First, I want to explain the whole ‘stratus thoughts’ thing and what that means to me. I’ve been on tumblr since middle school, and it’s always been cool to have either a super edgy or simplistic user name. All the good simplistic ones were taken, so I went with edgy and came up with ‘stratusthoughts.’ However, I do believe that this phrase has something to do with my personality. I consider myself a writer, even though it’s been years since I’ve actually written something that I take pride in owning. When it comes to writing my thoughts down, I feel as if I can never get it just right. I never believe that what I’ve written is good enough or makes sense – I make up every excuse not to put it out into the world. It’s not that I think that my thoughts are bad. I believe I am a very thoughtful person that has quality ideas that could improve the world around me. However, it’s been a long time since any of those thoughts have been published. Therefore, most of my thoughts kind of float around in my head like clouds. Thus, the birth of stratus thoughts.
