Building a blog

I must admit. I have never built a blog like this before. The blogging experience I have is from creating a LiveJournal back when places like MySpace, Flickr, and DailyBooth were popular. I remember enjoying the use of an online journal so to speak. This of course, will not be a journal. This will be a blog. I feel like I need to make that distinction to get in the mindset of putting words to paper, or rather word to screen. It can be a bit daunting.

However after watching a couple tutorials, googling some answers, and then of course going through a lot of trial and error I have finally made an About Me page. Ba dum tss. It took me longer than necessary and after I was able to finally create one, I was reminded of that scene from Spongebob where he writes his essay and the only word he has on the page is a beautiful The

I was patient though. I know that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Not that I would compare this blog to Rome. Good things do, however, take time.

Time is one of my favorite subjects and I will probably talk about it often enough in the coming year. For now I will give an update on what the blog will be about. The blog will be about my own musings of course. Things that tickle me. I tried thinking of any niche topics to cover. Books. Movies. Writing, etc. However, I wanted to write about it ALL. So despite what a lot of people say when starting a blog. I don’t wish to cater to one audience. This blog is after-all my outlet. I want it to reflect that. So I will be talking about movies, books, art, my hobbies, life experiences, and any other things that I want to talk about.

What all those topics will have in common is my perceptions and opinions of them. They will be shared here, where viewers will be free to listen or discuss. I hope I was able to provide the foundation for what you will read when visiting my blog. Feel free to give me any input if you are a fellow blogger or a friendly visitor. Until then, adiós!

Hello World

My name is Jessica Santiago and this is my blog. I have always wanted to start one and I am excited to see how this works. I would love to type more, but unfortunately I hit my head pretty hard about an hour ago (long story) and would love nothing more than to lay down and rest. That being said, the plan was to create this blog today, and my New Year’s resolution has been to not prolong things, specifically happiness. I will get into this more in another post, I promise. However, I need to at least make one post.

For now, I will give a couple details about me. I am a writer. I love to write, I write in journals, I write stories, and sometimes when I am bold I write poetry. As a writer, it almost feels like a rite of passage starting a blog. I am also an avid reader, which, I feel like writing and reading almost usually go hand in hand. I’ll probably read a bit as I lay down even. I also like to draw and paint. I am, I feel, subpar in those areas, but nothing a little practice won’t fix. I also like to learn new languages, I am focusing on Korean at the moment. I am trying to learn guitar, piano will be next. And I like to create, I make TikToks, YouTube videos, and as we can see, blogs.

I don’t want to give too much away just yet, but I’m hoping to make something great here and have some fun doing it. Thanks for reading my first post, till then, adios!
