Getting Started!

Hello readers!

I’m not necessarily new to blogging. I’ve had a Tumblr account for years that I’ve accumulated hundreds of posts on. I didn’t have any real direction and I was torn between making personal posts or posts related to general self development. I think I’ve decided that I want to write more about these types of things without making my page super personal. Additionally, as much as Tumblr is a really neat platform, it’s community is comprised of a much younger audience. Sometimes it can feel a lot like high school. That being said, I’ve decided to move to WordPress! It provides a lot more freedom and creativity and gives me the chance to start over with a much more professional feel.

Anyways, if you’re reading this I appreciate you taking the time! 🙂 I suppose I should introduce myself a bit. Hey, my name is Kalen! I’m turning 25 in just a few days and I live in the beautiful city of Victoria, British Columbia. It’s on an island west of Vancouver that’s famous for tourism and being a lot warmer than anywhere else in Canada. Sorry if you have snow on the ground right now. We don’t know what snow looks like here! *laughs*

I’ve always had a passion for writing and discussing things online. I spend a lot of time lurking on Reddit and listening to what others have said in comment threads. My Reddit account turns 7 in July! Although I don’t comment a whole lot and am only sitting at about 700 comment karma I used to be very active online when I was younger. Before Reddit, I used to moderate and contribute to many different discussion boards with very active communities. I’ve also done lots of other fun things online. I created my first website when I was only 12 years old. Since then I have dabbled in coding, created dozens of graphics and images in Photoshop, uploaded hundreds of videos to Youtube with unique graphics and editing styles that I developed in After Effects and Sony Vegas. I was very young when I had all these aspirations but I’ve always been so fond of the platforms for expression here on the internet. Anyways, that is the short version of some of my most proud accomplishments during my time online. What kind of accomplishments are you proud of? Either online or in the real world. I’d love to hear about them!

I’d like to thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope that you decide to stick around for a bit. Share your blog with me, lets be friends!

Cheers,

Kalen
