This was going to be a professional blog and then... it wasn't. I have a certain habit of getting overemotional, and while this thing obviously has my real name on it and will get traced back to me if/when people start looking into what "professional" stuff I've done... it's not a pretentious writing blog. That's not me. I have flaws in unfortunate abundance, but being pretentious is hopefully not one of 'em.
So... how to even explain myself in a way that might sound interesting? Might as well start with the basics - stuff that will make frequent appearances here - in more detail than is on the top of this blog. My name's Alyssa, I'm 21, and I am a writer / shopgirl / gah I have a lot of side projects (I sell jewelry, might pick up another direct-selling thing or two at some point, and edit stuff). I was homeschooled the whole way through high school, attempted community college, and failed out after // because of a mental breakdown of sorts my sophomore year. I've realised that higher education isn't my path in life and that's about all I'm going to say on the matter. I was diagnosed with depression at age 18 (prolly could've been diagnosed sooner but my mother was her usual lovely self soooo-) and probably have some sort of sensory processing disorder and maybe a variant of anxiety (I'm working on getting this stuff labeled because I like knowing what's in my head). I write (all the professional info is going to be on a separate page) and, as the description says, watch more TV than I ought to. I want to say I'm gonna keep the TV blogging off of this, but there are a few posts forming in my mind about the parallels between what's happened to me in real life and things I've seen onscreen so that'll happen one of these days. I am fantastically terrible at organizing things, I think I'm funnier than I am, and above all else I am doing this blog for me. A while back, someone I know in passing told me I should write a memoir. I can't actually do that 'cause there are a few people who would get skewered in that piece and I don't want to ruin lives that have only just begun to get interesting (and I'm not lying about names, if I'm taking them down then I'm going all the way), but a blog... a blog seems like the right format.
I'm listening to a Mary Lambert song while writing this, just for the record. Not sure why that matters but I feel like it does. Before I write anything, I have to find the right song and put it on repeat. Right now is "So Far Away", which y'all should listen to because it's one of those love songs. One of those "I am single as hell and emotionally unstable but this still makes me a whimpery puddle of cuteness" songs.
Expect rants, reflections, and insight into the mind of an invisible girl with so much to say. Oh, and consider yourself warned of all of the above. <3
