Self-indulgent, attention-seeking, therapy?

Like many other things I now frequently do (spending time with the parents, baking cakes, walking just for the sake of walking) I previously frowned upon blogging. I also frown upon words transformed from nouns to verbs. Like text and texting.

However recently the constant inner dialogue in my head has become a little too much to bare, so I felt it was time to release the beast. I am also currently super interested in zines and blogs, but lack of creativity and effort leaves me feeling a blog would be better rather than a full on zine. Although will a five month long holiday filled with nothing coming up, who knows.

And so tea and difficulties was born. I deliberated about deliberating long and hard about the title, and then realised I'm really just too impatient for deliberation, and thought tea and difficulties would do nicely. I think it hits the nail on the head pretty perfectly actually. I like tea (but not your regular tea. Peppermint, green, darjeeling, anything but regular) and I certainly have a lot of difficulties. So here we are.

Perhaps I shall become a huge internet hit. Or perhaps I shall slowly stop losing my mind. The latter would most definitely be preferable.

And also I've now idea how to 'sign off''. I feel the need to put something catchy at the end, do show I'm done. But what? I like 'salutations' but that's clearly a greeting rather than a farewell. A salute would work but that's more of a visual. I say 'laters' a lot but really it's not particularly eloquent. And ciao is just to pretentious. So for now entries will remain endless.
