So, who am I, and why should you read my blog? (isn’t that what these info pages are for?) To be honest, I have no freaking idea. Seriously. All I know about life is that I have a lot to learn. So you might not want to rely too heavily on any of my ideas… I mean I am pretty awesome, but I am not sure how well my version of life will translate to others… If you are at all interested, some things you you might find coming up are posts on all sorts of artsiness–serious moments, life’s quirks I find amusing, film/book/music reviews, poems, short stories. I am not really sure all I will post.
If you already know who I am, you are probably thinking one of two things:
1. I hear WAY too much of Michelle’s (that’s me!.. anyway…) opinions. I don’t want to make an effort and READ them. (if this is you, you are probably my family)
2. Michelle? Isn’t she that quiet recluse who spends all her free time in coffee shops writing and surfing Facebook? (if this is you, you are probably everyone else)
Hense the “opinionated recluse” thing.
Yes. I am a little bit of both. Okay, a lot of both. If I don’t know me, you may have a hard time getting to know me. If you do know me, you may have a hard time getting rid of me. And to all you internet people who will never meet me…
I am a 23-year-old woman from the heartland of America (But don’t let that dissuade you; we are not all the caricature placed on us.) The arts are the breath of my soul. Without them, I would be lost. I love to write, and hope to one day be published. Yes, I know writers make no money. I am okay with that. My main goal is to live a life I am passionate about and am at peace with. I search for meaning in everything. And overanalyze more than everything. (if you think that’s impossible, you should try living inside my mind)… Being human, I am a work in progress. If you would like to take this journey with me, feel free. Or not.
Peace.
~Michelle~
P.S. No, I am not a manly looking woman with dreads; my background picture is one I took of a stranger while on a trip to New York City. (A favorite spot of mine in this fine world of ours)
