What do you even talk about?

The first story I published last week was short, sweet, and straght to the point. I have read and heard enough regarding blogging, writing, and content to know exactly what my first blog should contain. The basics tend to be regarding target audience and overall purpose/intention. I did that but now what ?

The idea of starting a blog is something that I had been pondering over for a very long time. I have been given feedback by countless people regarding my ability to communicate and connect with others and the potential benefits this may have. Most feedback tend to be regarding vlogging or creating some sort of podcast where I would share my thoughts and feelings regarding issues. I think that it may be due to my personality.

Regardless of how I am around others though most of the time I am an introvert. I enjoy my privacy. I enjoy not being in the spotlight. I think that’s why writing for me has always been something that comes naturally. I feel I have the ability to openly share thoughts and feelings with a different level of rawness. Although I would like to think I am just as raw in person, I still feel there’s some sort of distinction. Cause you see, there’s levels to this shit.

So, where do I go from here? Especially when there is so much to talk about. My mind is constantly racing and often times I feel so strongly about so much it’s hard to choose a focus. For example, this morning I woke up thinking about death. Then I thought, “how could I write about death for my second blog post?”. That would be so dismal.

If you got to the end thank you for reading.

Ending leaves you wondering what is next?

Please follow, clap, share your comments, and share if your heart desires. ‘Till next time.

Chronicles of a Mental Health Counselor is a personal blog with the desire of reaching a large platform. Individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages, religious preferences, etc. First, let me introduce myself. I am a 24 year old black hispanic woman from New York City. A year ago I had the pleasure of graduating with my masters in Mental Health Counseling. Since then I have had multiple jobs and life experiences that have shifted my entire perspective on how I view the world, others, and myself.

As I continue my learning and growing process I want to share my experiences with others. The older I get the more I understand how complex and multifaceted we are. This understanding has allowed me to further appreciate our diverse backgrounds. As well as challenging myself to continue to be open and accepting of other people’s points of views. There is a beauty in learning from others and growing through the experiences we are faced with.

The internal shift that I have experienced further led me to understand the value of living in our truth. This platform is created with that purpose. I want to continue down this path of living my truth unapologetically in hopes that others can do the same. Join me on my journey of self-exploration as I share different perspectives about personal growth, career, relationships, faiths, race, gender, politics, education, and other things that are important to me.

My ultimate goal with this platform besides reaching a larger audience is to create a safe space. A space where people are free to be who they are without feeling censored or dismissed. Please join me on this journey and I hope that you all will allow me to be a part of your journey as well. Feel free to ask questions, leave comments, and share content that speaks to you.
