Confession: My 2016 resolution is to start a blog.
Silly, right? Maybe even (dare I say) basic? Typical? Completely “mainstream”? Perhaps it’s all of those things…but to be real? I don’t care. New Years is about a clean slate, right? It’s about looking back at the peaks and valleys of the year before and pressing on into a new, fresh calendar. So this is my clean slate.
I’ve debated starting a blog most of my post-high school career. I’m not sure why. I’ve never even been sure what exactly I would blog about. Would my topics be educational? Would they take my readers on my life’s journey with me? Personal? Thematic? None of those seemed right…
So here we are. I’m twenty-one years old and finally starting a blog. My topics of choice? I’m still not sure. JK, cause like I said, here we are… I’ll be blogging confessions about real life. Just me being real. Being real about life, love, and the ups and downs of being a twenty-something.
Sound a little too much like a 90’s sitcom wanna be? Probably. Any cheesiness is totally unintentional. Promise. I’ve probably spent one too many late nights binging “Friends”. But I mean, who hasn’t found themselves in the middle of the night unable to turn off Netflix because Ross and Rachel just can’t seem to GET IT TOGETHER. Even though we all know (spoiler alert) how their happily ever after ends.
Coming off that bunny trail…here you go. I can’t promise any sage advice, deep wisdom, or even that I’ll have small bits of life figured out for you to glean from. But I can promise you this: real, raw honesty. Maybe you’ll learn from my mistakes, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll just be able to laugh with me about how rough life can be sometimes. Whatever the case may be, I hope that more than anything it’s a place for people to witness God’s grace and faithfulness in my life and begin to recognize it in their own life.
Here’s to 2016 being a year of trying new things, grace and lots of LOLs.
