Take the Ride

After spending the last three months physically writing my thoughts on and off in a book, I've decided that keeping this blog is really the only way I can get things done when it comes to writing.

S'been a long year. I remember writing of the anxiety of turning 24 when I'm now just about two months shy of my 25th birthday. This time, however, I welcome the aging and am thrilled at what I have learned and can learn from it.

Here's a few examples:

- Erika will no longer be able to wrap her cold, slimy talons around my heart again. I'll have to leave the memories, insecurities and the theft and ultimate destruction of my umbrella in the distant past.
- The "Wakefield" style of living is no good. If I have a problem, I should speak up and try to work it out instead of plotting to fake my own death when something goes wrong.
- Turn up the charm and have some fun.
