So It Begins!

So, I’ve finally done it.

I’ve thought about starting a blog for quite a while now. I used to blog when I was younger – and by that, I mean that I used to post religiously on Livejournal, divulging the details of my teenage shenanigans to a bunch of people on the internet. I loved it. I loved writing down my thoughts and documenting my adventures, and I loved the friendships I developed through it.

And then I went to college. And, honestly, I got too busy. Between school, work, extracurricular activities, and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, I didn't have time for hobbies. As ridiculous as that sounds, it was true. Every moment of my life was devoted to something – or someone – other than myself.  Writing became a chore.

I've been out of school for almost two years now, and I’m all out of excuses. It's time. I’m going to start writing again.

About what, you ask?

About the things that I love. I love to cook and bake. I love wine. I love spending time outdoors. I love getting into shape – a project that I've recently embarked on. I love exploring new places, whether it’s a restaurant down the street from my apartment or a city halfway around the world. I love discovering my own personal style.

And if you couldn't tell from that - I love making lists.

I hope you'll join me on this journey of self-discovery and wine-fueled nonsensical ramblings.
