Go

Opportunity is everywhere. Strong short sentences like that are meant to inspire by stating simple truths.  And it usually works.  Really driving home the point, albeit saying something very obvious and common sensical.  Spinning around in my head too much typically has me dwelling in feelings of being stuck. But that could not be more wrong. I've always felt behind where I 'should' be. Should is a terrible word. One quick and all too overused a syllable that can make you feel like 2 cents, as my mom puts it. But I have always felt behind my peers - friends and acquaintances my age - not physically or intellectually but emotionally and creatively. This absence of creativity in my life has reared its head in such a major way just in the past few years and spurned a gnawing that I haven't been able to satisfy. And it doesn’t seem to go away.  This stifled urge to do/create/write something.  Something.  Preferably something worthy of amazement and impressive and prideful, but something nonetheless. Admittedly my attempts have been meek. So here I seek my outlet and hope for the best.  Now. Now is the time to stop waiting for life to happen to me and go out and get it. Do something. Make something happen. Or stop complaining about it for god’s sake.

So what do you do in 2012 when you don’t know how to express yourself and you need an outlet for your thoughts?  You write a blog.  And all your problems are magically solved and everything comes together.  Right?  I’ve seen Julie & Julia and therefore know this to be true, but what’s wild is that I even know some actual people who have done this and found these crazy, exciting, fulfilling, new paths for themselves.  So it's got to be worth a shot.  Or at the very least I can share the chaotic frenzy that is my life with no one in particular and hope that it offers some laughter from time to time.  If anyone ever reads it.
