About

My name is Savannah Spring, I am twenty years old, and I’m from a small farm town in New Jersey. Sometime in the last few years I fell in love with writing my thoughts. Growing up, my brother was “the writer” of the family, meanwhile I wanted to be a movie star… Perhaps at one point I will post my “Savannah Montana” performances on here, but we’ll leave those in the archives for now. In all, growing up I always had a bigger personality. I’ll probably unpack that in a blog post at some point but what I think came along with that was a lot of big ambitions, big goals, big mistakes, big failures, big thoughts, big words, big feelings. And I eventually I wanted some place to put all that other than my head. I started journaling on and off throughout my sophomore and junior years of high school, but I’d say I really got into it in 2020.

I feel like the pandemic was a turning point in my life because it gave me so much time to sit with my feelings and thoughts. At that time, I happened to have a lot, as I was at such a pivotal point in my life with graduating high school. As that season ended and I began to head into a new one, I started to think more on life’s bigger questions: What kind of person do I want to be? What do I want to do with the rest of my life? Is fulfillment really the ultimate goal?

Sometimes, I feel like the pandemic was the first time I was conscious of my life and my existence in the world. Sorry to get too meta. But ever since then, I’ve used writing to process a lot of my feelings and to just to get my thoughts out on paper.

I think I started this blog because I just have so many thoughts on so many things and I just want a place to put all of it. Also, I’ve always had a heart for helping those who haven’t had the same experiences as me. I was obsessed with “middle school advice” and “high school advice” YouTube videos before entering those times in my life because I wanted to hear what others had to say. I find lots of joy in telling other people about my mistakes and things I’ve learned in order to help them. Additionally, I love to write, and when my thoughts start flowing, I like to see if my fingers can keep up.

I hope to use this blog as, basically, a public journal. I’m going to be giving my thoughts, advice, and hot takes on anything I feel like writing about. I do want to make it clear that while I may be writing about some wisdom that I’ve acquired in my life experiences, I want to acknowledge that I don’t know everything nor do I think I’m the main character of the world.

The last thing that I want to mention is how this blog is really just a passion project and I’m going to be writing as if no one is reading it (because maybe no one is! and that’s okay too). I’m super thankful for anyone that would take the time to come to a random website and read a bunch of words strung together by me.

So… let’s get cleaning 🙂
