Intro: 16 going on 17

This blog is a gift to me for my 17th year on this earth. Too often I start projects intending for them to have a long-term effect on my life, but they never do because I never stick with them. This blog is a promise to my future self that I will keep going after my dreams and goals and take actionable and most importantly, plausible steps towards them. This will be a place where I can brain dump. I can talk about all of the things that have the least or utmost importance to me. I will talk about fashion, beauty, health, and mental wellness. This will be my small mark left on the world. Ray Bradbury wrote this wonderful character in his book Fahrenheit 451 named Clarisse. She is outgoing, curious, and thoughtful. As I turn Clarisse's age, I reflect on the way she impacted the people around her in her life and carry her attitude with me as inspiration. So here I am, ready to make an impact.

“I’m seventeen and I'm crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always say seventeen and insane.” - Ray Bradbury, Clarisse in Fahrenheit 451
