About Me

Hello, Blogosphere!

I decided to get started early with my New Year's resolutions and start a personal blog. That's just really one of my personal resolutions, but it's an important one. Over the years I have started mini niche personal sites-ranging from a walking site to a site about possibly getting pregnant. I've always felt frustrated that I couldn't talk about whatever I wanted to talk about on each of the sites because they were too narrow in focus. So I finally decided to just start a general blog where I can talk about whatever it is that I feel like talking about.

I'm at a point in my life where I have busted my butt working on my career all throughout my twenties and early thirties, and now I just want to slow down and start to rediscover myself and what makes me tick. I'm sort of in a position where I don't really feel like I belong anymore in many communities and I want to cultivate a new space where I can be myself again. I am myself around a very small group of people and I want to find other like minds out there in the world.

I've always thought differently and had different interests than many of my family members. It's frustrating to me that I can't share with them who I am because they are a bunch of assholes. I don't show who I really am to many people in my work life either because I am either too progressive or have different interests. For years I allowed myself to be bullied and made into an outcast at work. Now I have a really bad itch to connect with people who "get me". I think I'm at the point in my life where I have to take my quest to the internet now.

Don't get too comfortable here because soon I will be changing things up a bit. I plan on blogging on feminism, politics, books, current events, health/fitness, and any other topic that really comes to my mind this year as I learn how to life my life to its fullest. Enough already with being a workaholic--2012 will be the year of reconnecting with ME!
