Hello, What's Next?

It was December when I sat on my couch, and I just had this urge to write. You know when you get an itch that you just have to scratch? I've always been curious about blogs, but honestly had been a bit too chicken shit to write one. So when I sat there on a random evening after cooking my tenth or more Hello Fresh meal, inspiration came knocking. I had to answer. It was cold outside.

Now a couple months after my first blog post, anticipation has worn off. Hello Fresh has not asked me to be their spokesperson or started paying me to write reviews. My article didn't break the internet, and it's only had three views. Full disclosure: All three of those views are mine.

My mind runs away in wildly imaginative ways. Actually, I don't think it's just mine, I feel like it's human nature. For me, I tend to think that any idea my mind generates is going to be as big as Harry Potter. Then while I'm writing, or working on the task, I make up reasons why it isn't good enough. "When it goes viral and I'm famous, people might not like this." Or "Spend more time on this. You have to get it right for when millions of people see it." This perception that my idea is the best thing in the world actually holds me back from ever doing it. It's when I push past this need to be perfect that the magic actually happens.

No, I don't become famous. No, millions of people don't read my writing. The magic part is that now I actually have a deliverable that people "could" read if they ever stumble to my part of the internet. You see, I shouldn't hold off on doing something because I'm unsure if my wildest dreams will come true or not. I should just do it because I enjoy it. I should do it because I want to. If people happen to see this, then great. If not, at least by the time I die I can say that I wrote a blog.

People will know I wasn't just chicken shit. Now, I have one more thing to check off my bucket list, and that my friends is what this blog is about. So,what is next for me?

1. Write my heart out about anything and everything I feel inspired about.

2. Do everything that brings my heart joy.
