First Time

So

some background: I am a uni student, in London. Currently in my third year studying Fashion Journalism. I'm half Indonesian (and American, but avoid telling people that here) unless they ask about my accent then I give them the lore. I don't know what or who I want to be in life, but I knew I always enjoyed writing, secretly tho.

Anyway, I think that's enough background information for now. But a few weeks ago, I happened to stumble into a one-on-one session with one of my Uni teachers. People just didn't show up to class, and I felt bad. I found out that he has done a lot of miscellaneous work, and I think it's pretty cool. We were looking at online portfolios/websites that people had, but I still don't have one yet and I still don't even think I'm qualified for one since I haven't had any internships or work experience related to the field I'm doing in Uni. But he mentioned Tumblr...

I used to be a big Tumblr girl. Not making posts or anything, just reposting. It was just interesting that he said Tumblr could actually be a way to show my writing. But instead, I want a different approach. I don't want this to be some formal thing, I think I want to make this space as a journal or diary. And I guess it's okay if other people read it since I feel like maybe people can relate to it and not feel so alone with what they are going through. and I can't lie, this year has been damn tough, so I guess maybe I just want to be heard too.

So yeah, I guess that is the intro for now; as to what this is going to be, and I guess just me trying to promise myself to write more. Getting my thoughts and feelings out wouldn't hurt either. And today is my birthday and I always try to do something sentimental for myself every year, so I guess this is it.
