In The Beginning...

In the beginning...there was a girl.

A girl unsatisfied with her place in this world.

A girl <stuck> in the mud of life.

A girl...who decided to start a blog.


Every few months (or years...) I dust off my diary and attempt to get back into writing in it daily.

That NEVER happens. I usually just end up summarizing my life for the past however many months it's been since I've last written, stay on track for a few days, and then fall off.

As I go back and read those entries I realize something.......

THEY ARE THE SAME!

So maybe I have a different job or new roommate, but essentially, nothing changes. I am not growing as a person and I am in no way pushing myself any closer to any of my dreams.

Enter the blogging world.

Not that I envision anyone taking the time to read this, but on the off chance that it might happen, this creates ACCOUNTABILITY. Now I have to get my rear off the proverbial couch and get it in gear.

Whether that's my non-existent work out routine,
my guitar that hasn't been practiced since my first lesson,
my piano which I promised myself one day I would learn,
my Spanish that I am losing without practice
the Italian/French/Sign Language/Japanese/Russian I told myself I would at least learn basics in,
the TEACHING CAREER I had wanted to have ALREADY!
the knitting/sewing/crocheting I never learned,
the COLLEGE I have to GO BACK to in order to get my dream of being a TEACHER,
...and everything else that if I list and think about right now might just give me an ulcer.

So, this is for me. But, if you happen to me reading this, I extend a virtual hug (or handshake if that's more your comfort zone) and my thanks for somehow reading all my drivel.

Here we go...Kelsey Langlitz, say hello to life....
