Blogging. I never thought in a million years that I would start a blog. Writing to me is something I struggle with and therefore have still not gone back to school for my MBA due to my lackluster writing skills. But last week something clicked...I guess I will start from the beginning.
Since moving out to the desert (i.e. Arizona) about a year ago I have tried everything in my will power to keep my friends and family in the loop on my life. I've had an extremely hard past year, probably the hardest year of my life to date, so they of course, as friends and family would be, are extremely concerned about me and ultimately just want me to move back. Back to Colorado to be with them and poof! My life will be better again. But I moved here to ultimately just figure things out. I needed to realize what life is like without the crutch of family and friends. You know I have moved back to my mom's house 6 times since the first time I moved out when I was 18. I think that pretty much says it all. Anyway, I can go on and on about my past before moving to Arizona, but ultimately I just needed something different. I needed to grow up. So why not Scottsdale, Arizona right?
A year has passed since that huge life altering decision was made and I've come to the realization that as much as I love calling my friends and family back home a lot of those phone calls are me venting about my life out here. Most of that has to do with how hard is has been since living here...and don't get me wrong, as much as I think they should be there for me through all this...the good and the bad...I'm sure it hurts them to hear me hurt so much. One thing they don't know is I do have a lot of fun adventures out here as well. I've met some amazing people along the way including my boyfriend Amir. We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary next weekend!!! So now I've came to the conclusion, after having a not so hot conversation with my best friend Nicole, that I needed to show them the good about my new found Arizona life. At that point I still didn't know how I was going to do that.
I got this amazing job in Tempe, AZ at a company called FetchBack. The people that work there are totally amazing and I see myself starting to build some totally amazing friendships. Melanie is one of them. Two days after deciding that I needed to change my conversations around to a more positive and happy me with my friends and family back home, Melanie was showing me her blog. I thought, you do what? A blog?! But wait...aren't those just for informational purposes, and reasons for businesses to market themselves? And ultimately, I knew and have known what a blog is, but never thought in a million years that blogging could me my ultimate savior to exposing the happy times of my life to my loved ones. Not only that...the more I write the better I will get, right? So does that scream an MBA in my future?!?!
And so the journey begins...
