Hey everyone, friends and enemies,
Internet goers and browsers, googlers and yahoosers, children, adults, the ladies and the gents, and anyone else who wants to be
included! That is anyone who could possibly have any reason for reading
my first post on my new blog. However, before I get into my first post
and topic, I just wanted to let you know a little bit about myself. I
actually began blogging about a year or two ago, and regretfully I stopped
writing and posting shortly after. I guess something just turned me away
from it... Whether it was procrastination or an over-thought assumption that my
words might somehow affect someone somewhere, thus destroying their lives by
taking my words the wrong way all because I had to make a certain point, I just
all together stopped from all the pressure.
It was the procrastination...
Today I am back again with a new
drive and desire for writing! Why because I may actually be able to make
that difference in the world. Not the psychotic change I was afraid of
causing when I first started. A good change. It may be just one simple
word that can help someone. I realized I couldn't go through life
thinking that something bad could happen while I was expressing myself!
I realized instead I must think something good will happen. Maybe I will
inspire someone, maybe I will get someone to laugh, but the main thing is that
I can write because I enjoy it.
Anyways I'm a 19 (going on 20) year old male college student. I am
currently studying theology at the University of Belgrade in Serbia. As I
said above I love writing. I enjoy playing soccer, and I learned how to
play several musical instruments. Truthfully I can only say I currently
play two of them well, but that can be attributed to a lack of practice in
others. I think laughing is an important part of every one's day and
without it you can't get through life. I am an Orthodox Christian, which
really is the most defining aspect of my life. I will most likely into
things about my religion here and there as time goes by, if anyone ever has a
question about it or maybe something I mention pertaining to my religion please
ask away and I will do my best to get back to you! I enjoy occasionally
playing video games, hanging out, going out, you guys know, the general having
a good time.
Even though to many older adults I am a kid, there is so much I am
taking in at once and I am learning and growing and maturing. Essentially
it can be incredibly scary, yet thrilling and inviting. This
"stuff" that I am generally filling my head with is getting all mixed
up and I'm trying to connect it left and right to this and that and I'm
figuring out how the actual world works and sometimes I just forget to take a
breath with it all because it is coming so fast you know life is hitting me in
the face and sometimes when you finally make a connection you just need to
pause it all, just like this run on... and think about it.
So that's me the 21st century hamlet type analyzing and thinking
way too much, as well as speaking too much. Yet although I understand
this about myself I can't tell you why I may over-think things, but I can't let
anyone else tell me either. You see, you can let someone hand you an idea
and it will stay in your head. But you won't understand that idea, it
will be a squiggly line. What you want up there are straight lines, lines
you can follow, things you can understand, but only you can organize them, and
it takes time as well. So what I'm saying is my Hamlet phase is passing
over, and I don't think I have to worry about the full tragic ending where
everyone dies and someone takes my place, I'm figuring stuff out!
The title of my post kind of goes along with the idea I have
already mentioned which is taking ideas from other people. This gift we
have called learning is so incredible and powerful that one of every one's
goals in life should be to learn as much as they can! Yet, issue is
credit. Especially since most of the things stuffed up there in our heads
we don't know where we learned those from anymore we just know certain things.
Yet that doesn't mean it is yours. That is why I say everything I
know came from someone else.
IN FACT!
The very phrase everything I know came from someone else, came
from a professor of mine. So give credit where credit is due and who
knows you might gain some respect from people time to time.
Thank you for reading,
Its2buh
