All That Jazz

So, this is my very first blog post. I suppose introductions are in order.

Hey there internet people, my name (or at least who you'll know me as) is Daellya. Pronounce that Day-lee-ah.

Now that that's over, let me get a few things out of the way. This blog should have been started about a year and a half ago. My life was going through some crazy changes back then, and in a few months I'll be going through some more. Right now I feel as if I'm trapped in some sort of transitional purgatory, waiting for the next set of major life changes.

Since we're on the topic of purgatory, it is important to mention that I am in no way religious. I am an atheist and there is no use in trying to convince me otherwise. You may, however, join in a friendly debate with me and tell me all about your beliefs. As much as I may disagree with them, it is interesting to hear the thoughts of different people and I always love a good debate. But, that's for another time. Back on topic.

A little over a year and five months ago, I began dating my current boyfriend. We both came with a lot of baggage, but we just helped each other carry it to the taxicab, so to speak, instead of booking it. This was a major change for me because I have incredibly low self-esteem. Only one person had truly confessed their love for me, but he was a friend and the idea of a relationship scared me. I have asked a grand total of 3 guys out in my lifetime, two said no and one said yes. I dated the one that said yes for about 6 months, but I actually only went on 3 dates with him. It turns out I had liked the idea of having a boyfriend more than I actually liked having him for a boyfriend. I had no real feelings for him, so I broke it off. He didn't seem to care, and a couple minutes later he asked me if he could ask out my friend. Several more minutes later he changed his mind and informed me that there was "already another girl he had been working on". And this all occurred no more than ten minutes after I dumped him. Silly, silly boys. So basically, my life suddenly changed with the arrival of my new boyfriend, and even now I am still adjusting to the changes and decisions I have made. Since this is an introduction, I will leave his story for another time, at which point I will explain all the different relationships in my life, friends and family included.

The big change that I am currently anticipating is the transition to adulthood. Otherwise known as university. My story of university will have to come after the story of my relationship with my family, because there is still much to tell.

I think it is finally time to tell you a bit about myself. I am weird, crazy, odd, quirky, maybe even a bit insane. Every good person needs a bit of craziness in their system, or they would be boring. I am not your average teenager. The teenage girl these days is unfortunately a bleach-blonde whore who does drugs and drinks at parties every weekend. This is not who I am, and not the kind of person I aspire to be. I don't give in to peer pressure, and although I am not ashamed of who I am, I do tone it down at school to avoid causing trouble with the people who insist that you need to think the same way as them. I like video games, I like anime, I like movies and T.V., I like music, I like being outdoors, and I care very deeply about animals and my friends.

I think this is by far enough of an introduction, and I'm sorry to make it so long and unappealing. If you made it this far instead of tl;dr-ing, then I applaud your patience. Thank you for reading and accompanying me on my journey through life and finding myself, with a sword in my hand and a song in my heart.

See you next time! <3
