I have a blog! Now what?

Hello.

I've been thinking (probably too much) about what to write on here. I've been staring at the dashboard for 3 days expecting ideas to jump out. I've thought about coming at it from a certain angle, but couldn't decide what. My journey in diet and Crossfit? Cooking blog? My cats? popculture and politics? Music? Most of the feedback I received about angles is that "angles are bullshit."

But I feel the need for structure because it feels safer. I'm selective with my risks. I'll gladly stumble and make an ass of myself for the sake of humor. I'll stand on stage and act or recite. I'll even sing. Slowly, but surely, I've become more confident of my physical abilities through Crossfit while acheiving a ton more confidence in the whole body image area despite not being a size 8. I'm an adventurous eater. I'll try pretty much anything once. But writing is something I've never taken a risk with. I was going to take a creative writing class in college, but I chickened out after I stumbled on a few of the "literary elite" making fun of the creative assignments some students left in a professor's mailbox. I had a blog a few years ago, but that consisted mostly of lists and surveys. It quickly fell to the wayside. I never really wrote anything that anyone other than a teacher saw.

It's a confidence thing. I want to be a talented writer so much, but don't feel I am. I feel like I fool everyone by letting them think I'm smarter and wittier than I actually am. It's silly, really. And it's not like I think I'm an idiot or even that my lack of confidence in this is uncommon. I just need to get over it.

This blog will put an end to that. I'll get past the fact that this post is more self deprecating than funny, I won't pigeon hole myself into themes and I won't get too too wrapped up in the fact or idea that my structure isn't the tightest or most solid. I hope.
