Oh hey there.
i decided that starting a running blog wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. the last year has been crazy. as in, (wow, building a career is so much harder than i thought) and (wow, being in love means a lot of hours spent in target and commuting to see each other) and (wow, can i measure my worth in delta miles on the way to work trips? cause it would be a lot). i don't want to forget what it was like to be 26 and feel old + young all at once.
it often seems like gratitude is in pretty short supply here in nyc. sometimes i think it may actually be a contest to see who can complain the most. the mta, commutes, jobs, landlords, roommates, the mta, the snow, the heat, the garbage smell that permeates nyc streets in the summer, the mta. have i mentioned the mta? (they are so terrible, y'all.) but resentment grows much faster than gratitude, and after a day dealing with the mta (amirite?!) it's hard to remember everything good that happened.
so this is my blog. and i hope it will help me to be a little more grateful for the challenges AND successes that 2018 + beyond will bring.
