I'm Lexi.
I'm about to graduate from college (3 weeks!), I recently became single after a 3 year relationship, I just moved out of my parents' house for only the second time in my life, and I am applying for post-graduate jobs.
it is just now hitting me that this phase of my life is about to be over. I will have no classes, no responsibility to finish my homework at a certain time, no babysitting my younger siblings constantly, and I also have no significant other to answer to.
instead, my responsibilities have known shifted to much more adult things- paying the bills, searching for full-time employment, a new form of relationships with friends and family, and a yearning to have my own family starting with the right partner.
there are not many things I am "great" or "talented" at. but I can read, and so I have been reading people's blogs for over a year online and wishing I could do what they do. I was in a relationship and kept seeing other people talk about their spouse or significant other and I would wish I had that kind of love and affection (not that I condone comparing your relationship to others- I don't, but I think even back thewn I recognized that my relationship was not right in many ways). I read countless stories of births, losses, promotions, weddings, and even daily experiences of strangers. these blogs teach me so much and open my eyes to completely new ways of thinking.
so now I want to try being talented at something new. I want to write, instead of just passively reading as I have been. I want to comment on people's blogs that inspire me instead of just reading and being anonymous. I want advice from complete strangers on how to find a job, decorate my own apartment, look for the right things in a relationship, learn how to do that cool thing where there's a hyperlink in a word, and cook new recipes. I even hope to expand my world of relationships, to transform these complete strangers into new acquaintances.
my life may not be enthralling, but it's mine, and now I want to share it with others the way thousands of other normal but unique women do as well.
