I'm starting a blog
I've never had a blog before, but I figure here is as good a place as any to have one. It shouldn't be too hard right? Sharing your life with a bunch of total random strangers on the internet that may or may not be serial killers or psychopaths. Or maybe just a bunch of internet trolls. Anyways, I'm getting side tracked. I was going to tell you about today.

Intense Changes
It's been a while and it truly sucks to be away from the things you love. For me it's writing, among other things. I've had some intense life changes happening all year long. I've moved cross country and I'm readjusting to a familiar city. It's nostalgic and interesting to be home. A lot of people don't move back to their hometown once they leave. Statistically, 58 percent of people between 25-35 return to their hometown while ten percent will return after the age of 35. What normally makes people return? Family, community, familiarity, higher paying positions or lower living expenses. For me, it was almost all of the above.

Lifetime List
As a person with a type A personality, I have a deep affection for lists. Anything I can put on a list and later check off makes me feel happier. I have daily, weekly, and monthly to-do lists. It helps me feel organized and accomplished. Whether this is true or in my head, who knows?

The Beginning
So. Everybody wants to be a star, right? That's what I thought I wanted more than anything for the longest time. I'd lay in bed fantasizing about acceptance speeches and stadium performances; proving my grade-school bullies wrong about me and anything else that's supposed to go right for the protagonist in a YA novel.

Does Anyone Notice?
How time past so fast I’ll never understand. Life can feel so great for so long, but I can’t help but wonder if I was feeling that contentment because it was actually there or my medication was giving my mind a false hope. Since I was young, I’ve done nothing other than cling to any chance of true happiness but I realize now that I’m clinging to something that I have no experience with.

The Struggle Is Real
Independence. Motivation. Consistency. Freedom. All of these are some of what I am currently lacking. Four years ago, I completely transformed my life. I moved out for university and was finally able to fulfill my goal of living a healthy lifestyle. Being Indian, almost everyday my mum cooked Indian dinners, which we all know is unhealthy. I was a big girl and very uncomfortable in my own skin. Therefore, once I moved out, I gained independence and the freedom to do as I desire. I started off by filling up my fridge and cupboards with food which is good for you with the occasional treats. I found healthier substitutes and the best thing I ever did was plan my meals. I tracked my calorie intake and the macros. You would be surprised with how easily we can overeat. I noticed results fairly quickly and with the increase in confidence, I joined the gym. With the diet on track, I was able to focus on my workouts. I started of going once a week and gradually ended up going 5-6 times a week after a year or so. It became an addiction. Everyone noticed my results and the best part of all of this is I didn't follow these special diets. I ate anything I wanted in moderation.

Setbacks & Heart Break
Over the course of a career, there will be ups and downs. Trials and tribulations that will push the body, test the mind and attempt to bend the spirit. Some of these are within our control, others not so much. Over my career, I've had bad games, broken bones, political decisions, and of course terrible statistics at one point or another. Why am I bringing all of this up? The road to the top is long, difficult, and, sometimes, you need a little luck on your side too.

The Motivation that You've Been Seeking For!
In all honesty, the girls, the parties, & the friends aren't going anywhere. Find YOUR PURPOSE AND GET ON YOUR GRIND. I say this because I've been a victim of trying to please everybody instead of pleasing myself. Through developing these habits, I've figured out that not only are you getting your life together but women tend to dig this type of stuff. I had to learn from this thing called "The Disease Of More" that I heard from world renowned rapper J Cole. I would tend to place importance on materialistic things such as having the latest fashion, having a lot of cars, or simply having a high abundance of women in my life. This eventually made me unhappy and I'm committed to change.

The Magic of Manifestation
My father was a carpenter, although he didn’t have any formal training. He was a truck driver by trade, and a very gentle soul and musician by nature. He loved to create with his hands and wood was his medium. Our home was filled with shelves and bookcases that he had skillfully put together in his own special fashion.
