journal entry #1.
welcome friends, family, acquaintances, other people that know me and everyone else in between. this is youcanmerch.com, a place where you and i can say things and hopefully someone can relate or agree. they can merch. this is my attempt at kanyeuniversity. kanyeuniversity inspired me to just be myself. some people know me well and others barely know my name. some people have been around me as i stood silent ignoring everyone that i didn’t know so well. if you pay this site any attention at all, you’ll learn more about me and i will learn more about you. the point of this whole thing is understanding. i don’t want any validation or critique. i just want to express the way i feel and i want you to be able to do the same. so i’m only going through this one time and after this we’re just going to act like we know each other.
- its my fucking site. sorry family and future employers but i curse in my writing. think of these posts as stories framed in a specific time using a specific voice. contributors may also swear because we are all adults here. shoutout to my future employers. i can write without swearing, i promise. ha.
- this is a pretty judgement free zone. we don’t have to agree but we must learn from each other. with that said some shit is just unacceptable. i’m not going to post anything disrespectful towards lgbtq community nor women of color. i just think that there’s enough of that.
- i might use slang on some posts and i’ll be more formal in others. i encourage the use of slang or the black english vernacular. lets be real, american english is overrated.
- there might be nudity or sexual themes on the site. i’m still unsure about it but it depends on how we grow from here.
- things might get personal. i hope that people forgive me in advance but i’m going to be as true to my feelings as i can be. if you want to post on the site expressing your feelings, i’m down for that. its only fair.
see ya.
