I've tried this before. I'm not good at it. I cannot keep with a blog. I think it's because I try too hard to keep it light and fun and like you're talking to some incredibly energetic person. Once I tried a fun but sarcastic person. I'm pretty sarcastic so I thought it would work, it didn't. My writing is very different from who I am. My writing is my point of view, my frame of reference, I'm somebody who just picks an avatar they want to present to the world. I won't talk about my age or who am, because I don't want it to matter.
My age shouldn't matter. A voice is a voice. I want you to imagine me however you want to. I could be a young but deep child, who doesn't share their age because they want to be taken seriously. I could be a teenager who is too embarrassed by the way the write to want anyone to know it was them, too busy trying to play sarcastic and moody. I could be a young adult who just wants to share a voice without the knowledge of the people close to them, to have a place they can just think and be heard. I could be a middle-aged woman who needs help remembering what their voice sounds like. I could be an older woman, who wants to share their experience without drawing attention. Or, I could be so old, I want to spend the rest of my life proving I had something to say the whole time I was so quiet.
If you don't know how old I am, why does it matter who I am. I am a voice, if you really must know. I am all and none of the people I just described. I like to think I am just another person who passes by, and you don't remember their face. I'm nobody special. But that makes what I have to say worth hearing. You might not always agree, but there are no original thoughts. I like to think we've all thought what I think. We just might not say it. I wish I would say it. I'm not going to insult people or talk about politics. I'm going to write something you don't hear enough. I'm going to write what needs to be heard.
If your intrigued, keep listening.
