Is it completely cliche to start a blog on New Year's Day? In my defense, as I'm writing this, there are only 20 minutes left in the day. And sometimes I feel like you need a little cliche in your life.
I read up on a bunch of ways to start a blog in order for it to be "successful" (which in my mind means that at least a few people read it) and I learned that I need to have a purpose for this blog. But what if the blog is the purpose? Here's the thing, I'm an overweight, 26-year-old, lovesick, young professional feeling a little bit stuck. Do I want those things to define me? Absolutely not. So that's where this blog comes in. More than anything, I need a place to put all my thoughts down and try to figure them out. But while I'm doing that, why can't I share some of my joys, heartbreaks, embarrassments, and accomplishments along the way? So here's where I start:
I'm Lauren. 26-years-old, passionate about the work I do and yearning to find some balance and inner peace in my personal life. This blog will be a place for me to discuss my weight loss journey, my love life (or lack there of), and my embarrassing attempts at trying to make connections with people. This new year is about evolution for me. I don't necessarily want to change myself, but I do want to evolve into something more. I haven't quite figured out what that is, but hopefully by the end of the year I'll have a clearer idea.
So join me on this "journey" if you enjoy reading about awkward sexual encounters, personal triumphs, overwhelming work days, and trying to find that elusive "balance" in life. I promise to have more intent with my writing than I do with this post. Maybe organizing and planning will become a thing for me this year. Doubtful, but let's keep our fingers crossed.
