Start a Blog (That Doesn't Belong to Xanga): The First Drop in My Bucket

Alright, so here I am. I'm taking on a task I've been avoiding, but a task worth doing. I've started a blog.

Of course, you knew this already because you're reading this. Obviously, nothing groundbreaking to you. However, it's a different matter for me...


First of all, the concept of a blog is not something I am a fan of. I love reading others' blogs. However, the idea of creating a website all about my life is not something I'm a fan of. In addition, I've always worried about starting a blog, mostly out of insecurity: the thought of people judging me, or the thought of no one caring and me wasting my time.  After a lot of thinking, though, I decided to give in, because I think something greater can be accomplished from this.

So here I am, and here's my blog. I've started this blog as a chronicle of something I started a few nights ago: my bucket list. If you don't know what that is, you can check out this link:

What is a Bucket List?

Or you can just keep reading. Here, I want to write about different goals on my bucket list as I accomplish them. Sometimes what I write about will be big (like getting my first full-time job) and sometimes it'll seem pointless (like solving a Rubik's Cube). Sometimes, it'll even be monumental (like having a child - and no, it's not happening anytime soon). No matter what, though, it will be real. I hope that through that realness, you will aspire to live a full life and really be alive before you kick the bucket.

So here I am, with the first drop in my bucket, living before my chance at life is up. I've accomplished my first goal: start a blog that doesn't belong to Xanga - because, well, let's be honest, I'm not 13 anymore. :-)
