The Daily Chuable.
I'm terrified about putting this out there. There, I said it.
This is supposed to be the first post to my new blog. Is it new if its the ONLY blog you have? I suppose so, but I feel like you need to have another one for this to be considered new ya know. Like replacing an old laptop with a NEW one. Whatever.
I don't like sharing my written work with anybody. Mostly because I have a deep rooted fear and insecurity that my work is not good enough for people to read and maybe care about. This, in turn, prevents me from writing anything because I'll always have the fear that someone is reading it behind my back or that once read people will find it stupid. It's irrational, I know, "your work always sucks when you're a beginner" yada yada, but it's something that I hope to work on by posting in this place. Maybe by constantly posting pieces on here eventually I'll be more comfortable writing and sharing other works that I'm interested in writing.
Anyways. This blog is still in its infancy stage so I don't really have a clear picture of what I want this blog to be about, but currently in my head I want this place to be somewhere where I can do the things that I enjoy doing and then post a sort of documentation about it. I'm hoping that by documenting these events in my life, you, the reader, will be able to extract some kind of information or experience and be able to use it in your own life.
There will be minimal editing in this blog because I think I like the more casual approach to this blog rather than sound or come off too professional. I don't know if that makes a whole lot of sense but essentially I want this blog to feel more like a conversation between friends and less like you reading something off a newspaper article. The honest reason for little editing is also probably because I'm really bad at the English language. Grammar this and grammar that is pretty confusing for me so if you catch any grammatical errors here feel free to reach out and flame me. Correct me, of course, before you flame me but you're more than welcome to it. I guess the one thing I will try to censor is the amount of which I swear on this blog. Eventually this might become a recreational blog and a professional blog so I guess I'd like to keep it somewhat PG.
By the way, its pronounced "CHU-ABLE", ya know, like chewable but with my last name CHUA. Amy, my girlfriend, came up with it and I promised her that if she helped me come up with a name for my website I'd give her a shout-out for it. So here's your shout-out Amy. Couldn't have done it without you. I have ADHD, by the way, for the two people on here that care and so my writing reflects that a lot, I think, because I oftentimes find myself getting off topic. So if you see a lack of linearity on this blog, that is why. Please be patient with me and maybe as we both struggle along this journey I'll get better at this shit.
I think I'll leave it right here, this feels like a generally good place to stop. My next blog post will be about the do's and don'ts of buying things online. If you're interested in something like that you should definitely become a member of this blog. I'm pretty sure all you have to do is put in your email into one of those search bar lookin' things and it'll automatically help you subscribe to my shit. ANYWAYS, I hope to see you guys in my next post. Thank you for reading this and I hope that you stay for awhile. If not, that's cool too, no pressure.
