Welcome to Broken Fall, a personal blog and resource website owned by me, a 17-year-old girl named Rachel. I live in the United States and am in the twelfth grade.

Thank you so much to the people who left comments on my last blog. I really appreciate those who left comments knowing full well I wasn’t planning to return them. You all left some really inspirational messages, and I’m feeling much better about my college options now. In fact, I’m really excited to go to the University of Michigan this fall! Thanks so much, everyone.
On that note, I love blogging, but I must say I absolutely hate returning comments. Such is my predicament. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading and commenting on people’s blogs. Even just over the past few days, I have commented on several blogs for no reason other than that I had something to say about what they said. I haven’t even been expecting responses.
Maybe that’s what I need to do. Actually responding to the comments people leave me is hard work, and the huge amount of time it takes is what I really hate about returning comments. When I do return comments, it feels like that’s all I can do, and it is so easy to get behind. Maybe I’ll just leave comments on people’s blogs when they comment on mine. I would only comment on the blog itself, not what the person said in their comment on mine. If I have something I really want to say about the comment, I can just reply on my site or something.
You know what? That’s what I’ll do. I can’t let internet society’s standards come in the way of doing what I love! I love to blog, and I’ll do it my own way. I’m not even the only one; I’m pretty sure Mallory does the same type of thing with her comments. *high five*
On a similar note, I’m not so sure about this website anymore. I don’t like the domain as much as I used to (I really want a one-word name), and I haven’t added content to it in what feels like a really long time. It has only been a little over five weeks, but I just haven’t felt like making anything, and I don’t know that I will want to in the future either.
I think I might take this change in mindset as a chance to start over. One of my favorite domains, Undenied.us has been neglected; maybe I’ll move this little shindig over there and start anew. I’m thinking of just blogging, and there’s no reason why I can’t just start adding content again if I feel like it.
No matter what, I’m not going to let Broken Fall expire. All my other websites are hosted on Broken Fall as add-on domains, and besides, it’s my baby!
I’m not going to change anything right away. I feel comfortable blogging here, so this is where I will stay for now.
I’m sorry for writing the most boring blog of the century; please forgive me!
