For the past couple months since my college graduation, life has been drifting. Days upon weeks have been floating past me as I wait every morning hoping I look over at my phone for some good news. I passively wait for good things to come my way believing I deserve it. Why should I not be rewarded and celebrating life the same way I see others?

A glance at my Instagram and Facebook pages shows everything I am jealous of. People from my past are going on big vacations with their lovers or moving to new big cities for their jobs. Meanwhile, I’ve woken up in the same bed everyday this year and in the same city my whole life. I’m stagnant, looped into the mindset that I’ll be stuck in this mud for the rest of my life.

Today, I’m actively trying making a change. I’m committing to becoming more creative and using this blog as a document space. I want to create, write, and think while documenting it here.

I’m inspired by everything around me, but I rarely put it into good use. Here I want to share and create in this present moment. I want to write stories, make music, cook food, share my memories, and live. I don’t want to just exist anymore. I want to thrive.
