The First Blog Post

So, first blog post. Here I am, I guess, deciding to set up a website to display myself, or at least my work. And here you are, a reader. I should tell you why my work is worth reading. Well, why is anything worth reading? And why do I think my work is?

In all honesty, I think everyone is interesting, the people I love, the people I don’t really know and the people who really get on my tits. They all have something interesting about them or an idea that is compelling. I am like everyone, simple, yet complex. Basic to a degree, to those who don’t know me very well and, to those who do, well, they must find something compelling about me. That is my aim, that is why I write, in the hope of being compelling. To make someone feel interested or intrigued, maybe even seen. To know that there is someone else in the world out there who has the same thoughts and feelings about certain things. Maybe I might challenge your views, maybe I won’t.

I have struggled for many years with self-doubt and been incredibly self-conscious in a way that has felt unique, but I know isn’t. This website isn’t about saying I finally am worthy, I finally have all the answers and know all the things. In fact, it is now that I am most certain that I know very little, and what I do know is that I will almost always be wrong in one way or another. But I have made a promise to myself and now to you that I will always be open to being wrong but now with a self-assuredness that makes me believe that is the best way to live, the only way, in my opinion, that will bring me happiness. We live in a world of black and white, the greyscale is lost. I will be greyscale. We need to have the opportunities to say what we think and be able to change our minds.
