wondering how to get started

Gentle Reader,

I've been trying to decide what sort of things I should write about here. Looking for inspiration online has yet to give me any ideas. I don't really think I'm qualified to give lifestyle advice, which seems to be the main suggestion for blogs. I guess I could just talk about myself. But I don't really seem to have the impulse that prompts people to share their every thought online. In fact, I don't think I really have the impulse that prompts people to share their thoughts at all. I tend to keep myself to myself. I suppose I just know that not everything in my head is that interesting. A lot of it is nonsense.

What do people normally blog about? Their lives and experiences? Their ideas and opinions? Does anyone actually want to hear what I have to say about those things? 

I don't know.

I don't even know if anyone will ever read any of what I write. The Internet is a very crowded place with so many voices calling out and speaking over one another. I'll probably just get lost somewhere in the noise of it all.

I'm fighting the urge to just delete all of this and shut my laptop. 

I know that I'm rambling about nothing. But maybe that's the point of all this? All I know is that I want to expand my life a little by trying to put myself out into the world more. It's not something I'm very good at.

Perhaps, in time, I will figure out what kind of things I want to talk about here. I'm sure that I'll end up writing about a variety of subjects since I find so many things to be fascinating. I'm always stumbling into knew interests or hobbies. I can't seem to help it. And who knows? Maybe someone, somewhere, will find what I have to say a little interesting.

All my best,

Elle ♡
