Hello there, this is kind of weird isn’t it? You’re here reading this long after I've written it and i’m probably regretting this too. I think we can agree that life is interesting, the world is intense and you and I both are just mere blips in the grand scheme of things. On that note I tend to think a lot about the grand scheme of things, however I have learned to try and think more specifically because, well, there are a lot of things to think about. I’d say I spend 12 hours or more of the day just in my own head, thinking. I thought this could be an interesting medium ;) in which to let all that thinking spill over.
A bit about me perhaps? I am a 22 year old individual at university studying sociology. I truly am an aspiring sociologist, however unlike the rest I wish to redefine what it means to be academic, objective and critical. I have many big aspirations and yet still little knowledge on how to best go about achieving them, I feel this may be a dilemma many find themselves in; especially those who wish to exceed the status quo as it were.
Anyway, my academic (or rather aspiring academic) self is one topic which we will explore together in the future. But going back to the basis here, my first time. This is my first time writing a blog like this and to be quite honest I am terrified, as many people are when embarking on new endeavours . But this is different, this is something that has me facing a deeply embedded fear of something I have only recently started my quest of acceptance of. It is judgement, this is a topic I also wish to discuss with you in time as I feel in sociological terms it is of interest and may be a topic even overlooked in an essence for various reasons soon to be discovered. Judgement in this instance however is personal and a point in my life which has led me to many downfalls, nights of crying and breakdowns; as well as toxic behavioural patterns. With that said I am very much growing and learning and expanding the perimeters of how judgement should no longer be a driving force in my life. This exact idea is what has lead to this exact moment and it is all very exciting I assure you.
As it may be evident to you already, in this somewhat very brief introduction to my character and thought…I am complicated, perhaps not so complicated all the time. But in my mind I feel complex and vast as though the very idea of possibility and the farthest points of the universe are but topics to be explored. INTERESTINGLY I say many words but express very little in the same breathe.
If you have engaged up until this point, you must be rewarded, please take a sip of whatever beverage you have been waiting to drink while reading this.
I hope I have introduced myself well enough to both interest you but hold intrigue simultaneously. I also hope that you, the individual that so happened to take the chance on reading my words have decided that perhaps in some weird way my ever-shifting personal universe of understanding and perspective will either be of some use to you or just fascinating. Therefore, I invite you to come on a journey with me through the complex, controversial and random thought patterns I wish to unpack here.
Topics of discussion: politics, feminism, criminality , history, psychology, personal experiences, spirituality, birds, stargazing, books, art, anime, revolution, growth, society, culture, music and other media, and more!
