My Very First Post- I have been thinking of creating a blog of my own since I first heard of blogs.
Not sure what stopped me from creating one years back, or if I preferred it stays an idea in my head but not on paper, but I surely imagined this moment a couple of hundreds of times. And even though I have so much to share and say, I feel completely mind-blocked.
Which is typical, really. I probably had writer’s block for 20 years out of my 22 years of living, so no big deal here. I’m so used to this little brain not functioning when I want it to. But it’s okay, like everything else, I learned to love and embrace it very well.
who am I?
I don’t know yet, so I can’t tell you. But I know that my name is Nour and that I love writing and being around people I love. I tend to talk a lot and share stories, which is what encouraged me to start this blog; to share the stories I haven’t told yet.
what do I do?
In the context of experiences and whatnot, I have a BA in Journalism and MA in Communication Sciences. I currently work with the United Nations and I’m a board member at an NGO, which is super cool *pats myself on the back*. I have worked as a senior editor, administrative assistant, translator, social media specialist, tutor, HR, and writer. I have also volunteered in 7 different NGOs and I’m always searching for new opportunities because, weird enough, I love everything and everyone.
Also, there is probably an “About Me” page somewhere in this blog that I should’ve written all this crap in, but oh well.
what are you doing here?
LOL. No idea. You’re either one of my super cool friends (I love you friends!!!) who wants to support me, or a poor soul that stumbled upon this nonsense and thought to give it-and me-a chance. Nonetheless, the fact that you are reading this-and maybe some other things too-makes me want to hug you.
If you’re looking for enlightenment, or academic research, or anything that is beneficial, you’re in the wrong place, and I’m sorry. But if you’re looking for randomness, well, hello nice to meet you, I am Random.
Also, I am still not sure if I’ll actually share this with anyone I know, or keep it online for my own enjoyment. I’ll have to overthink it of course, like all the other mundane things I overthink.
I think this is enough for a first post, and it may be too long, but I don’t know yet. I guess I have to start with my research on how to stay in the blogging lane.
