we all arrive...

I wanted to start this blog as a way of grounding my life. of giving weight and thought to my dreams, my hopes, my work. I process things best out loud. I'm "in transition" as my mother puts it. I've recently graduated college with a semi-useful (in the immediate economic sense) degree in a faltering economy. I am facing grad school, which both scares and excites me. I am planning to marry my partner of nearly 4 years now in the sort of near future. I yearn for financial independence and for meaningful professional work. I feel and think more things, more deeply than I thought I would at this stage in my life. I don't feel carefree and on top of the world. I feel rushed and bruised under the weight of it. But, right now, I think that's a good thing.

I want so much for my life. I want to do and be things that feel improbable to me now, but I don't want to quit before I've even started. I hope this blog, in some small way, will help me identify and overcome any self-inflicted impediments. I don't need to accomplish anything in one fell swoop. Some goals are bigger than others, some will require repetition and sustenance, but I hope to keep reminding myself...little by little. we will arrive.
