Cue intro~
So, this is my first official entry in this new, snazzy blog.
I’m still getting acclimated to all the features and such, so have patience with me.
I don’t know how well-received this page will be by others, and I don’t know if it will get popular or not; it actually doesn’t really matter to me…I just need an outlet for myself to write what’s on my mind and what I’m feeling. It’s an extra, and welcomed bonus if it is well-received.
So, a little bit about why I decided to start this thing…
First off, the name. Since no upper-case letters are allowed, my username reads “outshpoken.” Actually, I meant for it to read “outSHpoken.” Why? Well, we’ll have to move on to my second reason for creating this blog (then we’ll get back to number one).
So, reason number two, this blog is meant for me to write about the day in the life of a shy person. I really do mean shy. Yes, I am a shy person. I’m comfortable at home and around my friends, but for some reason I just become extremely reserved and shy in certain places…particularly school. So, I’m intending to write my thoughts or how my day has gone, or even questions I have about myself as a shy person. Some of you may be able to relate to me a lot, others may not, but that means you get to see things from a different perspective.
Okay, back to number one, my username. So, outSHpoken almost speaks for itself. I am indeed outspoken; otherwise, I would not have created this blog. However, the “SH” is capitalized as a way for me to express that I’m, sort of, softspokenly outspoken. I’m quietly outspoken (what an oxymoron). Hence, the “SH” as in the sound a librarian makes to kids who are talking too loudly.
This blog, however, is not only going to be about me being shy, because after a while that topic gets redundant. I don’t know what else I’ll write about or post, but look forward to it!
Another thing…I’m not perfect at writing, so I will not tolerate any bashing or criticizing of my writing. I try to be as accurate as I can, but there will be grammatical errors and typos, expect it.
Lastly, I don’t expect everyone to agree with me, nor do I expect everyone to like me. However, I will not tolerate any bashing -directed towards me or at other readers. Opinions are welcome and so is constructive criticism, but not bashing. I may be shy, but that doesn’t mean I won’t speak-up when I need to.
Anyway, so that’s that. Thank you for reading. End.
