Questions

Hey all,

So I have never been the type of person to write in a journal. I never felt I could make that commitment every night to write down the thoughts, questions, ideas I had during the day. Maybe this will be a better way for me to express some of those things without feeling the constraints of time or day.

A little about myself. I am a quarter of a century old and really starting to feel like it! I remember when I thought that was so old! But time caught up with me and is trying to ruin my life! I just graduated from Oregon State University with a degree I love and am so passionate about. I am truly a nerd. My degree is in exercise science and I couldn't love it anymore than I already do (unless I could actually find a job doing it!!!) I just got a job after searching in this "lovely" economy for the past eight months. It's not a great job but it has perks. I feel like betrayed because I put in so much hard work and dedication into my schooling and got a job making $8.75/hr doing something a trained monkey could do. But I am trying to make the best of it that I can and be grateful despite my negative feelings. I have been in a relationship with a guy for the past two years and some days I think he is wonderful and heaven sent and others I'm not so sure. My family is crazy. Both my mom's and my dad's but I think I've become a great person either in spite or because of them. I still haven't decided.

Anyways, enough about myself. I wanted to get into more of the real reason I started this blog. I wanted a release. I don't care if anyone even reads this or cares but I needed some place to vent, put my questions out, and ponder the many things running through my mind from family issues all the way to exercise issues. I like being able to constructively work through these things. Granted I know that one day I write something and think I'm an absolute genius or that it was really how I felt and then I'll dwell and think about it. After rereading what I wrote I realize I can be a complete bonehead and the desired result is completely different than intended. I'm hoping that this is a better way to sort through all of that and really make my thoughts come together.

I hope that the things I write in this blog either help or make someone think about something or maybe from a different perspective. But more than anything I hope to make personal gains in my thoughts, feelings and questions.

Thanks for the read,

Lindsey
