We grow up in a world where we have little say, we are, for the most part, completely shaped and molded by our surroundings. Often we hold the same views as our parents, we like the same things are friends do, we are taught how to act and what to want, and what life is all about. Then we are thrown out on our own. Suddenly everything is up to us, for the first time we have total control over where we go, what we do, and ultimately our beliefs and worldviews begin to shift. Our twenties are the time when our brain is still adapting, creating pathways and changing...but for the first time we have total control. Which, I have come to realize, means that these years, our twenties, are utter chaos.
Ask me what I want today and you will get a different answer than you would've last week, and whatever I tell you is certain to be something different from what you would hear if you were to ask tomorrow. One day I'm terribly lonely, the next I just need space. One day I think I can't stand to be in this place anymore, the next I'm afraid to leave.
I love to prepare and eat healthy whole foods, I practice yoga every day, I love to dance, I want to be an environmental engineer and change the world. I don't know what I believe, or where I will be in six months, but there is something terribly beautiful and exciting about that.
I've always found writing to be soothing and a wonderful sounding board for my experiences and emotions. I hope this blog will be a beneficial platform for me to chronicle my experiences: culinary, yogic, and just plain life. If you stop by to read, bear with me :)
