an introduction

I used to have an imagination. I used to love writing whatever I felt like writing. Putting pen to paper. Writing poetry, essays or short stories. I even started writing books on two separate occasions but never made it past the story development phase. I couldn’t focus on anything for more than 15 minutes at a time because of that one device that’s always within an arm’s reach all day long.

I feel like a guinea pig being given a phone at such a young age. Nobody knew the effects that phone use has on the brain, especially a developing one at 7 years old. Nobody really knew that at all until my generation entered the working world the last couple years. Now very few people my age can concentrate for long periods at a time. I’ve gotten off social media altogether for the past year but I still have this grip on my phone that I can’t let go.

After sitting at home contemplating every life decision I’ve ever made, I’ve realized that I want to make something meaningful. Something that’ll make an impact on this world.

I struggle with meaning though I’m a Christian. I firmly believe that Jesus Christ came, was crucified on the cross and rose again and that he is my Lord and Savior. I know that I can’t just keep that to myself either, it’s the best news I could possibly give because we’re all broken and just trying to figure out this life. But sometimes I don’t know what to do with that. I don’t know the “right” way of sharing that with the world (not that there is necessarily a right way, although there are definitely wrong ways that I see far too often).

I’m not sure where this’ll take me, but I hope that by writing this I can find that love again that I had before I had so many distractions.

Let this be the start of something new.
