1: It Begins

Now, I'm aware that I missed BEDA (Blog Every Day in April, for all y'all who don't know), but I'd like to do a modified version of that. What to call it? BEDIM? Blog Every Day in May? Hmm, I suppose.

Either way, I'm going to write a blog post every day this month! For two purposes: the first, to keep a log of my wonderful life for the world to read (for me to look back at's more likely). And, secondly, to teach me a bit of discipline. I'm having a hard time keeping promises to myself lately. It's discouraging, so I've decided to make a promise to my blog readers! I do solemnly swear to publish one post a day for the entire month of May, regardless of plans and unexpected adventures.

The topic for today, my dear readers, is my goals. I know if written about these before, but I've developed more and gotten rid of others, so this is an updated list. Plus, these will have plans of action. :) Always good in my book. By the way, these are on no particular order.

1) Learn to speak French fluently. I'm not sure if I've said this on this blog, but I study French at school. I've always loved the language and, learning about the culture, it definitely seems like I could live there someday. People have told me that taking Spanish would actually be useful, but I say it depends. It depends on your job, where you live, and where you plan to live or travel. I took the language that I thought I'd enjoy the most.

2) Learn to speak Polish fluently. I've only recently taken to loving this language. It absolutely entrances me how it sounds completely different than it looks. I love how it sounds, too, of course.

3) Travel. Just, in general. To different countries, states, even cities. I just want to see the world from different points if view. It amazes me constantly and I always think that, at this very moment, billions of people are in different places doing completely different things than I am. Europe is an especially incredible place to me. I have this notion in my head that Europe is the United States done right. They don't have this crazy trillions-of-dollars debt or an absurd obesity rate or sky-high stress levels. Europe equals simplicity in my mind and I love it. This also contributes to my desire to learn Polish, French, and any other language that I can.

4) Be content. This is something I'm working for every day, if that makes sense. I know it sounds contradictory, but I'm working on being happy exactly where I am in life.

5) Dance. This may sound a little silly, but it's something I really want to do. I want to be able to move freely and not look like a seahorse on an acid trip. Okay, I don't actually look like that, but it sounded funny in my head. :) Dancing is really captivating to me. I'm not talking about this grinding and juking nonsense. Choreographed dancing, like broadway and ballet. Ballet is incredible and beautiful and lovely and captivating and I'd love to learn how to do it. Broadway dancing and singing is just beautiful to me. I don't know. I like weird things. O.o

6) Find my passion. I'm working hard to discover this now. I'm trying new things, revisiting old activities, and keeping my mind open so I can see what I truly like to do. I don't want to be stuck in a 9 to 5 job for 30 years that I hate. That's not going to happen to me. I want to love waking up in the morning and doing what I love every day. It's quite the journey.

That's all I can think of right now, except for the obvious, like graduating from college and having a family and such.

I realize this was a long post, but thanks for reading this far. :)

Peace, love, and simplicity.
