I'm Faking It.

I've changed things up around here! It's been a while since I've blogged and it's been a strange couple of years for me. It's been a lot of trying to figure myself out and part of that has been trying new things, or trying old things again. But through it all, it feels like I'm faking it. One of the pieces of advice I give myself and anyone who needs it is, "fake it until it's real" meaning if you're not confident, pretend you are until one day you wake up and you actually are confident. Pretend you know things you know you don't. It's about avoiding a self-fulfilling prophecy, some kind of lie you or someone else has told you like "you're stupid" or "you can't do that." And I've been faking it a lot, this year especially.

I'm not entirely sure where to start, or if I'll try and work all of that out here, but I do want to write about my summer. And a bunch of new friends of mine have encouraged me to "start a blog" so I guess I'll start... again.

Things will probably be the same though. I write what I write, there's never a plan.

But I'll still be serving up direct, honest, sassy realness. No matter how in over my head I am.
