Inaugural Post (Day 1)

Today is the first day of the rest of my life...LOL Welcome to my personal journey of self discovery and growth. This blog is dedicated to me. What makes me tick, how I think, feel, and what I can do to make myself better one day at a time.
So let's see...I guess I will give you all the 5 W's
Who: Arica G.
What: A daily blog about my day with a photo to match my mood
Where: Everywhere I am
When: Everyday for 365 days
Why: I want do something that will stretch me as a person and help prepare me for my transition out of my 20's and in to the realities of true adulthood that my 30's will bring.
I plan to be fairly transparent in my writings as an attempt to be honest with my life just in case someone reading is going through the same thing. I can’t be helpful if I am not honest. I recognize that the things i go through are not unique or the worst ever, but maybe my solutions are something someone going through a similar situation has not thought of yet.  This is so like me…still trying to help others while I am suppose to be doing this to solely help me. *shrugs* OH WELL! lol
So It begins. My first picture and analysis of the day I have had, what I liked or did not like and what I will do to make tomorrow better.
---------------------------------------------------------

If a picture is worth a thousand words then this blog thing should be easy. What can I say about how I feel at the end of this day. I am tired, excited, nervous, and feeling a bit alone. Today wasn’t a bad day. It was probably a very typical day. I was up at the usual time, work at the usual time, and home at the usual time. I am struggling with a couple personal issue. you know,those matters of the heart. School and a love life. Both feel a bit overwhelming at this time. School though, is probably the easier of the two. Someone wanting to be your friend should be a good thing right? I mean friends tend to stick with me longer than any romantic partner that I have had so this is positive. Then why am I so sad about it when I am honest about my feelings?
So one thing I didn’t like about my day was that too much of my mental time was spent thinking about things that I have no control over. So tomorrow I will work on letting go of those life situations that I am not in control of.  I will use the time that I free up to study. The effort that I put into my classes is something that I CAN control so I will focus on that!
Day 1 down, 364 more to go!
