I'm Hannah. That's me in the picture during my best impersonation of a young professional.
I'm a pretty average white 20-something with a penchant for geekery, liturgy, and really great tea.
And since childhood, I've been known as the girl who will try just about anything at least once. You know, that kid who would always pick "dare" on truth or dare and never minded following through. That's me, with the exception of hard drugs and death.
I once had the horrible idea that that sentiment would be the only thing people could think to put on an epitaph of my life: "Here lies Hannah Shanks. At least she tried."
For the better part of the last 6 years I've been running my life under the idea that trying isn't good enough and that, really, only perfection is worth celebrating.
And that was dumb.
So here's a celebration of trying things.
This blog isn't going to be perfect. In fact, it will probably be pretty dumb most of the time. But it's step one on the path of the "Hannah tries new things" adventure. And, after all, what average white 20 something doesn't have a blog?
