Strip It All Away

It's that time of year again - time for resolutions, time for new beginnings, time for a fresh start, a clean slate. 

This past year brought big changes to my life. I graduated Law School, got my first Big Girl Job, quit said BGJ, and got my Dream Job, moved from Lubbock to Tyler (via Hallsville) back to Lubbock, moved across town to my own rental, adopted a dog and unfortunately returned the dog to rescue (MAJOR SAD FACE), and last (but seemingly most life altering) (and that's saying something with all the above changes) I ended my on again-off again 3(ish) year relationship. The only serious relationship I have ever had. With the only person I have ever thought I was going to marry. Ending the relationship was a life-changer.  
 

I want to learn from this major part of my life. I want to look back on January 3, 2014 and be able to see how far I have come this year - hence the starting of this blog. And I want to heal from this heartbreak. So this blog will be my place to grieve, grow, gripe, heal, share, and become the person I want to be.

Life Becoming - While I may be 25 *ahem* 26 - I feel like I am just now coming into my own.  I want to become my own, true, stripped-down self. I want to truly know myself. I want to be confident in my own, extra-large, skin. 

I also want to become a better person this year - but REALLY this year - so without further adieu - here are my resolutions - hopefully writing them down will help! 

  • Re-Affirm my Faith
    • Join a Church
      • Be active in the Church
        • Join a Small Group/Bible Study
  • Volunteer
    • I'm thinking Meals On Wheels/Big Brother-Big Sister
  • Make GOOD friends
    • Lubbock in Law School was great because of the people I met during law school.
    • Lubbock without these wonderful friends, is not quite as great. 
    • Now, I do have awesome Co-Workers whom I love - however, they are mostly males and all married.
  • Be Healthier
    • Because I want to be happier
    • Because I want to have self-confidence 
So there we go - at least so far. 

I hope to update this blog semi-often. I hope to Strip It All Away and discover who I really am.
