I started this blog a few weeks ago but I haven’t really posted anything. Many times I have wanted to write but I couldn’t bring myself to look at this blinking bar that patiently waits for me to translate thoughts into a blog. Now I face it. Now I begin. Now I blog.
I named this blog “expose” I think largely because everyone that knows me seems to have this impression that I am a quiet, non-talkative, non-revealing kind of a person. I can be that person but I just as easily can not conform to that impression. Expose-to reveal, disclose, to make known. This blog is me, exposed, for whoever to see.
I am currently sitting at Barnes & Noble in a Starbucks cafe. People are chit-chatting about business and classes and others casually read and sip on hot beverages. There is a sweet caramel coffee aroma lingering in the air. I listen to Michael Buble’s Christmas album and wonder where should I start.
I think I will start with some basics about myself as it comes to mind.
My name is Christy. Jesus is my Savior and Lord (and I am eternally grateful). I am 24 and currently without a degree but planning on returning to school to finish. I am debating between getting a degree in mass communication with photography or psychology to be a counselor. I work as a leasing consultant for a nice apartment community. I love listening to people and helping people through giving advice. I love music, art-esp. photography, caramel lattes, and this time of year. I am a romantic type, and want to be swept off my feet. I believe fairy tales can happen. I have an affinity for singers/musicians. I love a good laugh, and a good book. I hate goodbyes and hurting anyone. I don’t trust people easily but can be open once I do trust someone. I have accomplished more than I thought I could or would. I also have failed miserably beyond what I thought I would do in my lifetime (and so far that’s not very long, yikes). I like a good challenge, an adventure, and am a risk-taker. I’m spontaneous and reserved. I love to travel and see new places, other cultures, and lifestyles (thanks to my parents for raising me partly overseas and giving me the opportunities I have had to go overseas). I love trying new foods and will try just about anything (not picky by any means). I make light of awkward conversations and situations. I have been hurt a lot but I move forward. I am strangely good at controlling my emotions/feelings for someone and can cut them off. I don’t hold grudges but do forgive all the time (I think it is the best). I hate fake apologies and meaningless words. I like people to be themselves. I am not afraid to admit my mistakes. I think I have the gift of discernment and try to use it as much as I can. I hate arriving at anything late but do it often. I am trustworthy and like vital confidential information. I am honest and hate lies. I try to see the best in everyone but my untrustingness (yes, it isn’t a word) lingers in my mind about someone. I love Italian food and if I cook my natural inclination is to cook pasta and delicious garlic bread. I prefer to bake over cooking. I tend to have bad social skills thus the quiet impression and awkwardness. I am compassionate and kind. I am quirky. Words do hurt me (depending on who it is coming from). I love romantic, adventure, and thinker movies and hate horror movies (refuse to watch). I love rain and thunderstorms. I am mature for my age. I like witty people and those who are wordsmiths. I love languages (know bits and pieces of many) and attempt to learn them. I like positive and honest affirmation and try to give it myself. I don’t like math/law but appreciate those who like these areas (I would not be an accountant, lawyer, or have any career that is heavily focused in these areas if I was begged to have one). I am creative and am inspired by other people’s creativity. I don’t like sitting behind a desk much; I prefer moving around. I don’t like improper use of English and it has become a pet peeve when I see/hear it. I love trying new and fun things. I like watching people and imagining what other peoples lives are like. I am fascinated with how small and large (at the same time, yes, mind boggling) this world is. I am good at shoving things to the back of my mind and handling things later if needed/desired. I don’t forget easily. I am skilled at memorizing information to recall within a relatively short amount of time (I think I have a photographic memory, somewhat). I believe first impressions are not as big of a deal as people make them to be. I love, love, love a good cinnamon roll (picky on these haha). I love sunsets, warm weather, and slightly cool weather (so I can sport scarves, which I also love). I believe the term “love” is overused (yes, I am guilty) and more so misinterpreted. I get cold easily. Did I mention I love music? Because I really do. And I apparently can write a lot (haha). I suppose this suffices as a glimpse of me. Enough for now. Expose.
