Why? Wot?

So I decided to create this blog to lay down the multiple thoughts that run through my head. Maybe I'm being a little narcissistic and self-serving, maybe a bit self-congratulating...or maybe I'm just trying to organize my brain patterns onto a virtual screen. Whatever. It'll be nice to look upon this blog and see who I was and what I went through.

I guess, then, another motive for this is looking at the "process" of living, growing up. During this gap year I want to change and grow and a person, to learn about both the world and myself (maybe those are reciprocal events?), so I want to chronicle these steps. I want to look back, Harry Potter Style, at the person I was, like a time travel mirror. I want to see if I can change from a person who simply thinks about life to someone who lives it and is changed by it. I feel stagnant right now, with only my thoughts affecting me. I want to change, in whatever way. Let's see how that goes.
