(no subject)
I really wanted to start a new journal. I wanted to make my move to "blogger". I tried a couple of times in the past, but it never really caught on even though it's more convenient, it syncs with my Google account and it would be nice to have a fresh start; no more baggage of the past. But, I can't do that. Fact: this journal has more of my history recorded in one place than any other thing on this earth. And that is why, instead of altering the path, the journey will just continue here. I'm going to start a blog for my 1st year of teaching experiences because I think it will be comical and I want it all in one place, not tacked on to the end of entries about my life.
I feel like this will be the greatest year of firsts. First time living alone. First time being single in 6 years. First time working a job with a salary & benefits. First time making all decisions on my own, entirely. First time paying bills. First time the possibility of a dog of my own is more a reality than a fantasy.
All firsts aside, I think this is exactly what i need. I need time to figure out exactly what i want without the pressure of anyone else's agenda. I owe this to myself and I am prepared to be selfish for a little while here. It might sound terrible, but it's true- everyone needs time to breathe and learn themselves inside out, and that time for me is now.
Refreshed, anxious, and ready for life to take the lead.
