Reveries on My Life + Just Chillin’

[image error]

It’s been a while since I clicked “new post” without either having a post written in another document or having a very clear plan of what I wanted to write.

But, as I click on this post, I realize … I don’t want to always be that sort of structured blogger. Sometimes I want to be what I have been for many years … just Kell.

Writing completely random posts, so random that it was must exasperate anyone who likes order and bore anyone who doesn’t know me. And that’s fine. That’s me.

It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed my recent posts. Conversation [and heartbreak] sparkers like Monday’s, ranty ones like my adulting post, and lifey ones with a purpose like the fish one here.

But you know, sometimes it’s good to chill and not stress over it. Blogging isn’t any good to anyone unless it’s fun.

I’m writing this at my desk at work. I usually write a blog post in several sittings (all that up there was written Monday, now it’s Tuesday).

Here are a couple things on my mind:
18!?

My 18th birthday comes up this summer, and … I’m not really looking forward to it.

I’m used to making a big deal about my birthday party, but I don’t have any ideas for a fun event!

And I’m just lackluster about the fact that, after this summer, I probably need to get a full time job … or a second job. (Taking my own advice, anyone?)

So that’s not gonna be super fun – but life isn’t about fun, so that’s okay. Still, I’ll probably get most of this summer with just the one job and some volunteer work.

What comes next?

I sometimes wonder a bit about what I’m going to do as the years roll by. I want to make writing my career, but that’s a slow burn kinda thing.

So should I be doing something in the meantime?

For now, my answer is definitely no. I have time; I’m still seventeen, and even eighteen is young. I can pursue a dream, and goodness knows that – contrary to popular belief – it’s not an idle fantasy.

Starting new businesses … always fun.

I have this bad tendency to start new businesses, but now it’s time to make Reveries Co. a real success!

I’m working on some marketing techniques so our business will be good to go in the long term! So far, I’m pretty excited about some changes being made.

In the meantime, I’m also working on setting up some coaching and critique services privately. (These will be entirely different from what I offer through Reveries Co.) More info on that to come!
