Last night, my long time friend Chappy and I were talking about the circumstances that lead me back to school (in 1999, when I was 26). I told her if it hadn’t been for her helping me with the entry essay, I never would have gotten in. She then said “I always knew you’d go someday, it was just a matter of you finding yourself.” Completely flattered (and a bit stunned) by her statement, I couldn’t help to think “Funny I don’t feel like I ever found myself.” (Obviously I have her completely fooled.)
Today while watching the 2009 movie “Julie & Julia,” I realized just like the main character Julie, I too have a problem finishing anything. I got so swept away with the story and as the ending credits rolled I began to search for a resolution / project that I could do as a way of testing myself (to see if I am capable of accomplishing something).
Enter this idea of creating and maintaining a blog for one full year, 365 days, beginning today, Friday January 1, 2010 at 7:27 pm (EST) and ending Saturday, January 1, 2011 at 7:27 pm (EST). (You thought I was going to do a cooking blog, didn’t you? Ah no, I can’t even boil water, sad but very true.) The goal is to post an entry everyday no matter how short.
I will record my thoughts, feelings, experiences, tribulations and successes throughout the year in hopes of proving to myself (as well as those around me) I can commit to something and finish it. And who knows, maybe I will discover a little bit of the person I am.
