Way #1: Start a blog

"Where there's a will, there's a way..."

Or perhaps, where there is boredom and a desire to express oneself through writing, there's an outlet! And it's called "blogging". I've only just gotten interested in the phenomenon entitled blogging. I never thought of myself as a person to collect my thoughts and document them as I could never keep a personal journal, nor diary. Sigh, I can't even keep up with my own TWEETS. But a resounding urge kept pounding on the very door of my brain, waking me in the middle of very deep sleep and sometimes, distracting me in the middle of very impertinent thoughts. Start a blog, it said. "ABOUT WHAT?!" That was my reply...definitely in caps as I wanted to scream out in anguish at a repetitive message that made no sense at all. At my question, my brain literally laughed. About being single of course, silly (insert eye roll here). What better way to FILL your time during your season of singleness (AND unemployment) than to document every moment of it through blog, give it a spiffy title...and PRAY that someone who feels the same way and is living the same journey as I am will actually stumble upon this thing in cyberspace and READ it.


So here it is. 101 Ways to live an absolutely fulfilling single life. Again, insert a long, drawn out "eye roll" here. How am I SUPPOSED TO DOCUMENT A LIFE OF FULFILLED SINGLENESS? Me, an unemployed, recent college graduate, who's only wish is to get a job and move out of mom and dad's abode! What do I know about living it up as I quite frequently find myself right where I am now...in front of a computer screen...either looking for jobs or writing (more oft the later of those). Then. My mind, being the genius that it is said to me...LIFE IT UP. This journal, this BLOG will be your key to getting off of your bottom and into the world! Not only will it be inspiration to those who are living like you (not exactly wallowing in unemployment and living as the quintessential "child in the basement"), but this is your chance to start living! Just because you're in a lull in your life, YOU don't have to be inactive. LIFE IT UP! Allow God to Breathe a little LIFE into your situation. Revive that defeated spirit! Experience new things! Get out of your room! BREATH ACTUAL AIR!

So, for the next...however long it takes me to get to 101, I will be documenting my journey...as a single, Christian woman. In Atlanta...

& I'm gonna life it up.
