I’m doing it! Right now! I am writing my first public blog post! Little Gab is SHAKING in her shiny red boots. (She’s my biggest fan and I’m hers.)
I’m Gab. And who is Gab?
She is a family girl- with a husband, a son, a doggo, and a cute little house.
She is an artist- scrapbookish collager, poet, songwriter, and now- blogger!
She is an enneagram 4- emotional, feelings-oriented and relationship-focused.
She is also a highly sensitive person (hsp).
She is here for therapy. She is here for equality and inclusion. She is here for the awesome love of God.
I’ll be done with third person for now.
I have been writing in my journal, writing in a private blog on tumblr, and promising Facebook that I would vlog on Youtube, and yet, only now- at the busiest point in my life so far- am I acting on this desire to share my writing online.
To share or not to share? To be me or be anonymous? To be honest or to be a pleasure to the people?
Here I am figuring it out as I go, gabbin’ away again as I have my whole life. Many times a week, I feel like I am too much for people. I am still figuring out who I want to be for myself for the first time. It’s exciting and nerve-wracking and very much terrifying. But HERE I AM!
When it comes to expectations of this blog…
I am not sure I should be setting the bar very high for myself at this point. I feel like a kid who just grew tall enough to reach the bar in gymnastics and now I am shaming myself for not instantly flipping around in the air. I need more confidence in this area before I can go win the Olympics. I need to give myself grace. At this point? I think I want to aim for posting every other week.
And what will I be talking about?
Whatever the heck inspires me to write. This may be a researched topic that I plan to present to you proudly, or an organized venting of my raw unfiltered feelings. Maybe I will dive into sad gender norms in the baby clothing aisle at Target or jump into a pitch of the ideal next Disney princess according to me. I hope to entertain, to inform, and to befriend.
Do you need to pay to be here?
Subscriptions alone mean so much to me. Yes, you can have a paid subscription (much thanks!!), but at this point, I am just getting my feet on the ground. I am thinking perhaps only the most honest posts will be saved for the paid subs- the ride or dies that are here for the tea! 😈
Nevertheless, I am excited and scared to be here. I hope you’re excited too!
“Well, I guess I can’t hide my crazy.”
“I don’t think you’re trying that hard.”
*House points to you if you know the show this is from!
I love you Gabs!!!
