The FIRST Step.......

Hello World,

So I've never actually been the type to write about emotions or my feelings about things. I've never had a diary that i hid under my pillow or wrote my deepest feelings or secrets in. I preferred to keep my feelings and emotions inside and only take them out when necessary....kinda like a secret. Secrets are meant to be kept inside and they only come out when its needed or when someone has a big month......very similar to emotions. LOL.

I'm an internalizer ( i made up that word) but that doesn't mean I'm afraid to share my emotions or anything like that. Its quite the opposite. I'm not afraid to feel a certain way about things or feel differently than others. Nor am i afraid to speak what's on my mind regardless of whether it'll be accepted not. I just feel like I'd rather keep it all inside until it makes sense to me before blurting it out because i don't like unnecessary drama and stress in my life. Like i said earlier i follow my own beat at my own pace regardless of what's around me. I feel like i have an interesting view on life and a sometimes convoluted mind, from time to time things are black and white to me but most times things are gray because most of life is full of gray areas. Nothing is ever certain or sure... just like the quote by French author, Rochefoucauld, "the only thing constant in life is change" and I'm embracing it all.

There's going to be a lot going on in my life soon and i want to be able to document it all and be able to look back at things. I'm about to go in Co-op to Greece, my first time abroad by myself. YAY!!!!! So this is going to be like a video/picture/everything blog. Its also going to be a chance for me to prove to myself and my family that I'm well on my way to becoming my own person in the world. Hopefully by the end of this my parents will stop seeing a little girl and finally see a woman....because its about time they see me for who i am. Also i hope to grow leaps and bounds and experience sooo many new and wonderful things abroad. I mean what's the purpose of travelling to a new country and immersing yourself in a new culture if you're not going to try a couple of new things. Feta cheese, Gyros, Greek yogurt and many other things here i come!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Btw, not everyone is going to be privy to all my entries because i am a private person, so if i do let you in feel very special!!! =)
