Why I Write

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog post, but I got sidetracked by college life and all of that.  I just haven’t been active on social media for about a year and a half because I was out experiencing everything.  And that’s what we should all be doing, but I know if I’m going to eventually get my work noticed, I need to have social media accounts.  That’s just how it is.

Anyway…

Writing has been a part of me for as long as I can remember.  I’ve always been one to tell stories, even real ones, in a creative way.  I loved writing essays in school and still do so today.

I used to blog because it was a way for me to connect with everyone out there; whoever happened to stumble on my tiny space of the Internet.  I loved getting comments that start discussions on a topic.  I even loved it when others could relate to my personal posts.  I’ve missed that in the last two years, so that’s why I’m back.  Blogging is a way for me to connect with total strangers, and my family.  Especially now that we’re all in different parts of the country – it’s a nice way to keep them updated, in detail.

More importantly, with writing, I’m able to grow as a person.  By connecting with others I’m making new friends and learning to expand my knowledge and outlook on the world.

And that, is why I write.

A New Beginning

Hey there, welcome to my new blog.  You’ve either been directed from my old one, Tales of a Triplet, or you’ve randomly stumbled into my space of the Internet.  Either way, I welcome you.

My name is Seth.  I just turned 20 years old and I’m going into my third year of college.  I’m the second youngest of nine kids, as well as a triplet (the middle one).  I am hearing impaired and therefore have to wear hearing aids and I’m fluent in American Sign Language.  When I first started losing my hearing, my family was extremely helpful.  They all signed up to learn ASL along with me and it’s made my life so much easier.  Though to be fair, my hearing isn’t all that bad, but it’s bad enough to miss something without them.  At school I was able to make some good friends in the ASL club and those who were not hearing impaired worked harder to really get the language down.

Now I bet you’re wondering, ‘if you had a blog already, why are you staring a new one?’

Well, the main reason is that I’m at a new season in my life.  I’ve undergone some changes in the past few years with my new journey in college and I just felt like my blogging space should be different as well.  I’m bound to see more changes along the way as I continue to venture on this journey that is my life.  I’m also hoping to build my writing platform and connect with other writers and book lovers.

This is where I leave you for now – just with a small intro to who I am and why I’m starting this new blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
