almost, still.

i wanted to switch up how i told stories on this site.

create something that fits a bit more with my personality, and less with whatever idea someone else put in my head about what this could be.

so, even though the website is still called Thoughtful Footballer, i think it’s time to shift.

shift towards something a bit more meaningful to me.

and with that.

i introduce “almost, still.”

everything i write has this piece of itself that isn’t quite how i want it to be, it’s almost there.

everything within me attempts to try to figure out how i can get to the finished article, the best story i can write, but im not sure i can actually achieve that, and im okay with that.

it’s why i haven’t capitalized on this, this thing you are reading right now. because why should i? when i’m writing i don’t think to capitalize, and even if that hurts me with college essays or things i’m supposed to write in the future in a specific way, right now, on this, i’m going to leave it at almost, because that’s how my mind sees things.

still. it ends, right?

that’s the goal isn’t it, for something to come to a close.

this, “the ideas.” section of the site will be dedicated to short blurbs about things i’m thinking about at the moment i post them. there won’t be any planning, it will be the purest form of my writing. and that’s when i am at my happiest writing. that’s when i’m at peace.

it will “end”, or be “still” in whatever i was writing and thinking about.

and so, with that.

storied.

peace
