First, thank you all so much for the texts and emails and messages asking about why I'm not blogging and when I'm going to start again - I NEED that accountability! It's been hard, and the writer's block I've been feelings is because right now, I just don't know. As for the non-existent blog, here's part of the why:
The life of a twenty-something graduate. Completely uncharted territory.
We have a plan laid out for us as children, go to school. Keep going to school. Keep going. College! Yay! Because college will get you a job.
Then eventually, we are supposed to get married and start our own families.
But here I am, a twenty-something college grad, with a great job. But the biggest question is NOW WHAT? What am I supposed to do with this time in between? There's no instructions, no guide to what I'm supposed to be doing. What happens between point A and point B? This is life's great mystery for me at the moment.
And while I may not know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing, the point is for me to do something. To learn. Live. Grow. Figure it out, a step at a time. AND IT'S HARD. Because if you know me, I like to plan (not as much as before, I'm letting go, I promise!). Not knowing is scary and it's hard, but with this whole stepping into the unknown thing, it's kind of great. Because I may not know what's in store for the future, but I am getting to know myself a lot more.
So hey, at this point, there's no guide for what I should do, which means I've got to go out and explore! I'll keep y'all updated with my life as best as I can while navigating these waters.
