About me!

I am officially a blogger. This is part of my journey. 

I've really not done anything of importance this week. Since this is my first blog, and I really don't know what to say, I have decided to just share some things about me. 

My "special" number is seven, so I am going to give you seven detailed fun facts about myself!

1. I am in my high school Madrigals. That is an a cappella singing group. This has been a major piece of my high school career. I'm so glad that I auditioned for this group. In the Madrigals are some of my dearest friends. We sing for people at holiday parties, and my friends and I go out together afterwards for fun at Starbucks or just a drive around town. It is honestly one of my favourite things to do - be with my friends, singing and laughing. 

2. I am a "quick obsessor" - as I like to call it. What I mean is that I am easily obsessed with things, usually music, a book, or a TV show. Currently, my mum and I are absolutely obsessed with the program, Breaking Bad. It's an addiction to us. We usually watch half of a season per night. Being obsessed with a TV show should be considered a disorder. We cannot stop watching without being terribly worried about what happens next. It is a problem. 

3. I am terribly petrified of growing up. I feel like I am not ready for my future, and I feel as though I am too silly to actually become older. I am afraid of the future. What if I'm not any good at anything? What if I never get a good enough job to provide for myself and hopefully a family? What if I don't have a family? I just worry so much about the future. I wish I could stay as a carefree child forever or until I'm positively ready to move along in life. Right now, I'm not ready at all.

4. I was "born in the wrong generation" so my teacher -and myself- say. I love everything about 1900s, except for the social inequality and a few other things. I adore the clothing style, the music, the lack of technology, and the sources of entertainment. I personally would love if the materialistic "necessities" of my generation didn't exist. I know phones, gadgets and tablets have amazing perks that help our society work; although I wish we didn't have this immediate knowledge at our fingertips. It would be more stimulating and more investing to have to research everything you study. One of the reasons why people -teens, like myself, in particular- dislike research, is because we are so used to the answer being so easily found with the click of a few buttons. I would much rather have wanted to be a child of the 60s or 70s than now. 

5. I am a vegetarian. I eat eggs and cheese, but I don't eat any animal flesh. I can watch the mistreatment of animals, or even hear of it without cringing. It may seem odd to you, but I view humans as what they are, animals. We are animals. Frogs are animals. Elephants are animals. Bees are animals. No human deserves to die, in my perspective. No animal deserves to die. 

6. I have extreme panic attacks every so often. My panic attacks, like many others, are caused by me feeling fear toward my surroundings. Thankfully this doesn't happen too often, because I am not severely afraid of many situations. Unlike many people who have panic attacks, I like to travel. Travel, which scares some people, makes me feel more comfortable. When I have distractions from that which makes me afraid, then I can ignore or suppress the feeling of fear. I have also gotten better at keeping my attacks under control, and I think that soon it won't even be hard to calm my fright. 

7. I absolutely cannot wait to start traveling more and sharing my experiences with you! I love learning about cultures, and I love being in nature. I think that this is going to be a fantastic time.

Talk to you next week! 

Lots of love! xoxo
