I've decided...

...that I have something to say.

And it may not be important.

But it needs to be said for me...



I love to write. I honestly do. And as life has been found to move at a much faster pace in the real world, i.e. after college with a real job and a fiancée, I'm finding that the simpler things seem to have all but disappeared.

Everything that I do lately seems to fit into two categories.

Either I'm doing something to check off my to-do list or a to-do list built for me by someone else.

Or, I'm doing absolutely nothing beneficial at all in hopes of recharging my batteries to tackle the next round of things-to-get-done that is surely on its way soon.

And by nothing I mean legitimately nothing. Vegging out in front of the TV or mindlessly roaming the internet. Things that I've come to believe are not healthy at all.

However, there are healthy ways to "recharge", and one of those ways for me is to write. Writing music. Writing blog posts. Writing notes to my bride-to-be. Writing anything.

It's healthy. It's beneficial. It's relaxing.

And yet when I'm done I feel like I've accomplished something.

I'm sure I could delve deeper into it all than this, but honestly this is what I wanna take away from coming to this realization.

In my life I want to do the things that both leave me recharged and refreshed yet leave me feeling like I've accomplished something as well.

So I write...

What is it for you? What is it that you do that leaves you with a sense of accomplishment while giving you peace?
