Today means new beginnings for a lot of people.

It's Easter. Come on people, you should know by now how I feel about Holidays. So let's move on.
In one week, I will be moving into my new apartment. I'm getting rather scared as well as excited about the whole thing. I want to make a list of things that I can do, slash I hope to do while I'm down here this summer. I'm going to do it on here. I want to first say though, a interesting comment I heard the other day. We can all have times where we say something like "I can't wait to get out of this town" or "I need to get out of this place, there's nothing to do!" If you have bad memories in a place, then I might be able to understand why you would say the first comment. I would encourage you to stay and fight those things that make it difficult, but I can't say that's always easy. I mean, look at me. I came down to Florida, so you could say I ran away in a sense. Secondly, if you feel like there's nothing to do, it's probably not the place, it's probably you. Get excited, get motivated, and find new things to do. If you just want something to do, then go do something! Think of new things you'd like to try, and go try them. It's not always easy, and it does take motivation. I can't tell you how to find motivation, but I hope you do.

I decided for the first 30 days I'm down here, I'm going to try to focus on myself. Not so much reaching out to others, but just myself. I haven't reached out to others a lot since I've been down here in Jan, but I don't know really who I feel like I am without being that person. So I'm going to try to learn more about what else makes me who I am, besides reaching out.

My list of things to do for the next 30 days (starting May 1st):
Run 50 miles
Do 2,000 push-ups
Practice guitar, learn 3 songs (will pick songs soon)
Create a book of truths (more on this later)
Go out to eat alone... twice
Go explore a new town/city
Try to cook 5 meals I've never made before
Limit Alcohol spending to $50


This is a start. I will come back and edit more later.

Hope today is good to you.
