So here I go. Day one of my 365 day adventure. Maybe adventure is too thrilling of a word… Challenge? Yes, challenge is more like it. Because that is really what this is, a year long challenge to myself, to commit to writing every day. I am graduating from college in May, and since I was little I pictured my life after all the “responsibilities” of school; when I would be old enough to do what I pleased, when I pleased. Unfortunately, responsibility only grows, education being the least of which. Now I have bills and bosses. The romantic ideals of travel and free time are a luxury not many people experience. Myself included. For most of us, it is just getting by, day to day. So I have decided that this year, I won’t put off my writing until I am sitting in a European cafe with endless time, coffee, a pastry, and a stack of novels as high as the empire state building (cliche, I know). Instead, I am going to “bloom where I am planted”. Which, currently, is in my bed withGlen Hansard & Markéta Irglová playing on my laptop, and a pile of independent study work next to me (that I should probably be doing instead of this).
So this is my 365 day challenge, because I can’t wait on life, I have to make the most of what it is, where I am. I have to be all here, or I will miss it all.
