First Post

The first post - the one that maybe nobody will read. You can't not have it though. Unless you buy out someone else's blog, you can't hit the ground running with fans and people reading your stuff and fireworks shooting off. It all starts with that first blank page staring back at you, waiting to be transformed into a small reflection of a thought trail.

The trail that led me here is one paved with failed attempts at figuring out life and it's many subsidiaries. Why do humans like patterns so much? Why do we try to put things in order and predict what will come based off of what has passed? I think we are scared of what we do not know, uneasy in situations when we have no clue what will happen next.

Thus, the routine.

Our little slice of predictability. Our shield from surprises. I want to mess that up (in a good way). I don't think auto-pilot is a good setting for our brains, our bodies, or our beliefs. We can do better. And that's why I'm making this blog.
