We are a little early for New Year's Resolutions, but maybe I'm just a little late on the Chinese new year. Regardless, as I was dancing in the middle of my home with wine in hand and music playing from a prior playlist as I determine the next direction of the next one, I came to a pivot point in my direction that I wanted to share.
Recently, I have been enjoying my single life as a single person. I get up and go about my life in a way that I want to do and enjoying things on my own that I go to... not to meet someone, because honestly I am not even looking at this point. Someday. But, for now, I am just enjoying being me and being in the world and having fun and discovering more and more about what I want for my life now and in the future. It doesn't mean that I won't be social or make connections. I already am and will continue to do so. But... and this is the rest of this blog...
I deserve to carve out a life that I enjoy, doing whatever and wherever I want to do those things. I want to be able to stand on a beach one day, listen to music another day, get drinks another day, enjoy Christmas at Busch Gardens another day, and possibly run the Santa speedo run, nearby... ha... honestly considering it. I want to live a life that would be embarrassing, if I was holding myself back for that. I want to cook and run and bet and write and dance... just because I want to do so.
And so.... here is my personal pledge. For the next year, I am giving myself permission to do that. I am going to live my life without checking with others and without caring who might not like it. It will include aspects of my interest in religion, art, drinking, sports, music, and every other thing that happens to strike my fancy. Why? Because, it's my life, and it is about time that I remember that and act like it.
I could write more, but I don't want to. I want to get back to dancing. Have a good week.
