The beginning.
Me
My name is GC. I’m a 19-year-old student, and my goal is to start writing about my feelings and putting them out there in a way that helps me not feel alone, and hopefully helps others feel less alone too.
I don’t know how I’ll go about this from now on, or even what structure I’ll use, or if I’ll have any plan at all.
It has just always been a dream of mine to put my thoughts into words, from simple shower thoughts to my more introspective ones.
A passion of mine is curiosity and the act of being curious, and by consequence I resent feeling ignorant.
Because of that, I’m open to any criticism, discussion, or perspectives. In reality, I’m looking for it. I want to hear all ideas and different takes on my own thoughts to challenge them, but also to challenge others.
I’m 19 and still very naive to the world, but I don’t believe that means my voice should be silenced. Everyone has a voice.

I want to write about topics to get them off my chest, such as motivation, life, social pressure, death, the meaning of friendship, the meaning of love, and many other thoughts that have been on my mind.
Posting them here is a way for me to let go while also being open to new perspectives on them.
I’m at a turning point in my life where I want to make a serious change in myself and constantly grow into a better person.
I hope that having this blog or platform will allow me to be heard, but also help me reform and improve in the way I write, listen to others’ thoughts, and remain open-minded while staying true to my values, which is the most important thing to me.
A lot of my journey is introspective, and I want to take that introspection outward and never take anything for granted.
Life to me is precious, even as an atheist, and I want to live with no regrets. This is the start of that.
I hope I continue this and that it becomes something meaningful, even if it ends up being just for myself.
Also, a small note: I’ve never been amazing at English, so I will use ChatGPT only for wording and grammar. All ideas and structure will always be original, because I would not want it any other way. I hope that through this experience I can also learn to rely on it less over time.
