I Never Finish Things

Right now I'm watching The X-Files, a show that I've never finished. Lately I've been listening to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer theme song—another show that I've never finished. I’ve been thinking about finishing The Mortal Instruments. I had an idea for a poem earlier that I never wrote because I didn’t even finish the thought. Last night I was bored so I wrote a paragraph in a book I was writing a few years ago that I never finished. I’ve been thinking about a short story I was going to submit in 2023 that I haven’t finished editing. And today I was organizing my bookshelves and realized they were filled with books that I haven’t finished. And if you can believe it, I haven’t even finished organizing my bookshelves yet.

I don’t finish things. 

I never have, be it movies, tv shows, books, etc. My Google Docs is filled to the brim with stories and poems left unfinished. I’ve always known that I don’t finish things, it’s like an inside joke that I have with myself. I just hate endings. I remember when the second Teen Beach Movie came out on Disney Channel, I watched it live with my mom and when it was over I felt empty. I hated that I had finished it. I remember that the next day I cried about how it ended, that it had ended and that there was nothing I could do about it. Ever since then I’ve had an affinity for not finishing things.

I had the idea for this earlier, a blog where I share with the public what I’m reading, writing, watching, and maybe I’ll actually finish them this time. Today I started Bone Criers Moon by Kathryn Purdie. I won’t talk about it too much right now, but I’ll tell you that  it’s going to be the topic of my blog posts until I finally (and hopefully) finish it. I’ve been writing a story that I’m going to start posting here too, the thought being that if people are reading it, then people are depending on me to finish it. And if there’s anything as certain as me not finishing things, it’s that I hate to let people down. So hopefully this finds the right people, who will believe that I can finish something, and want to follow me as I do. 

I wanted to keep this brief, just an introduction, and in my typical fashion I’m not going to
