Why this blog?

I am an introvert. (If anyone is familiar with the Myers-Briggs Test, I fall under INTJ.)

Considering that I have a difficult time with understanding technology and I don’t like talking about myself, why in the world would I create a blog? That just doesn’t add up.

And that’s the point.

A few months ago, I came to a point in my life where I thought I needed to change things. I was ending my third year of undergrad and as I looked around me, my peers were starting to sound like they were growing up. They had exciting stories and they were taking steps in pursuing what they came to college for.

As for me, ever since I entered college, I have always felt like I was lost and I made excuses for myself on why I wasn’t like them.

You can’t go to x event because you have homework to do.

You wouldn’t like that event anyway because it would mean talking to people, which you don’t feel like doing today.

You’d rather sit at your computer than go out.

You don’t like change.

I came to the conclusion that being an introvert wasn’t a bad thing, but I was using it as my crutch.

So, after many years of hiding inside myself and fearful of how others would perceive me, I decided to create this blog.

I’ve liked writing for as long as I can remember and I figured that it could help me be courageous. It’s easy to share my thoughts on a space where I control.

So here’s to being brave.
