It’s Happy Birthday to me! I’m officially in my late-twenties….

27 was a learning year for me. A lot happened this past year – good, bad, and stuff I’m still trying to define. I’m in a different place in my life right now than I thought I would be had you asked me say 5 years ago.

I’ve done a lot of redefining, challenging my thinking/priorities, and to be honest I’m not necessarily getting any closer to knowing what I want then I was before…but I do think I have a better idea of what I don’t want.

I don’t want to:
apologize for being me
feel not good enough
feel like I’m not worth it
be second
be all work and no play
stay in so much
cry as often
care what others think
have friends who are toxic

750 words is roughly three pages (supposedly of writing) and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I need to get back into the happen of just writing for me and not for someone else. Sure I have this blog where I publicly display my thoughts but I know this is public and as I’ve written in some of my previous posts there is a certain amount of censorship that happens in public writing.

So am I stopping this blog? Nope.

I just signed up for 750words.com – it’s a blogging site, it’s a writing site. It’s a totally private site where you are encouraged to write 750 words a day…and as the site says “You can’t just fart out 3 pages without running into your subconscious a little bit… 750 words takes a bit of effort, and it never fails to get me typing things that I have wanted to articulate without realizing it. And that’s the point.” According to the website creator, this exercise is suppose to clear your mind and help motivate your creativity. So I’ve decided to take on a personal challenge, try to write 750 words a day for an entire year. I’m hoping this exercise in writing will help me have a more interesting, well-round blog.

DAY 1 of the 750 words challenge as completed prior to writing this post! whoohoo!

One of the fun features about this writing site is it “analyzes” your words and tells you what your words are saying about you and your writing at the moment.  Here is the snap shot of today:
