A Short Introduction
Welcome to my blog.
For quite some time, I told myself that a goal of mine was to create a blog one day. I want to share my thoughts out in the open for others to read no matter how silly or wrong I could be sometimes. I thought it would be fun to give an introspective look at my thoughts, opinions, and beliefs in my own words. I also want to use this platform to recount stories from the past and what lessons or memories I gained from them. To be honest, it feels weird sharing things because I feel like I never really had a social media presence in the first place. In the past, I have even temporarily deactivated my accounts to be more present in real life. I don't post much or share a lot so a blog feels uncharacteristically of me. I have always enjoyed writing though so I felt like this medium was fitting.
Another big reason for launching a personal blog was because I felt like there aren't many people out there who probably share their experiences in the format of a blog. Being Mexican American, I feel like we are holding back stories. We have so much history and stories to tell, but it feels like few share their writing. I wonder if others share similar opinions or think about the things I think about in the way that I think of them. Through this blog, I want to convey my thoughts just for fun and in a way, use this to look back at how I thought about the world through every phase of my life so far.
Anyway, in this blog, you will see posts that can range from motivational and joyful to sad and gloomy. Some may be long and detailed, while others might be a quick note I wanted to share. I can get philosophical, opiniated, deep, and analytical. Sometimes I feel like I'm onto something while other times I might just be corny. I understand some might be entertaining and some pretty boring and that is okay. I may die on a hill for something in one post, but then contradict myself in a next post. I change opinions often so there might be a lot of that. I don't have a concrete theme for this blog, other than sharing my writing in different styles and subjects. I may make this into a big thing for myself or it might just be something I let go of and tell others "I used to blog."
Ultimately, I created this blog for myself. That sounds self-serving and I recognize that it is. I want to freely express myself and not care what others may think. At the same time, I genuinely feel like I have something to share. Maybe not every post will be meaningful to the reader, but they will all have meaning to me. I also get that people may never read what I have to say and that is completely fine as well. These stories, ideas, opinions, and lessons come from within me, for me, and by me. I'll give my perspective in the way I remember and share things. I will do my best to express my views objectively, but the little nuances and context can be lost through typed out words. Some posts might not be defined with every detail. You either get it or you don't. I was going to add a quick About Me paragraph, but I think I will let my blog do the work.
Again, welcome to my blog. I hope you find something that resonates with you.
Sincerely,
Romario Rayo
