Hello there, blogland.
I'm nursing a broken heart (again) and trying to distract myself from said broken heart (again), and I figured the best way to do that is to semi-anonymously spill my guts on the internet. Right? Right.
The backstory of the broken heart I'll get to in a later post. Let's first talk about the premise of the new blog. I have bad habit of putting things in my life on hold because I want to do them in a certain way or with a certain person. Case in point: I didn't go hiking OR camping, two of my favorite summer activities, at all last year, because I wanted to go with a guy, a very specific, very bad for me guy. And our schedules never worked out, which in retrospect is not surprising at all. But because I kept holding out hope until the last minute every weekend, I also didn't make plans with friends. Boo, and an entire summer wasted.
Now it's another year, another summer, and I'm trying to distract myself. I want new shiny new things, bright new experiences, happy memories. There are mountains to climb, campsites to explore, a plethora of available, local-ish men on Match and OKCupid to exchange flirty emails and grab a drink with. I want to push myself out of my comfort zone and maybe meet some cool new people along the way.
Bring on the New!
