An introduction and an about

I’ve continuously had this idea to start this blog and talk about whatever I feel like talking about. But that seems kinda ridiculous because who would want to read a blog where I talk about whatever the heck I feel like talking about? And who am I to think I am anyone to be talking about anything? 

But you know what I decided instead? (Finally)– 

I deserve to do whatever the fuck I want to do. 

Right? Don’t we all? 

If the past couple years have taught me anything, it’s that:

  1. No one else’s opinion of who I am affects my life in anyway what-so-ever.
  2. The only person blocking me from reaching my goals and achieving my success is myself.
  3. Literally the only thing keeping our societal structure together is the fact that we all just do it. We could all just stop. So what does it matter anyway if I create a blog that’s direction is: I’m going to talk about whatever I feel like talking about?

If I haven’t convinced you to follow my blog, I don’t even care! Isn’t that wonderful? So glorious. Not to say I’m unappreciative of those that do follow, it would be fun to feel like I’m talking to someone other than myself for once and to share something. 

So this is my first post: my hello, my introduction, my “come with me if you want to live” speech. 

In other words a short introduction: CJ Harker is the name I am choosing to go by. I am riddled with traumatic experiences and struggle with mental health daily. All of that being said I believe I am on a path to recovery in many different ways and feel like I am in a place of new growth. I have experiences to share, musings to express to the universe, and warm up writing exercises that I just feel like putting in a neat little blog and sharing with strangers on the internet. 

I am trying to reach my childhood dream of becoming a writer and a published author. As a small child and young adult I used to write constantly. Mostly because I had no job and financial responsibility and because it was sometimes (often) a school requirement, but also because I enjoyed using it as an escape from the painful reality of the world around us.

I hope to use this blog as a way to let out some ramblings and warm up before working on my stories or to share little stories and experiences with anyone who cares to read them. 

I think I will wrap up this introduction on my purpose here– I know I said I don’t care– but I release myself of the bonds that might hold me back and I embrace the encouragement and freedom of being myself– I’d love it if you’d stick around and embrace this weird ass life experience with me.
