Day 1

Ok. So here goes something I've wanted to start for a while. Something that makes me equally nervous and excited.  My life has been full of some pretty big changes recently - the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, and what seemed like the loss of a future. But I'm starting to realize that these losses have prompted what is beginning to feel like the prime time of my life. It is time for me to finally take charge of my life, and that is what this blog will document. I have begun a list of goals for my life that I am going to accomplish starting today. There is nothing holding me back from determining what I want for my life and making it happen. I have held back for far too long. I have lived my life consumed by what I think others want from me, by fear of not being perfect. And I can't do it anymore. It is so freeing to think that this is my life. That it's OK if it doesn't meet everyone's approval. That I don't have to be perfect.
So here goes nothing. A journey that is sure to be an interesting one, at least. It will consist of plenty of random thoughts, hopes, dreams, and whatever else I feel like sharing. I'm excited! And I'm celebrating day 1.
