Intro - #1

Hello,
I'm not completely sure what to say, other than welcome. I had a different blog before, but I can't seem to find it, so here we are, beginning again. For someone who sometimes finds it difficult to express thoughts and feelings, I somehow still have an awful lot of things to say.
You're probably hoping I'll shut up and explain to you now what exactly this blog is. What is it for? What can you expect from it? From me?
I am a creature of habit and I dislike change. However, I also have a strong drive to remain entertained, intrigued, and interested in what I do, and I tend to change what those hobbies are, or at least switch things up and change the way I go about them.
In short, everything you can expect from me in the future includes: blog posts ranting about whatever is on my mind, wallpapers for your phone or laptop, print on demand clothing and novelties with my art on them, art prints, music, and fiction books.
This will take time, of course, but it's what I hope to achieve. Soon I'll have a website for you, where you can find all of my work, or all the work I plan on making public and available to you. Now here's some more ranting:

I've had multiple business ideas and never stuck with them long enough for them to come to fruition. I've written three and a half books and yet I haven't finished the current series, nor have I taken the last three steps in self publishing. I hold myself back.
I'm going to do everything I can now, at this point in time, to finally put the rest of the work in. I can't leave my life unfinished; I can't leave everything I do and create in a box or on a wall or in a flash drive, never to be seen by more than a handful of people's gentle eyes. I have to put my work out there, I have to scream my thoughts into the abyss, not because I want fame or money orbsuccess, but because I've always wanted to be a published writer. Because I've always wanted to be an artist. Because I've always wanted to make music professionally. Because I want to be happy.
Progress is frightening, but it's also freeing. I'll probably make mistakes and do things wrong and, just like anyone else, I could make a mess of my life, but my life has been messy enough without my input, so I might as well make my own colorful, exciting mess. I have to try.
I'll be back here soon, and I hope to post regularly. You don't have to read a word I write, or give me a single moment of your time, but if you choose to follow my messy journey or maybe even support my art, I'll be forever thankful. Until next time

I wanted to mention that I'm finally editing my book. I just dread it until I finally sit down to do it and get in the zone and then it's fun. It's so silly. I can't wait until it's done though. It's gonna take longer to edit then I thought, and then I have to copyright it, and then I gotta publish it, and then I finally get to write some more. I love doing things my own way the whole way through: knitting with no pattern, publishing my own book, learning code for free online. I'm just getting started with my passions and my dreams. I hope my future is as bright as I dream it is. I hope things get better. I hope I can follow through with everything and become a better version of myself. A happier one.

#12 The Quiet Is Loud

-
I never liked the quiet. I mean, obviously I like the quiet to an extent. It means peace, less stress. There's more room for you to exist in your own quiet bubble, doing your own thing. But sometimes . . .  Sometimes the quiet, the dead silence, is so loud. I can physically hear it. It sounds fizzy, almost like the buzz of electricity when I sit too close to the power strip or turn on the old lamp in my room. Sometimes the quiet is so loud it hurts my ears a little. My mind tends to talk a lot, although it's been a little quieter in the last year. It sometimes takes the silence as an invitation to talk on and on and on. It often drives me crazy, but there are also times I just go about my day, doing my own thing while they chatter in the background. On occasion I'll catch a sentence and ponder on what it means, meanwhile the voices have gone silent. I'm not a fan of noise more than a few hours a day, but I also don't feel calm in lonely silence.

#9 Art Website!

-
Hello Again, I've been wanting to put my art out there for years and I finally took the first step today. I made a website and uploaded my art! It's violetsvisions.art if you wanna check it out. Obviously it's just a first step, but it's progress. I hope to have a tiktok page soon and maybe put some of my work up for sale. It's scary, but it's exciting! If you've been wanting to post your art, do it! People on the internet can be mean sometimes, but sometimes they're kind, and if you believe in yourself and your work you'll make it through. Sorry, I don't have too much else to say, I just wanted to gush about that. Have a good night. -V 🩵
