Re-defining my {blogging} goals

1. I will write, for myself, about anything. I want to write for me. I want to write things that so that I can look back and remember the beginning of our life together, the good, the bad, and everything in between. It sounds so cliche, but this is my space. This also means I won't write just what others might want to read. I'm going to write things that I want to remember, that I want my kids {when we have them} to be able to look back and read.

2. I will write about struggles and the journey, rather than just the accomplishments. Life brings many challenges, and often I quickly forget about how I overcame those challenges, in favor of just being glad it's over. I need to remember and remind myself of how hard I have worked and that that is the goal - to work hard. To fully take on challenges and be fearless in doing so. Not to check many easy things off a list.

3. I will write freely, and allow myself to make mistakes. I am allowed to hit 'publish' even when the writing is not perfect. Even if the structure is not perfect. Because I have way too many posts that have never been finished because I didn't have the time to make them 'perfect.'
