts range from the media world, to feminism, to food. So who knows what my future posts may be about. But I hope the journey is a good one.

I'm just going to say it now . . . I'm a little quirky!

Socially awkward and a professional amateur, I tend to come off better in words than in person. But since this blog is to advertise myself, I'll try my hand at not being my usual level of self-deprecating.

I bring my emotions into my work. Whether it's written, filmed or other, I tend to be more vulnerable and raw. What can I say? My zodiac sign is a cancer and it couldn't be more true. I know, I know, you're thinking, "she's that kind of girl who believes in zodiac signs." Well I'm sorry, but you there's too many coincidences for me to not be a cancer. Plus, my horoscope app is brutal and puts me in my place.

With being overly-emotional and wearing my heart on my sleeve, my works can be darker or more deep ideas. I think it scared my family when I started actually creating stuff like that. But it is just my escape.

For those who know me or are close to me, I'm more innocent than most people my age. I was very sheltered as a child and didn't really understand the adult ideas that most kids know.

So when I was able to have my own outlet, the floodgates were opened and my brain dumped it's emotional piles into the void. At some point, it had to show up, so why not in a creative sense.

It started with my poetry book. It's the darkest I've ever been, because those poems are based on hard times that I've gone through. It is my therapy when I can't get in to see my therapist. When I read them back, it's hard because I travel back to those dark times. Yet, I'm glad I have those published. It showcases how you can "make your tragedies a work of art." (A lyric by Gabbie Hanna who has amazing poetic works.)

From poetry, I then journeyed to film. It's a visual art, where anything can be done. Words are amazing. But sometimes, seeing the visual can make it a thousand times more real. In my film class, I videos were known as the sad/dark ones. Which I didn't mind because it was true.

In any form, I like being raw and emotional with my audience. It may not be what you want to see, but it's me. The inner me. The me that doesn't get shown to that many people.

So here we are, my blog site. It may be quirky. It may be educational. It may be dark. It may be deep. But it's me.

Join me in my adventures.❤️
