A little introduction.. I guess

I’m not really sure how to start a blog, so I guess I’ll just start here. I’ve always loved writing. There’s just something about being able to put your thoughts into words that has always felt natural to me.I think writing has always been a little passion of mine, even if I haven’t always made enough time for it.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how fast life moves. It feels like we’re always rushing to the next thing, trying to keep up with everything and everyone, and somehow spending so much of our time just scrolling through other people’s lives instead of actually living our own. TikTok is probably one of the biggest examples of that for me. You open it for five minutes, and suddenly BOOM an hour has gone by. You’ve watched a hundred different videos, seen what everyone else is doing, and somehow haven’t really done anything yourself.

And I’m NOT saying there’s anything wrong with TikTok or social media. I love a good scroll as much as anyone. But I think I’ve gotten to a point where I want to be a little more intentional with my time. I want to enjoy the things that take time. I want to take the long way home sometimes. I want to spend an entire afternoon reading a book, take pictures that I don’t immediately post or probably never will, write things down just because I want to remember them, and have conversations that last longer than a few minutes. I want to romanticize the ordinary parts of life a little more. The slow mornings, the random plans, the little moments that probably don’t seem like much at the time but end up being the things you remember.

I think we’ve gotten so used to everything happening so quickly that slowing down almost feels weird. We’re constantly looking for the next thing to watch, the next thing to do, or the next thing to look forward to. Sometimes I think we forget that we’re actually living through the days we’re always wishing would hurry up or slow down. So........ I guess that’s part of why I wanted to start this blog.

I wanted a little corner of the internet that feels slower. Somewhere I can write about things I’m thinking about, things I’m doing, things I want to remember, and probably a lot of random shi* that won’t make sense to anyone but me. I don’t want every thought to have to fit into a thirty-second video or every moment to need a cute caption. Sometimes I just want to sit down and write about it. Anyways, if you made it this far, I’m honestly a little impressed because I know attention spans are not what they used to be. There’s a pretty good chance this is being read by about 3 people :) haha! So, welcome chismosos haha!. Ive got no idea what ill be doing next, or when ill be posting next, but I'll no wait a minute cross that off... but we'll figure it out!
