Pipe Dreams

When I was in high school I had three passions; reading, writing, and running. My goal in college was to get as far as I could with the latter. I moved on to college with dreams of getting my degree in exercise science and then pursuing it even further with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in mind. I did receive my Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science but I decided, ultimately, that physical therapy was not for me. However, living in a smaller town there is not a huge market for anything else Exercise Science related so my dream of mixing my love for running and a career didn’t end up panning out as I had hoped.

That leaves two more things I’m passionate about though. Reading comes pretty easy. I can do that whenever I want, and it is my favorite way to escape from the world, even for just a little while. Writing is another story, while it is also an escape, it is also a risk. I’m going to risk it. I want to give writing an honest shot and that is where this blog comes in. So here are my goals with my blog:

1. Use this blog as a way to reach out to family and friends, to keep in touch, and to communicate things from my day-to-day life

2. To hold myself accountable. The way I see it is if I say here, I do it! Readers can keep me in check. I want to set goals and reach them, writing them down will hopefully help me to get there.

3. Lastly, and the most important, I will attempt to use this blog to write every day. Whether a word, a sentence, a rant, or the makings of a book I want to start writing more and more.

We will see how it all goes, so keep up with me, learn with me, go on adventures with me. I’m just going to go with it and I’ll see where I end up.
