Hello, everybody!

My name is Evangeline, I am sixteen years old, and I have no interest in becoming an author or journalist. Actually, I have wanted to be an archaeologist since I was about six years old, when I heard of Indiana Jones for the first time. And that hot girl from Jumanji, a little later in life. I felt drawn to creating this blog since I wanted a creative outlet, and I wanted to step out of my comfort zone a bit. I journal routinely, but I mainly use it more as a coping strategy for anxiety. Because of this, my interesting thoughts, which take up most of my headspace, don’t get enough sunlight.

I’ve discovered that my profound, earth-shattering, scholarly thoughts are, in fact, not rare or profound at all, and most girls my age have them too. In hopes of feeling less overwhelmed by my mind, and in search of similar curious minds out there, I decided to spend $48 a year (unbeknownst to my parents) to write publicly and make it on an aesthetically pleasing website. I also want to expand my knowledge on subjects that interest me. I am hopeful that this will allow me to research my niches and discover even more things to research through my research. Truly, I really just hope one person reads this. I’m not naïve, I know blogs are pretty much dead, even if I wish they weren’t.

I haven’t decided exactly how much I will share on here about my personal experiences. I think I’ll decide that based on the situation, but I can promise you complete honesty and integrity with all my thoughts and feelings. Expect my posts to be as raw and unfiltered as possible, political when necessary, but mostly philosophical. My post style, meaning what I post and how I format it, might change, and maybe I won’t post anything political or philosophical at all. There’s a chance I’ll end up scrapping everything I’ve said so far and turning this into an advice column, sharing whatever lessons I manage to pull from my own dilemmas and experiences. I am infamous for being bad at ‘protecting my peace’, so there are endless entertaining stories to learn from. Either way, I hope you enjoy, and please bear with me as I do my best to write a blog for the first time in my life.

I hope to post weekly, but my schedule isn’t consistent, and I cannot promise that. Maybe it will be more, maybe less. I hope to see you again soon, and I apologize for the short column.

Love, Evangeline ❤
