Why am I doing this?

Sometimes I find myself why I'm writing this blog. If I think about it--really think about it--I know that it is because the more I write the better writer I will be and the better writer I am the more successful I will be and the more successful I am *hopefully* the happier I will be.

But sometimes I don't really think about it. Sometimes I ask myself why am I doing this? And I don't have an answer. Sometimes I just want to let Netflix keep playing the next episode or I want to play a game with my roommates or I want to read.

Sometimes I don't want to write.

Even though I know I should.

So, here's "I do not want to write this blog" written in the top 25 most spoken languages in the world:

Full disclaimer: the only language I am fluent in is English. Other than that I only know a small amount of Spanish and a large amount of sarcasm. I also know I am sometimes an unknowingly ignorant white person. I have always been fascinated with language and the power of words, and although idea for this blog came from a place of procrastination and writer's block, I also had a lot of fun looking into other languages--researching about the places languages that I was unfamiliar with are spoken, looking at their alphabets. That being said, I looked up the most spoken languages on Wikipedia and then translated with Google so this is not the most scholarly approach possible. If you know a better translation, or if you think there is something important that I forgot or misrepresented, I am very open to constructive criticisms.
