I guess I've always had somewhat of an obsession with how I look...
For as long as I can remember I have been interested in changing my hair, playing with makeup, different clothes, and experimenting with various styles.
Since learning a little about concepts of identity, through my university degree, I have realised that I have always kind of struggled with who I am (as we probably all do), and I think that aesthetic appearance is one of the easiest ways to trick people into thinking you do know who you are, and that you, in fact, fit in.
Now I'm not saying this is entirely a bad thing, nor particularly unusual I'm sure, especially for someone like me who tends to be rather obsessive about most things. I guess you could say I have issues with stress and anxiety, but that's one of those semi-unrelated things that may or may not be included in this blog, depending on my (admittedly changeable) mood.
That is also why it has taken so long for me to start a blog, something I've really been meaning to do for a long time. But then again, I'm a bit of a master at procrastination, considering I'm currently avoiding doing uni work...
Anyway, I just figured that the best way to get started is to just write a post, hence the previous post. I tend to find it is easier to do things one step at a time, then you get less overwhelmed by the enormity of the task and before you know it, you are half way through already!
(*disclaimer* I'm better at giving advice than taking my own, but you will probably figure that out)
So I am probably just going to write things on here.
That's the plan anyways.
