So, I am finally entering the world of blogging. I am very excited and hope that people will become involved and create an interesting dialogue, as that seems to be one of the most rewarding things about having one. I want to write this blog for several of the myriad reasons people begin them: a creative outlet, a way to vent about daily pressures in these crazy times, and hopefully, to provide people with something they can relate to.
As my title implies, I am a twenty-something just trying to find direction in the uncertain period of life after graduation and before…well…everything else. Out of college more than a year now, the season of change is quickly approaching, or at least I would like it to be. That is, by the way, in no reference to the lovely autumn we are enjoying. That would be a little too corny. I simply mean that I am ready for some new excitement and a feeling like I am making some progress toward the elusive “satisfying” career. Coming back to live in my hometown after college creates a nagging feeling of being somewhat stagnant, albeit comfortable. Going for that first outdoor jog after a winter of sporatic treadmill workouts is never a totally easy transition. But once those muscles get warmed up and swampy gym air is swapped for crisp fresh air, the benefits are clear and the increased effort isworth it!
I do not want to start this out with a negative tone, so I’ll have to make sure the many positive things in my life get some face-time. I have a wonderful family, with three siblings and two parents, whose love I’ve never questioned. I am in love with a beautiful, intelligent woman and I have the clicheed friends from college who will always be there for me for whom I am very grateful.
Im not altogether sure where this blog will take me, or what its main content will be, but I suppose thats part of the fun of it. I’ll be glad to take any of your criticism and do not hesitate to tell me if Im complaining too much because chronic complaining is a poisonous thing that I hope to avoid on this blog, taking into account that a little bit of complaining is part of life, or at least mine anyways.
I have to say once more how excited I am that I am finally starting a blog. Its crazy to think just how many there are of you out there, and even more crazy knowing that thousands of you created your own blog on the same day as I created mine.
Goodnight everyone.
