Paige Raskin is The Queen of Everything, Especially Blogging…
Wow. After a year of contemplating whether or not blogging would be an effective creative outlet to express some of my innermost thoughts, opinions, viewpoints, and interests with the world, I decided that my voice deserves a place in the discourse on human affairs.
Yes, that’s right.
I, Paige Raskin, am indeed ready as ever to share parts of myself with the world through my writing. And no, I will not be making these blog posts perfect even though I really want to as an INFJ (we will get into this more later) because I want them to be an accurate reflection of who I am, and I am definitely far from perfect. Writing is what I feel at-home and at ease with doing, even when I sometimes struggle to get myself started, or when I overthink each specific word or transition used between sentences, and the list can go on. I can turn this simple blog post that you are reading now into a 80 hour project easily.
Type. Type. Type.
But, yeah, I think writing will definitely be a nice creative outlet in that it will inspire me to explore my areas of interest deeper and to share those finished works with all of you. I will love learning from readers their experiences with the blog post topic and their perspectives.
Mainly, I believe that this blogging journey can be a place where I can learn just as much, most likely more, from all of you readers. In that way, yes, my blog is being made with some selfish intentions being that I want to know everything about you and the topic in discussion. The more I know from differing readers, the greater understanding, depth, open-mindedness and appreciation I will have for the topic. Not to mention, I will get much needed practice utilizing my brain so that it does not quite literally rot away from being unused.
… I am only half kidding.
This brain has got to get a go’ing! So, here we are, slowly but surely firing it up.
Anyways…
I intend to contribute new insights (…and other jazz) to what is already out there on topics related to psychology, human behavior, trauma, addiction, spirituality, mental health and wellness, self-care, self-improvement, growth, education and research.
Honestly, I just want to write.
So, the niche of this blog will be: health and wellness. *cough cough. Subject to change.
Blogging is actually incredibly widespread and evolving in that individuals with strikingly unique, specific and even broad and common interests from places all over the world are contributing to the body of information available online. It is pretty fascinating if you think about it more closely. There is so much out there and so many voices desiring to be heard and integrated into the societal frameworks that govern each topic.
… I am EXCITED! . ..I don’t know what else to say.
MY VOICE… MY VOICE GETS TO BE A PART OF THIS WORLD?!?!?!? WHAHTTT??
… Maybe I’m a lil nervous, too. (LOL!)
My name is Paige Raskin, and I am The Queen of Everything (at least for now). Who would have thought that I would have ever started a blog? For those who know me and where I came from, I suspect it comes as a big surprise to you. Or, maybe not. For those who don’t know me, well let myself be known. Talk soon.
Love, Paige
