Day 1

Over much thought I have decided to start my first blog.


I am going to spend 365 days trying new things to discover who exactly I want to be, or more really what I inspire to be. Every day trying a new activity...a new task.... challenge my mind and my body to do things it might not always want to do. Check things off "the list" (Which is on the right hand side of this blog), find things that excite my mind, but also find things that maybe I don't particularly enjoy. The thought behind it.... one day I will discover exactly who I am, what I value, and what I believe in. My hope is to make mistakes along the way... grow... maintain my morals and values, and to live a little. Not all things are going to make me happy, and Im not going to excel at everything. But who knows-- Maybe I will find a new calling, find the inner doctor/artist/yoga master in me. Oh boy the list could go on. 


So what is the first new thing I tried for this project? I'm sure you could guess this one. My Blog!! As much as I wish my first new "task" was more exciting this one was a lot of work. Maybe by the end of this year I will be able to add Blogger to the list of things I just described myself as in the "about me" section. One can only dream. So what were the hardest parts in starting this blog. The name!!! My Blog is all about finding myself, about finding true happiness, about trying new things. So I thought about it.... The Happiness Project,-- taken and now there is a book about it. to be jennifer casey-- rather boring, not sure how many people would want to be me (I like to think most people do). The runner up--flawedequalsperfection-- based off a saying I actually just found today "Flawed can be more perfect then perfection" which I plan on proving in this exact blog... and will probably be my new quote possibly for the rest of the year. Im not going to be perfect at everything, nor am I going to be perfect at everything Im passionate about. Who wants to be perfect anyways??? Now I have the option to put my personality into everything, make it my own.


So what did I land on... 


idontwant2wait




With some much needed input from my older sister we came across idontwant2wait. Its actually a song title by Paula Cole. The chorus being....


I dont want to wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be
I dont want to wait
For our lives to be over
will it be yes or will it be
sorry


So first things first Im not very good at reading the inner messages in songs. But what I take from this.. is that I really just want to know what I am all about right now. Of course I don't want to wait to know the things that truly make me happy, and of course I don't want my life to be over! Also the song was on Dawson's Creek, so who can go wrong with that?  And thats what happened....BOOM!  A blog title. A day down of trying something new, only 364 days to go. March 23rd 2012 probably won't come soon enough!
