Hi, my name is- WHAT?! My name is- WHO?!

This is the part of the song where I say, "Hi, my name is *wikka wikka* Slim Shady."

Kidding.

My excuse for this blog is simply that "everyone else is doing it"

Kidding again.

But I've come to the realization that if everyone else is allowed to have a shitty blog then dammit so am I.

I'd like to say that I think that I have decent things to say. So, if you're reading this, I hope you think so too. And if not, that's okay. The world is beautiful because no one person thinks the same one thing at any one time.

I'm Mad. Nice to meet you, Internet. I like drinking good coffee, reading mind-blowing books, discussing controversial issues, pursuing justice, smoking American Spirits, and discovering God in odd places.

Yes, I'm one of those, but I didn't start out that way. Sometimes I speak in cliches and sometimes I just talk at walls.

The beauty of having a blog no one knows about is that I have absolutely nothing to prove to you. But if you are reading this and hate everything I've said thus far, that's okay. But just know that I love you. I have never met you and may never meet you but I am convinced with every fiber of my being that you are loved. Don't ever forget that you are loved, that you are precious, that you matter, and that I may have stolen some of these words from someone I no longer speak to. I am a hypocrite. I am insecure. I am a hot mess. I am 20 years old. I am Jack's raging bile duct.

A beloved professor once called me a "happy malcontent"

I'll take it.

This is the Introduction.
