Numero Uno

This is not the first time I'm blogging. In fact, I currently have a blog that I have been writing in for close to two years. I realize I am still a mere neophyte when it comes to scores of more experienced writers and bloggers and my talent dwarfs in comparison, but I still try to remain faithful and undaunted to this one outlet, haven and refuge.

So...introductions, I guess?

This is not one of my favorite things to do, so I'm just going to leave it to you to interpret me the way you want to from my writing. That's the best way, I think. But as for the basics, I am 17 this April, and I'm a junior year high school student. I get straight As and I am not afraid to admit the fact that I have lost out on dozens of opportunities to make new friends and meet people because of my lifestyle, which predominantly circles around reading, writing, listening to music and the likes. No regrets, for the most part.

I am basically shy, but I warm up to people very easily. Unabashed lover whose had her heart handed back to her quite a few times; my strongest belief is in learning from my mistakes. I believe you love people for their imperfections and not in spite of.

I am currently suffering from an eating disorder, a constant battle I have been fighting for the last three years. It's taken a lot from my life, but again, has made me grow as a person in ways I cannot possibly describe. If you ask me what I hate about it the most, I would say its the constant fear of being judged by that one aspect of my life. My disorder does not define me as a person, no matter how many times my own immediate words betray that emotion.



Why the second blog?

Because a lot of my close friends(in the virtual world) have access to my first, and that has invariably created a few inhibitions in writing openly. One of the prime attractions of starting a new blog is the factor of anonymity; something I didn't bother too much to maintain in my original blog. But apart from that, I plan to continue writing in both. If anything, it gives me more reason to write, and I keep looking for reasons to do away with my scarily stretched-out writer's block anyway.


I am still very new to this place. I have read hundreds (and I do not exagerrate) of blogs by reference here, but I have no clue how people actually bump into blogs as such here. That's next on my to-do list- playing around till I figure this out best as I can.

More later
