"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." - Chinese Proverb

So, this is it.

I've been following countless blogs for probably 5 years and have never once opened one of my own.
The reasoning behind this?

I wish I had an explanation. It may be fear. It may be insecurity. It may even be the feeling of insignificance when it comes to my words over another's. But, having those words in front of me on this screen is reason enough to validate my need for an outlet.

I have always strived to keep those around me comfortable, and often that results in a negative effect on me- on my body. I have been feeling under-the-weather for half a year now and I have decided that I need to take action against this.
I cannot give up.

For me to just sit by and let my body be thrown about the tumultuous waves that life brings is an insult to those who are really suffering. So, with a new year comes a new outlook. A new way of living. And, I'm hoping that having this out in the open will help hold me accountable for the path my life is taking.

On a lighter note, as a way to really start to enjoy my life...

... I had a s'more for breakfast!
