Day 4

I feel like the title of this blog is so appropriate. Originally developed to get me off of Instagram and Facebook while going to the bathroom, this was to get me writing and being productive instead of mindless. Today we drove 8 hours back from Nicks hometown in Chattanooga Tennessee. The lake house his family owns is about an hour north of there. We stopped through on our way back to Charleston, even though it is out of the way, so I could see the town where he grew up and Nicks number one choice of where he would like to settle after we are done traveling. 
Side note: the other blog I've been posting is a combo authorship of Nick and I. We want to have memories of our travels and so we started the blog together. I know I'll be doing most of the writing, but will always consult him before releasing a final draft. All this gibberish is just me. End side note. 

So I'm moving, again. It's honestly hilarious that I can't stay in one place for more than 6 months. Nick wants to teach at his alma mater, Baylor, which is a prestigious private school on the most beautiful campus. There is this thought that I might teach there too, but seriously? Me teach high school again? I could be a yoga instructor, sup instructor, sup yoga instructor, bartender, nanny, sign language teacher, so many things. My only real plan is to go back to school to get my interpreters certification. American Sign Language. I love the language and would love even more to give more deaf people access to spoken English. 

I think this blog is great for me because it is letting my thoughts unfold. Well, as fast as my thumbs can move. I should really hook my laptop back up for these posts. Maybe tomorrow. 

What do I want to do. I know I don't have to decide right now, but what if I dont even know?? How will I find out? Will it just hit me? I need to listen to more Wayne Dyer speeches and then maybe it'll come to me.

Day 1


Creativity. 

Day 1 was all I could come up with to start this challenge. Writing for 30 days. This seems perfect for me, it's like my sister always knows what I need. In exactly 30 days I am packing up a uhaul and moving all our stuff to Tennessee. My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year now, but have been living together since I moved back from Hawaii in May. In fact, as of right now we have spent the same amount of time living together and doing long distance. 6 months is a long time to do long distance. Or to live with someone. I guess that's why we know we like each other so much. He's definitely a keeper. 
In 30 days were packing up the apartment and then unpacking all of our stuff into his brothers attic. From there we are going to travel for 2 - 6 or maybe even more months. There is so much on my mind with that, but for now I'm just going to look forward to the change. I'm also looking to find more of my purpose in life. And I'm looking for an adventure.it feels good to write again. I don't know why I don't do this all the time. Even though it's not so cohesive or even coherent perhaps, it's still so nice to let my thoughts flow from my finger tips. 
30 days. Fresh starts. Adventure 
I love the thing that the chick said about blogging. To know your audience and speak to them. To find out who is reading what you write and then write it to them, those are the people you want to attract anyway.  
On to more attracting :)
