January 1

Starting this as a way to keep myself accountable for journaling and moving forward each day. I can promise cheesy and sappy messaging, and bad attempts at jokes.

If you want to follow along, feel free to subscribe. Hopefully it will be at least entertaining.

So let’s give some background.

Professionally: Before I landed myself at (insert large company here), I was hustling, I was trying to get noticed, to get a side hustle, to sell a blog, to flip a domain – I mean, I was desperate for income. Then I got a comfy job and a cushy salary and that just kinda killed my edge. I just lost the drive.

Hobbies: See above for how baller I used to. I tried to sling face scrubs, lip balms, natural deodorants, travel blogs, business blogs, personal blogs, tried flipping websites, dude, like, anything. And then since moving to the West Coast….uh, not too much going on here. Tried playing piano tonight for the first time in 2 months (after an 11 year hiatus) for 10 minutes. Tried a meme instagram. Tried a travel one. Tried Tik Toks. Said I want to read more, dance more, learn languages. I want to work on it and “enrich” “my” “life” but I also want to be famous or something so I don’t know if hobbies will get me there. Just trying to be transparent.

Health: Used to be chubs. Then started working out. Started running a lot more. Casually can run a 10K before work, so besides needing to tighten up nutrition, this part is going okayish.

School: Joined an online grad program. It’s okay. I’m tired.

Friends: Gotta prioritize these people more.

Love: 2019 I ended a 3 year relationship. I’ve since had a sad string of me having crushes which in ends me either getting bored 3 dates in, or in a less than ideal situation with someone I actually am crushing on a wee bit.

It’s not feeling real “on track” or “super exciting” or “inspiring” and it’s making me feel like I need to figure this stuff out.

So, join the journey and all that. As far as the dumb blog name? I don’t know. Try coming up with a good name when you’re trying to also not lose momentum to write this.

Closing out day 1 of the decade.

Go to bed, kids.
