No More Excuses!

I bought this website hosting, the rights to this website and the security needed for it over a year ago. I bought it from my hotel room in China the night I booked my flight to Adelaide Australia. I remember buying it for 2 reasons. The first, I thought it would be an easy way for my friends and family to keep up on my whereabouts so I wouldn’t have to individually inform everyone what I was up to. And two, i thought I’d like to be able to look back on it in the future. To remember an exciting time in my life when I said fuck it, and jumped ship to the other side of the world. To be able to read about the hopefully exciting things I got up to, and perhaps the trouble I put myself in, just to see if I could land on my feet. I purchased it for me. Just like I left America, FOR ME!

The last year came and went though like the speed of light. And 300 dollars later, I never opened this website again. A complete waste of money. Money I didn’t have to waste and yet I kept making excuses to myself for not starting it up. “I can’t start it without a logo” or “I don’t have enough time” or my personal favorite, “I’m just living a normal life and there is nothing exciting to write about”. All of them were lies. The truth is, writing has always been a thing I kept to myself. A thing I relied on when I felt I couldn’t rely on anyone else or when I didn’t want to. My writings were a place I could be vulnerable without losing my outward appearance of being strong and the thought of sharing even a piece of that with the world or anyone for that matter scares the absolute crap out of me. Scares me more than leaving my friends, my family, my apartment and my job for the unknown in Australia. But how can I truly find myself without letting the world find me? So here I am in the flesh(or as close as I can be via writing on the internet). No more excuses. I’m letting you in to my world and adventures. Hold on to your hats, it’s going to be a crazy ride.

Catch me if you can…
