Beginning... again...

           Let me begin by revealing a few things about myself: I am a mother. I am a student. I am one-half of a wonderful, romantic relationship. I am many things, but I am only one person. Sometimes I am not like myself at all, other times I am too much like myself. How do I know who I really am? I don’t. Who does? Everything that happens around us is what makes us who we are. Every sound you hear, every move you make, every taste, touch, and smell influences who you are. Who do I want to be? I want to be someone who loves life. I want to be someone who wakes up every day knowing that I am truly happy. Who do you want to be? Do you know? Are you still trying to figure it out?

I searched for this answer for a very long time… only to discover that all I want out of this very short life is happiness. Is happiness enough for you? It is for me. Although there are many aspects of my life that make me extremely happy, there are also things that I need to make better; certain things that I need to improve in order to be truly happy: THIS IS MY GOAL.

            How will blogging help? One thing I need to improve is my CAREER. Currently, I don’t have one, which makes it obvious as to why it needs improvement. I want to be a writer. I have always wanted to be a writer. I will always want to be a writer. Expressing my emotions using the written word is so fulfilling. Creating imaginary worlds filled with impossible dreams is like floating through the starry sky; completely calm, relaxed, and so very excited! That is what happiness feels like to me. What does it feel like to you?

            My brother and sister-in-law got me a fantastic gift for Christmas this year! A journal containing 642 writing prompts. Sometimes it is so much easier to express creativity when you already have something to go on! I also believe that some of these prompts could be great fun to follow… I have decided to share them with you! Each day I will compose a blog entry based on a different prompt. I hope you can enjoy my writing as much as I enjoy composing it for you.
