Hi everyone! I thought that for my first post it would be smart to give you a little introduction on who I am and why exactly I am doing this.
First, my name is not actually Em, but for the sake of this blog, I thought it would be best if I kept some small part of myself to myself. That being said, everything else posted will be the real, true me (unless I use names of others in my posts, then those will definitely be totally made up). I am a newly-ish college graduate with a degree in psychology, working a job that I do not see myself doing for the next year, much less the rest of my life. I am in my early twenties and still live at home in my childhood bedroom, and spend most of my nights watching TV with my parents. Very exciting, I know.
I wanted to start this blog, because I am so lost in my life and I needed a good place to vent where I could potentially get some feed back from someone who doesn’t know me personally. I have absolutely no idea who I am or who I want to be, and this current existential crisis is taking up a lot of space in my brain right now. So I thought it would be helpful to get it all down in writing and release it, literally, to the world.
I am aware that in the grand scheme of things, the problems that I face are small potatoes. But I am also trying not to completely invalidate what I go through and if I can find a community of people who have similar struggles or with knowledge or personal experience on how they navigated similar instances, then that really is just a bonus! As mentioned in other pages on this site, I will mainly be using this platform as a journal of my life and some of the wonderful, and not so wonderful, things I get to live through.
If you decide to stick around, thank you and it is very nice to meet you! Let’s start this journey of reclamation together
