alright ok // alright ok

Dare I admit that I’m excited about this blog? The possibilities are endless, which is intimidating and overwhelming and hopeful. I can create anything with my words. What is possible? I don’t even know!

I want to write a blog that I’m excited to type out every day or at least most of the time. Now, let me define that excitement. I don’t necessarily expect to be happy about all or even most of what I write. I expect to be driven and ambitious about it. Passionate seems too cliche for my taste.

I want to write about important things, not necessarily facts and not necessarily stories. I want to write, write, write and see what happens. Perhaps, nothing happening is an interesting outcome too.

After all, I will probably wind up pandering if I try to be successful at any of this. So, I will follow my drive and ambition and ability day by day. Today, I’m writing about writing the blog. This is surely lightyears ahead of writing about how I couldn’t possibly write a blog.

Here we are! Alive and applying ourselves. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Doesn’t matter. Not at all. What matters is that I showed up today and feel excited and so pleased with myself for the few minutes that I’m here writing.

What a release from all the depression and self-loathing that takes up so much of my time. I hope that you - dear Wishbone, my nonexistent reader - derives some hypothetical enjoyment out of my excitement. I won’t say reading pleasure because (A) you do not exist and (B) the word pleasure makes me irrationally uncomfortable.
