Having a blog where I could share some of my experiences as well as some of my serious and not-so-serious thoughts about life has been on my mind for quite some time now. Of course, first I had to motivate myself enough to actually start it, which was an enormous undertaking in itself.
Before actually physically starting the blog there was coming up with the name. That took about two weeks. Actually, it took about a day, and then I kept using the name not being good enough as an excuse to delay starting the blog for another two weeks. How do I get anything done?
The name had to be at least mildly funny, not too depressing, but aptly conveying my disillusionment with life. I don't have much to be proud of at the moment so I'm going to have to say "Twenty-Something and Flailing" is perfect. I am currently twenty-something, 22 to be exact, about to graduate college, and after looking out at the horizon of post-grad life, I have decided to run the other way. Hence the flailing. I'm flailing in the sea of life.
Why didn't you name your blog "Twenty-Something and Failing" you ask? Too depressing. Although, this is originally what I was considering. Well then, how about just "Twenty-Two and Flailing"? Because I know this flailing will continue for quite some time, and I have come to peace with this knowledge. BUT hopefully by the time I'm 30 I will have my life a little bit more figured out, to the point where at least I know which direction is up.
Warning: This blog will go in a lot of different directions and may spontaneously combust. I'm sorry, ahead of time.
Some topics I hope to cover in the near future are: ADHD, depression, corporate servitude, life meaning, and unicorns. Stay tuned, lots of fun stuff ahead!
