Welcome to my new blog? I think?

Beginnings are hard.
1. Why this, why now?
hi reader. if you don’t know me or you do (lucky you), my name is brandon. i’m 18 years old from a little town in the suburbs of nj. the state where no one can parallel park and we love our bagels: that one goofy state. i’m a senior in high school and i am not good at math, incase that matters. the reason i have created this on this platform is because i’ve learned to mostly enjoy writing as a hobby for my own benefit and mental health too, and wanted a new way to express myself just with an audience of some sort. mostly for fun, and also to see where just writing can take me.
2. What kind of community are you looking to build here
this will be a space/community for anyone. i don’t care who you are or what you believe in (i mean, i do, but meaning i love you whoever you are and all our welcome, thanks for tuning in, for real). there’s no place for hate or oppression to anyone or anything in this “community”. this is a space that’s meant for freedom of expression and everything else you can think of: it’s allowed, except for hate. no one needs hate.
3. Be specific
as i start this new blog, or whatever you want to call this, expect any topic from music to my life as a whole, weather it be regarding education, relationships, experiences, anything that i feel is notable to share with this, which again could be literally anything. i’ve been told i’m a very good story teller here and there… i think i’ll post on here maybe 1-3 times a week, depending on how much i can think of and if people generally enjoy reading. and, substack, i refuse to charge people for reading my stuff, as i would never pay to read stuff from some weirdo such as myself, to be honest. this free subscription will last as long as i am not broke. and here’s an image to brighten your day.
