soul searching

Today, I begin my journey to find myself.
Kind of, but that just sounded too epic to ignore.

Anyway, last Thursday in English class, we started reading Siddhartha. As a project, we have to indulge in one thing and give up something else for 48 hours - 1 week. I think I'm gonna aim for five days, since that seems about in the middle.

I am going to give up social networking. Facebook, Twitter, any E-mail that isn't school-related. That kind of thing. I am not giving up blogging because I figure it's only linking me to one person and it's a good release of negative energy since all I do on these things is complain. Plus maybe I'll be more motivated to actually do these journals if I have someone to share them with?

I am going indulge in honesty. Kind of weird, but I decided that it's high time that I say what I mean and stop being so freaking diplomatic. I don't know how far I'm going to go with this. It's going to be hard, and that's why I picked it. I think I'm going to limit it to only situations where opinion comes up or I just can't hold it in. I'm not going to go around willy-nilly roasting people that I actually hate and confessing all my secret loves. That wouldn't accomplish anything but awkwardness. And I think this resolution is going to be awkward enough on its own.

So there we go. If I don't update daily, I'm shirking my work, so please keep me on track, even if I want to derail myself.
