If I didn’t recently find blogging, Wag!, and OnlineBookClub, I wouldn’t agree with this affirmation. Before my newfound hobbies, my life was dull, doing the same thing every single day. I guess recently graduating frees up a lot of my time though.

Blogging has opened up a lot of new paths for me, in opportunities and within myself. Blogging has helped me connect my mind with my body and soul. It has become a lot easier to articulate how I feel and also to control any concerning thoughts. I am doing better at not making assumptions and asking plenty of questions instead; however, I’m not sure if that’s because of my new hobbies and being more at peace or if it’s solely due to my anxiety medication. It has been about 4 months since I’ve been on Zoloft and I’ve been told that it takes at least 6 months to feel a real difference. I’m not sure if it’s all placebo or if it’s actually working, but whatever it is, I’m happy. My mental stability is allowing me to feel more free and be more interested in new things. I’m slowly finding more joy in activities rather than dreading them or poking holes in the fun.

I’m grateful that each day, I can pick and choose any of my hobbies to pursue and still find it interesting and exciting. Although the things I’m pursuing currently aren’t something new each day, I’m still discovering what makes me happy and what I’m enjoying. It’s kind of weird because after 25 years, you would think you have your life together, but it’s hardly just the beginning. I’m no longer worried about whether I’m where I should be in my life because I’ve learned now that your life doesn’t really begin until much later. For some people, their life doesn’t really begin until after 25, others 30, or even 40. I’m no longer worried about where I’m “supposed” to be. I’m finally just able to enjoy my life as it is currently. And I think that’s something new and exciting each day.
