Hello 2015

Did  know us California folks are practically the last to cross over to the new year? I've never been one for new year resolutions or goals. I'm 27, have a "good" job, comfortable life, but I'm unhappy. In light of that, I figure it's time to try something new.

So, I hereby declare 2015 a year of change.

Tada.

First order of business, start a blog. I always thought it would be a food blog or beauty blog or travel blog. But I think a journey blog is appropriate.

Things I'll do this year:
1. Finally finish reading "Never Eat Alone". Seriously, it's been over 5 years since the book was recommended to me. I never got past the section where you write down the things you want so that you can take the next step to get them. Thing is, I didn't know what I want. I still done. But it's time to do something. Anything.

2. Move. I've been talking about New York for too many years to count. It's time to just do it. Of even SF. Or West LA. Anyway, no more of this suburbia thing that's driving me nuts!

Things that may help me get there:
1. New job. I don't HATE my job. But I don't love it. How people actually love their jobs though? Are you supposed to? Or is that an impossible millennial lie that everyone is unhappily chasing? A job is just a job right. What if I don't love my job but I love my life? And I love my life because my job supports my life? That's a valid option, isn't it?

2. School. I've always been good at school and even enjoyed it (I know, I know). So going back to school seems like a no brainer. That's the thing though. When I actually use my brain and think about it...I'm not sure I want to be back in school. I've always found class room learning to be dry and one dimentional. I have a hard time really applying the concepts to real life. I think I would prefer to learn through life than classrooms. Honestly, for the amount of money I'd spend on a master's degree, I can travel the world and gain much  more valuable life lessons, no?

Full disclosure, option number two is partially in progress. I have 90% completed applications, but due dates are within a week and I'm still not sure. I keep telling myself just apply and see, and I know that's what I need to do. So why aren't I doing it??

I should probably go do it now...

updates soon.

hopefully.
