Newness

I have been guilty of being self-conscious of the stretch marks on the backs of my thighs since I noticed them popping up in high school.  I always hear of ways to get rid of stretch marks- special creams and other DIY remedies. But, maybe instead of getting rid of them we should learn to celebrate them!

I created this blog because as 2014 came to a close- and inner reflection ran amok through the inner sanctum of those around me- I had a realization. As a full-time student, I focus more on school than my broader life interests. It has gotten to the point where I don't know what to say when people ask me what I like to do in my free time.  Once the panic of this realization subsided, I remembered a couple very important interests I possess: music, art, good food, the outdoors, and learning new things. The third opened up a world of possibilities for newfound joy.  Learning new things gives me an overwhelming sense of adventure and accomplishment (not to mention a spike of creative energy). I realized I have stopped really learning new things when all my time is spent either working on assignments, or worrying about having to start them.  This blog is my solemn vow to myself to start broadening my horizons again.  Instead of worrying about  school, I will start doing assignments when they need to be done so the rest of my time can be spent enriching my life with new things.  As a perpetual child of the universe, I plan to use the rest of my life to explore the unknown [to me]. It might end up opening up some proverbial doors I didn't know existed.  If you seek a diverse selection of music, food, and new hobbies and crafts, you're in the right place. Come one, come all to my grand experiment.  Lifelong beginners are welcome here.
