“The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.”-Anthony Robbins
My first day of school as a Pre-Kinder, was a nightmare. As we entered my new school, a chipmunk banner welcomed me as I gripped my mom’s hand a little tighter. “You’re a big girl now, and big girls go to school,” kept ringing in my head as she lead me to my classroom. A nice lady that looked like Santa Claus’ wife greeted my mom and smiled at me as she lead me to my seat. My mom left after the belled ringed and a couple of seconds later I busted out in tears. I have no idea how but my teacher, Mrs. Beamer calmed me down and I not only survived the first day but also my first year of school.
The beginning of everything is always hard. Creating this blog was hard, even writing this post right now is hard. Why? Because this isn’t just a post, it’s a step into the new journey I am taking in my life. A journey that I have no idea where it will take me and that is scary. But if there’s something that I learned this summer is that we will never know what’s ahead of us until we get here. I’ve always been scared of the unknown in my future but I realized that if we get so consumed with thinking about the future that we sometimes forget to live in the present. I’m a curious person so I will always think about the future but I won’t let it prevent me from enjoying the present.
That is one of the reasons why I created this blog. For a long time, I wanted to start a blog but the uncertain of it always prevented me from doing it. Well not anymore, this is a journey I have waited for years and what it holds will be something that whether I am ready for or not will happen. So cheers to my new blog, my new journey, wherever it takes me.
Love Always,
Lidia
P.S. Shout out to one of my 1st friends ever, Brittney Crowe. She was the girl who was sitting next to me while I cried on my 1st day, thanks for not judging me or blaming me for ruining your 1st day too!
