Back in the fall of 2010, I met a(nother) guy at one of my (many) internships. I was convinced (as I always am) that this was the time. This would be the guy who I finally date. Maybe we’d make out. Maybe we’d have an illicit office romance. Maybe some of that would happen in the supply closet. I don’t know - I thought many things.
And that’s when I started blogging. In the lead up to this would-be relationship. I thought I could chronicle a single, white, clueless girl’s first foray into dating. I could write my anxieties, making a calm-cool-collected facade that much easier to fake. A few weeks later, the dream of a relationship was already out the window - same old song and dance.
But what did last was my blog. Throughout the next year and a half, instead of chronicling a blossoming relationship, I chronicled the times of a girl who was just trying to figure it out. Have I figured it out? Am I any less clueless? Well...depends how you define the word clueless I suppose.
Many have pointed at that word in the name of this blog and thought of it with a negative connotation. I’ve never seen it that way though. Sure, I don’t think I get relationships. But at the same time...does anyone our age? Even people in relationships have moments of cluelessness. Moments of questioning. And not just about love. About life.
And that leads me to my announcement. Single, White and Clueless is about to be put to rest. Not because I am no longer single, white or clueless. No - because I’m living a life that can be defined as something else as well - questionable.
Questionable behavior abounds for our generation and anyone else in the transition between dependence and adulthood. It’s a perspective I’ve only taken one angle of - but there are so many more. So my college friend, Tue, and myself have become business partners and are about to embark on a new journey: thequesitonable.com
