Getting Lost in the Right Direction

Okay, first blog post. Pressure's on. I want to keep this brief and yet I have so much to say I don't know where to begin. Let me just give you the gist of my situation. I graduated college in December with a degree in psychology and a focus in neurology and now I’m working at a bakery boxing cookies and slicing rye breads. Quite a fulfilling career path I must say. 

As the title of this blog suggests, I’m twenty-three years old and I’m aimless. Some might say I'm lost. But one thing I'm not is hopeless. It's true that from day to day I use up every ounce of strength I have just trying to stay sane. By the end I feel like that’s about all I’ve done… I’ve managed to stay sane. Way to go, Bryn.

But I can do a lot more than that I swear! I can do so many things and I’m finally going to share it all. Starting today I’m going to ignore the voice in my head that says, “No one will care about what you have to say. What makes you think that people will be interested in what you’re doing?” Maybe the voice is right. But maybe it’s not. I’ve realized that the most important thing about living is to be able to look back and say, “I went for it.”

So I am starting this blog as a challenge to myself. Every single day I am going to push myself out of hiding and into the world of "Look what I can do!" 

My problem is not that I have no direction in life. It’s that I have too many directions to go in, and I’m scared that if I choose one it’ll be the wrong one. But it’s better to make the wrong choice than no choices at all. So here goes. Look forward to seeing posts about… well… anything! 

I promise it can’t be more depressing than sitting through a half hour Youtube video about which drugstore lipsticks to buy made by some idiot with an expensive camera and too much time on her hands…
What? Don’t act like you’ve never done it.

Words of wisdom for the day: 

"If you don't want to be criticized, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."
