Okay, okay.

I kind of stink at blogging. Not kind of--really. So I'm setting a goal to do better and to be better. Not just with my blog (which still feels completely alien and thus, my aversion to it), but with my life. These last couple of months have had a lot of ups and downs. Mostly downs. In an effort to combat them, I am going to make some improvements in my life, starting (somewhat superficially) with my blog. I'm also hoping that if I publicize my goals, it will help me maintain them. We'll see.

• Let go. Whether it's destructive relationships, material possessions, or regrets--let it go.
• Allow ambition. Life is unexpected, but it's never too late to believe in your dreams, cheesy as it sounds.
• Truly follow your heart (and the Spirit). It's not a foreign concept. Have faith and trust in the Lord.

I'm graduating next week and it's time for another new beginning. I'll be honest--I'm scared. The future, previously mapped and predictable, is now my past, chartered and finite. I couldn't have predicted the outcome to which I am now subjected; it's intimidating and unfamiliar, broad and unnavigable. The options are endless and the opportunities are overwhelming. But as I delineated, faith is the key, and the only firm thing onto which I can hold.
