first post

Hesitantly trying to get back into blogging. There's a lot that's been on my mind on and off before starting this, things that have been holding me back from picking the habit back up.

• I've really only had very personal blogs before. Most of my posts from, say, my LiveJournal back in the day were very stream of consciousness, full of fandom-related content, netspeak, keymashing. The only posts of interest were pictures (which now I have Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr for) or hyper-emotional super-personal things I really don't want floating around on the internet.
• Which leads me to my second concern, keeping a good balance of personal and web presence persona, so to speak. If anyone decides to read this, I want them to have a sense of who I am, but at the same time I can't say I'm comfortable sharing a lot of details about my life to complete stranger.
• Content-wise, I'm not entirely sure what to blog about, even! Cosplay? Beauty products? Food? A little of everything?  I hope no one will mind.

But I'm getting ahead of myself here, stuck over thinking things before anything even happens. It's a bad habit, so even if it's just a blog, I'd like to start taking a little more action here and there.

So hello, here's me!

I posted a more heavily filtered version of this to my Instagram, but I decided I like this one better, actually. This was me getting made up to try out new lower lashes, which are still quite tricky for me. I had a lot of trouble with falsies when I first started using them, but by now I'm pretty used to the application process... so hopefully it'll be the same case with the lower ones as well.

Now that I look at my selfies again, though, the lower lashes aren't even visible in most of the pictures I took! Seems like every time I get new lower lashes, I tend to err on the side of too natural. At least at $1.50 a pop from DAISO, I can afford to try again.
