I don’t often consider myself a perfectionist. I definitely did when I was younger, but I have since learned that some things just need to be let go.

However, I must confess that my perfectionism has reared its ugly head on this blog. I have found myself overly invested in the news – particularly random missing persons cases – and it is hard for me to find the “good”. As such, I have neglected writing Good News Mondays for quite some time. And I feel like I shouldn’t blog at all if I’m not at least doing that. Isn’t that ridiculous?

So here I am, back again. There’s only so much I can write about, but I have plenty of ideas in my mind. I have been feverishly writing down ideas on my iPad during my commute home each night.

Basically this entry is to say I will try to do better! I want to be able to look back on this blog years from now, and get a sense of who I was at 24. This is supposed to be an exciting time in my life, right?!

One thing I am greatly looking forward to is my upcoming trip to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I have never in my life been anywhere tropical. My boyfriend has been talking about taking me on vacation for months and finally he said, just pick someplace and book it! So, after a great deal of research, that is what I chose. We plan on going fishing one day and exploring an ecopark and the Mayan ruins on another day, but apart from that, straight up relaxing! I’m sure I will have plenty to share when I get home.
