about me

So while I was sitting down at my computer one night scrolling through the internet I saw something that really made me think.. What make a blogger a GOOD blogger? Of course there has to be the passion and the drive to want to write and rewrite and edit. But what makes a blogger unique? I am just a high school girl sitting in front of her computer at 7:30pm on a Tuesday night thinking about how much blogging could really change my life. I've struggled with depression and anxiety the past six months and while talking to my doctor one day she talked about writing down your feelings. So then I got the brilliant idea, why not just post it online too? I've thought long and hard about a single question throughout my life that every child is asked a million times. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I live in the midwest of the United States in a town of less than 200 people. We are so small that we aren't even considered a town but a "village" and our school is consolidated with three other small towns. My Class of 2017 has 22 kids in it. Talk about small. For the longest time I've had to hide my wanderlust hoping that everyone in my community doesn't find out because everyone around here just wants to graduation, go to college, come back to this town, get married, have kids and live here the rest of their lives. The thought of that suffocates me. I need to get out and get away and explore different lifestyles and know what it is like to live in a city of over a million people. My dream is to go to the University of Chicago (about four hours from home) and study business in college. I would love to have a job like this where I can sit down at my computer and write away about anything I want to, but we all know that you can't just sit around all day. I seek adventures. I seek visiting other countries and falling in love with cities and food around the world. Nothing scares me more than staying in my little town the rest of my life. This world inspires me so much and knowing that I only have a certain amount of days on it makes me want to visit every single country out there. My surroundings right now are having cows and horses in my backyard, the nearest house to mine is half a mile away, and the nearest shopping center an hour away. I crave a totally different lifestyle. I'm not saying that I hate my lifestyle here but I just crave a change for a while. I hope that after reading a post or two on my blog people can realize that you don't need to please others to be happy, make yourself happy first, and come away with a few ways to make your life easier.I will always try to keep my "currently loving" sidebar updated so you can get new suggestions for things you may love too.
