Who is anthropological girl?
My first real journal entry... If you can call it that. This is my home to share all my thoguhts about society, about myself, and about anything that comes to my mind. After all, I am anthroplogical girl.
I created this website with the support of my dearest friend harper. She is anthropophrenic girl). It comes after a long period of time spent contemplating picking up my real journal. I think I've always felt a sense of unease about writing. I read texts or hear about my friends writing poetry for slam competitions and just think wow... I could never convey my emotions in such a compelling way. But that stops today. I hope that by creating this website I may have a platform to flesh out anything that comes to mind because you cannot improve at something if you do not try.
As an introduction about myself, I think I have always maintained an interest surrounding society at large. I studied sociology from the age of 13 and the I distinctly remember finding it fascinating how I could read a text and understand directly what it meant. It felt like you could look around and direcly piece together what researchers were observing when say marxists were trying to understanding what the meaning of education was.. As I've spent more of my time immersed in the study of social life, I've found more enjoyment in exploring topics like the body, self identity and how the physical spaces around us are implicated in this. Academic interests aside, I love to go on long walks, spend time with my loved ones, pet my neighbours cat, crochet and read. My time is split between the UK and Netherlands where my partner resides. I hope that this space is something I continue to develop but there is a good chance I may give up after one entry.
