Ahh! What Should My First Blog Post Be?!

Ah! What should my first blog post be?

There are so many things I could say and write about! Should I write about how I don't like coffee and never will? Or maybe about my weird pet peeve about toilet paper being correctly placed on the rack facing me for easy roll and peel in the bathroom? Perhaps something more serious like finding fulfillment in life when every day looks just about the same? How about cooking? I like that. No, that's not enjoyable when one is starving or too full. What about the fact that I am terrified of butterflies and moths? Okay, how about traffic... specifically city traffic and how I don't understand it? Just drive, people, it's not that hard. I could write about finding community in my young twenties and how hard it is even though "young adult years" are supposed to be the "best years of your life"?

So many options, and I just don't know quite where to start. I feel like there's pressure to have the first post be something big and special that makes me stand out. Honestly, though, I don't want to be, nor do I need to be "big" and "special" and "stand out." That's not who I am. I hate being the center of attention. No, not like other people who "ooohhh, I hate being the center of attention* insert girly giggle*." I truly don't like being the center of attention. I struggle to blow out the candles on my birthday cake because everyone is looking at me singing and I don't know what to do. My face gets flushed when a question is directed towards and all eyes turn to me in a big group setting. I tend to wind down faster than everyone else at a party because one, I am tired, but two, because I'm not scared of missing out and being the center of attention. Don't get me wrong, I am all for laughs, fellowship, and a good time, but one doesn't have to be "in it all" to enjoy it all.

Maybe I'll write about how boxed brownies will always taste better than homemade brownies? Or how I have a nose like a hound dog. What about my hot take on Apple Music being better than Spotify? Possibly, I could write about how hard it is to actually train for a half marathon? What about how I am a stickler for separating colored clothes, whites, and towels and washing them on different cycles? Or how I actually really enjoy mowing the lawn? All of these ideas could eventually make their way out onto this blog, but for now, I'll leave them hanging as is. I guess now that this first post is out of the way, I can just jump right into anything, right? I mean, come on, this is just a teaser for all the things I could say or write about. There's a lot going on in this brain of mine. I've been told I talk a lot and I talk really fast. You know that dog from the Disney Movie Up that is constantly saying "squirrel" mid-conversation? That is me. I am he. One thought reminds me of one thing and then another and then another and so on and so forth. I will interrupt myself because I am just so excited to talk about all the things going on in my head. I find it quite fun to talk and share my thoughts and to hear what others' thoughts and feelings are. If you're ever with me and it's been quiet even just for a few minutes, I will always ask "what are you thinking?" because I like to know and I like to talk. I guess one could say there's my spiel on what my first blog post should be.
