Why create a blog?

That's a good question. I want to be able to someway use my life experiences and journey to inspire, encourage, and uplift someone. I'm not a wealthy person. I'm not a size 6 or 8 even. No where near perfect, but I'm keeping my head high. I'm your typical 20-something girl. Well, kinda. I got a degree to get a job that I never really wanted to do. I am thankful for my job, and my ability to sustain myself, but I wanted so much more out of this life. I used to write, like everyday nonstop. Created a good short story, thought about writing a book, and even opening my own business. That all seems like a distant memory. Those days of looking toward the future.

Yeah, yeah. It's not too late, but now I have a job and responsibilities, so what's a girl to do? I want to travel the world and see what's out there. I got my passport not too long ago. I just want to get up and go. Maybe I will. Maybe I will get inspired by someone who reads this to get up and go.

It's funny, because in college, I was so sure of myself. Somehow, being on my own has taught me to reevaluate myself. I thought I was the best friend anyone could ever have. The best person alive period. And somehow, in the three years since I've left college, I feel like I don't know crap. What was that all for? Didn't I go to college to learn? I mean, yeah, I know how to do my job, but what about everything else? I guess that's what I'm learning now. Real life.

That's what this blog is. Real life.
