New Beginnings

Well...this is my first blog post on here. I've had tumblr, but I felt like that was more for teens. Today, I am starting a new page, a new beginning, and a new adventure. My whole life, I've always enjoyed writing, from diaries to essays in school, to love letters, etc. I probably get it from my mother, since she's been a writer for the Portuguese newspaper for many years. However, I never thought I was good enough to be a professional writer, especially not like her, because my vocabulary wasn't exactly up to par or I wasn't into the news or history, but I've definitely gotten smarter about those things as I've grown up and learned about life, of course. Anyway, I'm really excited about this. Obviously, I'm not getting paid for this, but I've always wanted to share my thoughts and opinions with the world about general things, things that people should know or learn about, because I feel like nowadays, people can be so...uneducated, cruel, or naive, and in some cases, they don't carry many morals or values. I'm not saying I'm perfect, I'm far from it. I just want to share what I've learned in life, because I think my parents have taught me a great deal and I've taught myself a whole lot as well from personal experiences. I tend to be pretty blunt and not have much of a filter, so please bear with me in my blogs. They might get offensive from time to time, because I do get passionate and strong headed about what I have to say. I am Portuguese after all :P. However, I try to look at all angles of a picture to avoid looking ignorant, but from my experience on voicing my opinions to friends or on Facebook (which isn't usually a great idea), I haven't always received the best of feedback. I never fully understood why, because it is after all my OPINION, but I think it partially has to do with the fear of hearing the truth, but a lot of the times I think it's HOW I voice my opinion. I've had a tendency to just blurt anything without thinking (no, not like Tourette's), but I've definitely improved in that department and haven't been doing that nearly as much as I use to, so I do apologize in advance if my blog posts ever offend you. Realistically, no one can please everyone, and sometimes we just have to toughen up and deal with what we hear/see or ignore it and move on if we don't like it. I am a sinner just like everyone else, because no one is perfect, so please always keep that friendly reminder in your brain. My blogs are going to consist of a lot of opinions and advice based on things I've tried, have seen, think, or heard about. That's what I like to do, which is why I want to be a therapist, but I'm not quite headed in that direction just yet, so for now, I shall blog. Basically, you can either read my blog and learn from it or take it with a grain of salt, and if you truly have a problem with it, feel free to leave a comment or message me, as I too like to hear other's opinions. You don't always know you're doing something wrong unless someone tells you, right? Sometimes you have to be corrected or reminded that you could possibly be upsetting someone, but for now, I will stick to positivity, good notes, and happy thoughts to steer clear from the negative vibes. Stay tuned and God bless. :)
