Omg first post.

Hey friends!

Do me a favor and picture this…

You are sitting at your desk with pen in hand and a sheet of paper in front of you as you prepare to write something your friends and possibly a few strangers will read. Your favorite podcast is playing in the background, your body is slightly tense because of frustration and there are about ten sheets of crumbled paper on the floor surrounding you simply because all the words you are thinking of are refusing to come out the way you want them to. Got the picture?

Well, that scenario has practically been my life for the past hour. However, as much as I like to put pen to paper, I’m putting my fingers to a keyboard. And instead of the crumbled papers, it’s more like me hitting the backspace button a bazillion times.

I have talked myself out of starting a blog for what seems like forever. I would always start typing something up and then end up stopping simply because I was too afraid of what other people would think of it if I actually followed through. I thought about how embarrassed I would feel if I was to be 100% transparent just for someone to read and laugh or to just not read at all. It’s kind of silly that I let that stop me right?

Well guess what?

I’m over it.

So welcome to Blog de Emily Ginanni.

It’s not going to really be called that… or should it? We will see. I will figure out more details later. First things first… I have no idea what I’m doing here and I don’t really have a plan set out, so bear with me ya’ll. Next thing, it seems appropriate for me to tell you a little about myself right? Well, there isn’t a whole lot to tell so we will stick to the basics. I’m 23. My favorite color is black. I love Jesus, pizza, celebrity gossip and all things Taylor Swift. I like the IDEA of working out, but that gym life hasn’t been for me lately (it’s tragic really). I’m afraid of ladybugs and foods with weird textures make me uncomfortable. Currently, I am living in the DFW area working as the retail supervisor at Visionworks, so if you want to drive to Mckinney, Texas for some glasses I can hook you up. It’s a pretty cool gig honestly. It’s not the job I moved here for, (we can talk about that later) but it’s been good to me. I have made some pretty cool friends these past 10ish months I have been here, so S/O to all of you reading that have made moving 300+ miles away from home bearable. There is honestly a lot more I can say but what’s the fun in that?

Starting a blog 10 months ago probably would have made more sense, but again I was dumb and didn’t do that. It’s fine though. You can now be part of my journey through the last couple of months of me living here before I pack up my things and head back to the 806.

SURPRISE!

I’m moving back.

With that being said, I think I am going to be the most horrible person ever and end this post with that and just let the suspense of why I’m going back haunt you until I decided to spill the beans (it’s nothing crazy). Most of you know, some of you don’t. So feel free to entertain me with your theories and the possible reasons you think I will be going back home.
