An explanation...of Sorts

HeyHiWhatsUp this Girl Under Construction with an update, kind of. I figured my first post should be an explanation of me and what I do here. What to say, what to say? Basics I believe is the best foundation to any successful piece, and what can more basic than the name.

Girl Under Construction has a simple and  modest origin. It comes as a slightly cheeky derivative of the famous memoir Girl, Interrupted, though most would probably think film. But I'm more bookworm than movie buff so there will probably be ample references to novels (and sci-fi/fantasy things but lets leave that for another day) Back to the main point. (I tend to go on tangents so stick with me here) At the tender era of early adulthood I am still under major construction and sometimes reconstruction, always building or rebuilding facets of my life to adapt the everyday task of living and surviving, hence the name. So far in my life I've reconstructed my way of adapting and my appreciation and acceptance for grey areas and isolation has grown tremendously. But then again that is how it is for everyone, I believe.

Now for something that might get overlooked frequently, but still no less important, my URL. I always believe that the URL is an important aspect of all blogs. Because you can change you blog name but if you change your URL how can anyone find you. So when choosing your URL or choosing to change it is an impactful decision, on your viral life at least. Just to be clear fiveyearexpiration is not me having five years to live nor is it that this blog will only be alive for five years before I abandon it for better pastures. I have a tumblr if anyone is wondering but I find it less satisfying to post long nonsensical word posts there than it would be here. It is reserved only for my fangirl life. Not to say that fangirl things won't happen here. I find it permeates every part of my life. But I digress. (See? Tangents. Sorry about that) Fiveyearexpiration comes from the fact that I have this list, (I have many lists actually). It is a bucket list of sorts but not really. This list consists of things I believe that should be done before the end of my 25th year of life. If by then I have not achieved those things the list will be scrapped and I will have to actually grow up and give up certain things. It is a list of childhood I guess but it is still things only an adult can do, (without some help, at least). On October 31 of 2018 the list will have been erased. Do not think this list is something that has just happened recently, I have had this list since I was 16 years old. Every few days, sometimes weeks, I will have a look at this list, and every year something new is added. So far nothing has been done of removed. I may document the progress of this list here I may not. It all depends. Either way it is the inspiration for the URL of this page.

I feel that after all of that I should explain what it is I hope to achieve here. This is nothing more than a place where I find emotional release and communicate about my thoughts. I realize that this has gone somewhat out of passion. Everyone seems to have moved on the Vlogging and YouTube is the platform in which they can verbalize their ideas and thoughts. I understand that. Who has the time to read a ridiculously long and rambling post when they can get the chunk of it in quick 5 minute video form? I have of course tried this but I find myself much eloquent with words when writing than I do when speaking, (which is slightly ironic for if you ask any of my friends or acquaintances they will tell you that I seem to never shut up.)

Now that you understand the basis of this, Welcome to my Mind. I do hope you enjoy your time here and I do hope you do not become to traumatized or depressed.
