A New Beginning

Tour d'Eiffel à nuit (Eiffel Tower at night)

For the past two weeks, I've had a lot of time to think. I just returned from a busy life in Paris, taking classes, speaking French, and going out almost every night with friends; and I've come back to a pretty monotonous setting. Instead of rushing about every day, worrying about getting places on time and looking fashionable in the metro, I spend my days lazing around my parents' house (can't move into my apartment until mid-August), working no more than 15 hours a week and occasionally going to the gym.

All of the thinking that I've done has made me realize that I have let my priorities go astray the past few years, whether it was because of intense schoolwork (hello, freshman year of college), or because I felt that socializing was more important than staying true to my interests. I would like to change that, and I'm starting this blog to hold myself accountable for the changes I want to implement on my life. I want to create more often, do yoga and exercise frequently, cook delicious meals, read as fast as I used to when I was in middle school, keep myself organized, and most of all, I want to be kind to others - I've seen that in my daily life, I am very sarcastic, and oftentimes rude to others unintentionally.

I will use this blog to document my journey towards accomplishing these goals, and hopefully to inspire others to do the same.
