Hello everyone out there-whether that be one of my too many [700+] Facebook friends that occasionally creeps on my life, to a random individual who stumbled upon this page. I have so care[fully]lessly created this blog to "be a better being". As cliche as it may sound, I need to get my life together plain + simple.
I just want to be happy. A blog seemed like the perfect idea to spend some time self-reflecting, writing, + getting to know the old me deep down that I so dearly miss. As crazy as it may seem, I LOVE being a student + being in school. My time management, health, morals, relationships, and just about everything else under the sun excel while I'm in school. I like to believe I'm a hardworking, driven individual who will do whatever it takes to get an "A" [not A-] in every class. As a matter of fact, I have received only 4 A-'s in my entire life. A perfectionist, that's what you can call me. Behind my report card of straight A's and cookie-cutter resume including just about every single club at my high school, the Jo I love and miss gets lost at times of silence in my life. We have full control of what we prioritize in our lives. For me, school is obviously important and it is unable to escape my [abnormally small] head. I wish I could go into my head and say, "Brain, prioritize God, then family, then friends, and finally everything else, including school". I get wrapped up in what my teachers will think of me if I get a B, or what my friends will think of me if I wear this. Why does life have to be so complicated?
This summer has been the most exhilarating, adventurous summer thus far, yet I feel lost at sea...like part of me was left with my final paper report card that demonstrated responsibility + hard work. I am ready to get my life back on track: body, mind, + soul. Obviously, this blog was created to 1. allow me to remember my love for literature + writing 2. get my mind on the right track-reflecting on quotes+songs+literature to ignite a fire in my life 3. find myself. Enjoy my complicated+crazy+chaotic life journey to a better being.
