Constant
As most you of know, I moved to college in August and posting went down dramatically. Everyone says blogging and going to college is a feat and I believe them. But that's not what I want to talk about here.
I want to talk about my constant state of being surrounded by people and how I am always learning new things from them. How I am constantly wanting to be out of my room and out enjoying the outdoors - something I didn't do much when I was home. There are so many things to discover here that it's kind of baffling how many new things I can learn every day.
I don't sit at home alone on Saturday nights anymore. I go out with friends and go dancing. I go listen to that band that's actually really good play at that little side street restaurant that only locals know about. I am constantly going. Constantly happy.
I don't have a fear of talking to people anymore like I used to. It takes a certain kind of confidence to have a deep, hour long conversation with someone you've only met a couple of times. I have a constant thirst for meeting new people and discovering new things.
I have a job as a hostess at a local restaurant. I meet people from all over the world everyday I work. Sometimes, these people sit outside with me and tell me their life story while smoking a cigarette and some just walk by with a quick hello. There's nothing more enlightening and heartwarming than hearing a man express his love for his granddaughter or hearing a soldier on leave tell you how long its been since he's seen a girl with her hair down.
So, as I sit here on my dorm room floor, sipping coffee at eight o' clock at night, I have no regrets about not keeping this blog up. Because I've been living and experiencing new things. And that's all I've ever wanted to do. And now, I have an archive of stories and experiences I can share here.
I don't know where the aesthetic of this blog may go, but I know it will be somewhere great and somewhere where I am completely content.
As time goes on, I only hope you will stick with me and be here to hear my stories. Because if there is one true thing I can tell you, it's that there will soon be a constant stream of new stories coming your way. Stories of discovery, friendship, laughter, a little bit of heartbreak, and above anything else, happiness. See you there. :)
have a beautiful day and live your dream
That's amazing. I'm really happy for you. I didn't adapt to college life well at all - I'm not really a party person, or a going out at night person, and my social anxiety became paralyzing living in a dorm. I love hearing about your opposite experience.
ReplyDeleteEvery day is a new adventure in one's life. And from time to time we need a respite from blogging. But no fear we are still with you when you are ready to share your stories :)
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in constant. Life is crazy and unpredictable and we just have to go with it. Each day is a new adventure waiting to happen, even if it seems like just "another" day. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that's great. It's awesome that you are getting to experience so much.
ReplyDeleteI love how happy you are! I'm pretty happy right now with my life too, I feel like I've never been happier :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post, and glad to see you are so happy. I enjoy blogging but feel like I can't keep up, things come up that are so much more important!
ReplyDeleteAn awesome post. I'm glad you are getting all of these new experiences!
ReplyDeleteExperiences are what make us, us. Glad you are on the constant path of new chances to learn.
ReplyDeletebeing able to experience new things in life is what makes us so unique and excited to see whats next for us. I'm happy you're able to do so! Happy Blogging!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I took a break from social media the last two weeks. Its refreshing to be back with a new light.
ReplyDeleteCollege is an amazing time. I learned so much there, not just in class but outside of class. So I totally agree that it's ok to put your blog to the side and fully enjoy the college experience. Make the most of this time - you'll remember it for the rest of your life!
ReplyDeleteexperience is the key to life. I wish I experienced more, traveled more before getting married... but hindsight. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This means so much!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I try to remember this everyday!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Let try and keep up the positive energy!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way! Blogging is one of my favorite things to do and life keeps getting busier and busier but I must find time for it!
ReplyDeletewell said! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to those stories!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're enjoying life, which is great! Definitely should be out and about to enjoy new experiences. Good luck! <3
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Can't wait to read your upcoming posts ;)
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate- blogging definitely fell through the cracks for me this semester, but I don't regret it at all- I had so much fun and accomplished so many things! But I also can't wait to get back into blogging once the semester is over :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good post. I sturggle with this as well. I am needing to find the time to make this more of a priority to get done.
