Let us begin

Sometimes I write and then, I stop. It used to be so easy facing the blank page with joy and the hope that something interesting would come up. After all, I did study communication and not so long ago, I thought I would be... I am not sure what, but in my mind, my job would involve writing. I probably became a little insufferable when one of my teachers told me that my writing reminded him of Edgar Allan Poe's stories. I was a snowflake. I was THE snowflake.

Time went by, life happend and little by little I stoped feeling like a snowflake... I am more like slush these days. Partially melted, more watery than flowy and probably with a lot of artificial flavors...much more earthy and much less unique. 

But let us begin. My twenty-somenthings going on thirthy-something friends have contagious plans. One of them is about to start a year-long trip with her husband.  They will go see the world because YOLO and because this is a once in a lifetime chance to live a wonderful experience that will probably change her and her relationship with the world forever. It is hard not to feel inspired by that. When inquiring about her plans and how she came to be so brave, I learnt that she's part of a community named live your legend...which to me sounds like a mix between the optimist club and the boyscouts, all so full with good intentions and so cheery to their fellow dreamers. So here I am...a girlscout in disguise. A dreamer in the flesh of a cat lady. Although, I  most say I am allergic to cats. 

Nevermind the cats.. I have orchids and a flowery couch. That should serve. I am back to the publising "my wiritng" just in case a wondering reader comes along and feels compelled to share a comment. This first challenge set by the "Live your Legend" team seems a little pointless since I have no idea what I want to get from blogging again. Maybe just make somebody laugh? See... I am not sure what I want to get out of joining Live your legend, I guess I want to find answers. To remember what used to inspired me? To connect with others that feel just as cofused about their career paths? To exhchange a few ideas on how to do good and do well at the same time? To find what makes me happy and also gather the courage to do it? Ok...maybe that's to much of a mission for a simple blog... but who knows... this is just the begining...
