Hello. A typical greeting, no? I figured I should take the time to introduce myself. I'll go by the name of Em for now. I'm 26 years old. I have two children. My inspiration for writing this blog is life in general. My friends pick on me because my life is so dramatic...and I always respond the same way. "Drama? It's not like I go looking for it!! IT FINDS ME!" People love drama. And I have a LOT of it. Some of it, admittedly, is no one's fault but my own. Yet some of it is simply the crazy crap that happens to me. My hope is that this blog will entertain you, challenge you, make you laugh, make you cry, and inspire you. But more than likely, a few of you will read it, roll your eyes, post your opinion below, and say "What a fucked up individual". Why? I suppose because I am a fucked up individual.
A little about me, people say I'm mature for my age. Many of my closer friends are one to two decades older than me, some even older than that. I am blessed to have many friends. I am blessed to have a close family. Dysfunctional, but close. And this blog will be my growing experience, my ability to vent to whoever wants to read it. Many of you reading this will find it offensive, crude, and pathetic. But you know, I'm not nearly as bad as I could be all things considered, and I continue to try to be better. I am not here for your opinions or your unsolicited advice. So if I'm not asking for it, and you give it, don't be surprised if either are ignored, especially if they are in negative context. Understand that all of the details are not in here. My memory is notorious for betraying me in almost all aspects in my life, and I cannot tell you how pissed off I have made people trying to give me advice when I've asked for it and yet I don't take it because I can't properly convey the whole story.
All of that being said, I consider myself someone who is easy to get along with (sometimes too easy). I look at myself as an open minded individual. In this blog you will find my writings on every subject matter from religion to children to life experiences and just my general disgust with the human population. I am currently enlisted in the military and get deployed every now and then, so I will probably make references to that.
There are too many people in my life to not assign names to them, so I will make the disclaimer that neither my real name nor any of my friends or family mentioned, nor my enemies, will have their real names. Feel free to make requests as we go along, and I hope you enjoy this journey with me as I move through this year and hopefully grow and learn more than I ever have.
By the way, if you see, you will understand this much better. It's something you will have recognized about yourself since childhood, so don't even ask me if you don't know what I mean by all this...because I don't know how to explain it any other way, other than to tell you that I do.
Welcome to my life,
Em :)
