To Blog or Not to Blog...
In the efforts of self-actualization and all that jazz, I've decided that maybe I should try to write some blogs again. Entries that aren't just about traveling (since my 'real job' has put the kibosh on that). I'm not exactly sure what I'll be writing...but a lot of things have been changing in my life, so a platform to explore these changes and analyze them will be helpful. A tantalizing preview:
1)Love.
2)School/Professional life.
3)Fitness
These are the three main themes in my life at the moment. Sometimes it's overwhelming to realize that I've almost certainly reached the end of the "fake adult" stage of life. There is potential and energy at work here that has been absent or muted in the past.
I'll start from the bottom: Fitness. I finally chained my lazy demons in March and started out on a fitness/health regime that has actually worked. The results are in! While I have more work to do, at the rate I've been going I should be at my goal around March/April of next year. While I did this for me (it has to be for oneself otherwise it just won't work in the long-term), there was another catalyst involved which leads me to a nice segue:
Love.
In a few weeks, more will be said on this subject. Suffice it to say for now, I believe that I'm on the track to have found a very special, very wonderful man. This is a man I can very easily image myself with for the rest of my life. Scary stuff, folks. For many who know me, I've always been of the "if and when I marry I'll probably be at least 30" mindset. But this relationship has made me realize that if it's right, it's right and there's no use placing artificial boundaries around something that feels natural.
School/Professional...
Still on the fence about a lot of this. I need to see where everything else is going before I make a decision. I know have support in whatever I do (which is so important), but the logistics of it have the potential to be sticky, so I need to do a lot of careful planning.
I feel more centered than I've ever felt in my entire life. I go through my days with a feeling of purpose (at the moment that's mostly just fitness, but it will be replaced by more professional/academic aspirations as time goes on) and surreal other-worldliness...which I attribute to my pretty much constant residence on cloud 9.
I can't wait to see where this is all going to go.
