Beginnings=Messy



Alright, let's just dive in.

The point of beginning this is for myself. For me to stop swimming in the shallow end and make it to the big kids side of the pool.

I've begun this because I turn 21 in less than a month and somehow I feel as though I'm a two year-old living in a 40something body. I have ample motivation but no follow-through.
Beauty fascinates me, and I can create it with every kind of material except for my own self.

I've begun this because my fingertips are touching the world, and somehow I'm not reaching hard enough.

Here's the plan:
Every day I will nourish my mind with quotes, images, statistics, history, poetry, classics, culture.
Every day I will nourish my body with good food and exercise.
I will breathe through this. Bear up, brave heart.
