Liiiifeee

So here I am, at a point in my life, where everything is the same yet change is imminent. What the change is, I do not know quite yet. I am, however, trying to figure out my life, who I am, what career I want, and gather the courage to do all of the above while trying to defeat that little troll called Fear and Doubt.

Yesterday I rearranged my room. Why is this so significant? Well, I am hoping the rearrangement will mirror the change in my brain and in my life. I am trying to affect a mental revolution. I have been taking tennis and piano lessons, exercising, dating, cooking, reading, become more social; this whole idea of doing shit is a mirror image, an opposite, of the months leading up to my India trip in which I had been sitting around playing games and reading Ohnotheydidnt! online (which I have also stopped, I can't quite believe it). I am itching to change, to become more me because I know I am only half-me. I have a potential I am not fulfilling because I feel too safe and secure, too lazy, to scared of failing to even try. And isn't the something that plagues all of humanity? I don't want to regret, I don't want to betray myself by not taking advantage of what the universe has given me.

So here are my goals for this year:

-Read more
-Learn more
-Get a job
-Get a journalism internship
-Date more
-Make new friends
-Fear less
-Understand more
-Answer that creative itch
-Write more
-Take the GRE
-Travel
-Discover the links that bond humanity together (way too conceptual, I know, but whateva)

My muses will be the wise owl, the goddess Sarasvati, and Sarika, who always works hard.
