This blog is titled freestyle week because I don't know whether all of the things I mention in this blog will be related to one another, I'm literally just writing whatever the little voice in my head says.
That little voice in my head has saved me so many times from looking crazy on the street. I know when shocking things happen I like to talk to myself to talk through it so I understand what is going on. But I also like to do that as soon as possible and that's not necessarily convenient. So I made that little voice in my head a blog page. So why did I start a blog? I think for me a blog is just like writing a book but I can be more realistic with my experiences? I hope that makes sense. I know that in novels I can include personal experiences it just has to be embedded a certain way so it still is story fitting and fanatical in a way, but with that I include it because I want to be attached to it and kind of make my mark on it not because I genuinely want to share. A blog for me is more about hearing back than anything else, I like to hear the "oh I loved your blog this week" and have an actual conversation about the topics I touched on and see if they resonate with anyone other than me. But that still doesn't take away from the fact that I don't like to talk about it. Since it's freestyle week I actually want to get into the reason why I HATE engaging in small talk. If for whatever reason you're not familiar with the phrase small talk, it's just very minimised conversation like, "how are you, how was your day, what did you do last weekend?" I don't know whether it's because I am very political minded but I can't stand talking about the little things like the weather and my wellbeing when silence means so much more. You can learn so much from a person just by talking to them but is it just me that finds having VERY similar conversations day in day out excruciating? Why result to small talk in the first place? If there's nothing to discuss shouldn't it be left at that? Anyways, on the weekend you'll see that I spent my time over in a "retreating space", I wanted to use that time to focus on things that'll benefit me in the future so that's the blogs, writing novels, education etc. In the next blog coming up I'll update you guys on how it was because as of now I don't know whether the time will really help or not, but I know this place has provided some of my best work. All a bit of a jumble - Miriam.
