My name is Alicia. I am 25, single, offspring-less, living alone with my dog, Sterling, and my 2 goldfish, Punkin and Patch. Everyday I wonder how the hell I ended up here. All of the things listed were not what I had planned for myself at 25, but here I am. Surprisingly more content with my life than I had ever expected. Let me explain.
Anyone that knows me knows how much I love being around people. Everyone knows that I do not sit still for very long and have to be busy doing SOMETHING at all times. Preferably not at home. Not anymore. When I am not home, I think of how I want to be home. When friends and family ask if I want to go somewhere, I do not immediately say "Yes" anymore; I actually make the decision if I would rather be at home doing the many new hobbies I have given myself (quilting, blogging, movies, and reading classics). And soon enough school will be on that list as well.
I have chosen not to get cable television. Which has opened up late-night free-time that DVR used to steal from me. I spent every night playing "catch-up" on every show I was following, then I would go to sleep very late. This is what I did every night after work. It was a pathetic way to live my life, I dare say!
I am now noticing motivation starting to peak out of the clouds and I am wanting to improve my way of life. I am no longer in "survivor mode", of which I have been for the last year or so of my life. I am ready to live and live for myself. So to wrap it all up, this blog will be about that: the adventures of being me and the things that I live for!
