Year of Exploration

What do you like? What don't you like? I never knew the answers to these questions, but now I'm taking the time to find out. This is my year of exploration. My time to find out who I really am. It started after graduation...well, it started on New Year's Day. I said to myself, "Sydney, make some freaking decisions already!" But I couldn't make any decisions on anything because I had no idea what I wanted. And it's decisions on minor things too:

What type of men am I interested in?
Why do I love the color purple?
Do I really like butter pecan ice cream, or do I like it because it was the first flavor I tried and I just stuck with it?

You see, these seem like easy questions, but when you're constantly following everyone else, they can become very challenging. Your thoughts and preferences get lost in the mix. So now it's my time! And you know what? IT FEELS GREAT! I can actually answer all of these questions. And I'm happy with my answers. Oh yeah, I also love quotes! My sister gave me one this morning, "If you have to think about it, you probably shouldn't do it." Who knew??? I never thought of it this way, but it makes so much sense! Now, I know some of you may think this whole entry is a little crazy. But I must say, this YEAR OF EXPLORATION has been the most fun I've had in a really long time! If you're not taking time for yourself, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
