I am currently laying on my couch with a numb foot that has FINALLY stopped bleeding. (That's a different story.) But despite that interesting experience, here I am, blogging. And I have things to say! So prepare yourself.
I'm going to write about happy things and sad things and everything in between. I'll write about my random experiences that have made me glad to be alive, and my moments when I didn't see why I was. You can come here for humor if you like weak puns and the occasional (or very frequent) meme. You might get the sporadic happy-rant about a boy who passes me in the hall and says, "Hey Heather" like it's a normal day, but for me tHat'S nOT NorMal, it's veRY eXcitInG!!!! If you would like to hear about string cheese, Hannah Montana, Hamilton, sting-rays, being gluten free, music, blue personalities, high-fives, and the inside scoop on what Student Council is really like, I'M YOUR GIRL! Truly, if you just want to know who @heatherblondieee really is, this is the place. And I can bet that you will be surprised.
Thank you for giving me the chance to shift my views and to put myself out here. I hope I won't disappoint you or myself. I also hope you hear from me again soon.
I haven't posted in a long time. Two years ago, I was really into this blog, and not only that but I loved writing! It wasn't about people reading it, because honestly not many people did. I loved it so much simply because I enjoyed writing. It was always a great outlet for me to express my thoughts. (see 9th grade Heather pictured below, lol.)
But partway through my Sophomore year, that loved for writing shifted, and I began to write to be heard. I wanted to have people see me as experienced, like I knew what life was all about. Giving advice was my favorite thing to do. And then I would go back and revise my own advice, because I had learned more. Eventually, I became sick of reading my own words, so I just quit. I mean, I literally wrote a post breaking up with my blog! How sad!!
I'm not here to be your advice columnist. I'm also not here writing to you to prove a point, to be someone I'm not. Nor am I here to tell you how much I understand the way life works. Because if I'm being honest, this year I've probably realized more than ever that I really don't understand much about this confusing life. It's stressful. It can be sad. It can feel hopeless. So that's why I'm here, acknowledging that I haven't got the slightest clue. Here are my raw thoughts and feelings.
One thing I've learned about myself recently (and painfully, unfortunately), is that I cannot fix another person's problems. I just can't do it, and neither can you. No matter how much I want someone to fix an issue, no matter how often I beg and plead that they will just take the easy way out that I present to them. You can make up your mind about how a situation should be handled, but you can't do that for another being.
Because of this realization, I knew my blog and the way I present things on social media couldn't be a solve-all, fix-all, come-to-Heather-for-made-up-wisdom kind of place. If you're looking for something else, I won't be offended if you close out right now.
