Life can become mundane so quickly. You go to school, you go to work and do variations of the same things everyday.

I remember throughout high school, I thought about graduating all the time. I suspected that once I left high school, life would become more exciting, I’d meet new people, go on “adventures” and truly feel alive. I always thought that staying stuck in a school all day was the reason that I felt so stuck and bored. It didn’t allow any real movement and freedom.

I’d constantly make remarks like “when I get out of highschool I will.. when I go to college I will.. I can’t wait to make new friends so I can..” But one thing that was hard for me to accept, was the fact that I couldn’t depend on a time, a place or, people, to get do the things I truly wanted to do.

It’s so easy to push things (whatever they may be) to a later time in life. When you’re scared, when you don’t feel like you’re good enough, it’s easy to say that there’ll be a better time to do the things you feel like you should be doing.

But, what’s the point of wasting any time being miserable? Why decide to just go through the motions of life without doing the things you feel will add value to your life? You’re honestly never too young or old. This may sound like a corny inspirational message, but it really holds true in life.

During high school I didn’t do anything I loved because I felt like I was too young and inadequate. Or I always had a another “good excuse” as to why I shouldn’t. In actuality all I was doing was making myself more miserable by going through the motions. The longer you push things you want to do off, the more you’ll stay in unsatisfying situations and continue to get into new unsatisfying ones.

Graduating high school won’t take you to the place you want to be, you have to be the person who decides to do something different with your life. When I graduated high school I ended up going to college just because I didn’t know what else to do. I had gone through some hardships during my last years of school that really got me off track so I felt lost.

It was easy in the beginning to just mope my way through college, but deep down I craved more. And after awhile I got tired of settling, which is why I started this blog. I felt this was the best way for me to be able to reach people. It’s important for me to be able to teach people the things I learned and inspire them to live out their purpose while living out my own.
