TAKE ONE... PT. I

So. I suppose this is my first 'real' blog post. I'll drink to that.

But really, kudos to me.

Firstly, let me let you into a little secret. Starting a blog is not easy. I repeat: STARTING A BLOG IS NOT EASY KIDS.

Not even close. It's been a week already, and between school, countless of end of semester assignments & tests, family gatherings, trying to keep fit (and failing miserably at that), rehearsals for a musical production, never-ending shifts at work (but hey, $$$), and, MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL: MY SOCIAL LIFE, I've been pretty busy. If that wasn't apparent enough.

Ugh, It's pretty hard work being so relevant. All the time. Okay, well. Just kidding.

But let's be real. I started this blog with optimism, excitement, and sheer enthusiasm at all the artistically metaphorical and aesthetic photographs I would take of everything, all. the. damn. time. And well...Obviously, it hasn't worked out to be like that. Screw it. At this point, I'll drink to that too.

But all this has got me wondering... If I'm only a week in, I can't even begin what professional bloggers, photographers, and writers must go through. But then again, they do have a whole crew of assistants, free merchandise (I say bribe), and super hi-tech quality to get the job down.

Damn. It''s like Snow White & The Seven Dwarves, except I'm not Snow White. And well, there's no dwarves. Same thing. Right?

But I suppose I'm okay with all of that. Because I'm just starting out. Because I'm only just realising what it is I want to do. Because I'm learning every single day about the things that make me happy, and the things that make me. Well. Simply put, not-so-happy. Because I'm young and am allowed to make mistakes and experiment. Because I'm discovering what I'm passionate about, and what makes my world revolve.

And if I'm being completely honest, well. The One Direction tunes are pumping, Pajamas have been put on, and it's just me. Typing away on a computer screen with a tub of Bailey's Ice Cream in hand. (THAT STUFF IS GOOD) How Mundane.

But anyways. I guess that what I'm saying is, I've found what I'm passionate about. I've been fortunate enough to try my hand at all these different things, and it's given me the opportunity to discover what Fizz is really about.

So. I guess this leaves us with 'The Fizz Effect.' Short, sweet and simple. Not like me... ;)

(Yes, I realise I am 5"3. No, I don't care.) But really. No, it's not like the Mandela effect. (But interesting theory, I recommend the Curious George debate). But, I suppose that I do want some sort of effect out of this. I want to create, and cherish, and most of all, LIVE. I want to make an impact, I want to speak my mind in ways which do not require my voice, and I want to love. As greatly as I can. And I would love to express that through this blog, leaving little tidbits of information on Fizz, her friends, the world, hidden gems of Adelaide, both serious and non-serious rants (Which category would Cookie Dough being the best ice-cream flavour go into?), and just. My life. The Fizz Effect.

And it feels amazing saying that. My life. MY DAMN LIFE.

Too often, I've been terrified at the thought of anyone even bothering to know any detail whatsoever about my life. And then I realised. Well. I would like to get to know about my life. I don't think I'm that boring. Occasionally funny even, give or take. But really, if we're going to get real here: In the end, it's my life. And I'm doing something that I love doing. And I don't care if you don't love it, or even like it, or even hate it. Because that's YOUR life. See?! Get the difference? Yours. Mine. Repeat after me. My life. Your life.

Great. You're getting the hang of it now.

I think this is what I've always wanted to do. Or at least, give it a try. Even now, I'm getting little tingles in my stomach of excitement. Or maybe that's the ice cream making it's way back up. Eek.

So hello Blogging. I'm fizz, and I'm going to give this a go. Even if I suck. Even if I'm not the best at anything I do. Even if it takes everything I have. (Okay, let's be real, my soul belongs to my Chemistry grades: if I'm dead because of that subject and not my blog, then I'll fully understand).

So there you go. A little insight into me, and the beginning. Ha ha. Poetic. LOL XD. But firstly, have a cutla photos of the amazing @CaseyCammans, and for almost letting him get hit by a car. (It's blog or nothing, right?) Let's mind the fact that this was my first time taking photos, I had $200 worth of makeup sitting on a bench just out of my eyeline as I toyed with this camera, and most of these were moving shots.

So to cringe blogs and new beginnings (even more cringe cliches).

All the love,

Fizz x (XD)
