I cannot believe it is June 1st already. I have spent the past month with little structure, but with large goals (some important, some less important) that I have worked towards, and others that I just finally started working on because I finally lost the courage to fail.
A small, abbreviated list of goals I wanted to accomplish are as follows: do yoga every day, make sure I get to the gym as often as possible, treat my skin well, watch all nine seasons of Scrubs, write every day,keep this blog up and functional, start learning Russian, spend exuberant amount of time with my family, and begin learning about Java Script. I had previously discussed some of these goals in a previous blog post, and although they sound bizarre and slightly random, they all served in my mission to better myself. It feels good to say I have finally achieved goals; it has given me confidence to take on greater challenges. One of my most proudest moments this month is that I did, indeed, finish all nine seasons of Scrubs. And although this blog may seem extremely trivial and very random, everyone must start somewhere. We do not all become amazing writers in a month, but I want to become an amazing writer one day. I want to be able to critically think about a myriad of subjects and allow the prose to flow out onto paper and appeal to my desired audience in the most strategic way possible. Like anything else, we must practice, and we must start somewhere. This past month of blogging has been my start. It has been quite a lot of fun because it has made me interested in writing techniques and strategies. This has inspired me to read other blogs on a plethora of different subjects. From technical to makeup, I have been learning so much about style and communication. I am not yet sure what purpose I want this blog to serve- there is no particular one thing I can post about without even myself finding it incredibly boring, so I believe it will continue to be whatever comes to mind. Whatever inspires me. That, to me, keeps things both fresh and fun. Tomorrow I move to Baltimore to begin an internship. I have to say, I am ecstatic about the opportunity to work somewhere I love, and doing something I am very passionate about. This is what dreams are made of, people. Although I am sad to leave my family, new journeys and new destinations are actually what this blog is all about. Walking through life and exploring new things has always been what I am good at. Conceiving new goals, chasing after the extraordinary, and sometimes being side tracked by smaller destinations along the way is what life is all about. I am not going to edit the beginning of this blog to redefine the purpose of this blog because that would defeat the purpose. It is amazing how only in a few sentences, it is almost as if I had an epiphany. A change of destination for this blog. This, friends, is a lesson in itself. Start, and be patient, because you will never know where you will end up. I don't think I have any more words of wisdom for now, so this is where this post ends. Thank you, as always, for allowing me to not only practice being a better writer, but to also find myself in a different place with each blog post. Here's to that.
