Send Me On My Way


Okay, so I'm at work, and I just listened to the song "Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root and suddenly I am in the mood to write. No idea what about exactly, I just want to write.

So recently I have been presented with some things, not all of which are products of my own doing, but still. I have been presented with the repercussions of my mistakes as well as the repercussions of the 'mistakes' of someone very near and dear to me. These things cannot be take lightly, however, when does the tormenting become too much? at what point can we take a step back and just say, "You know what, I've paid enough, now it's time to move on"? Contrary to popular belief this is not a way to escape your problems or your mistakes, but rather a way to exist in spite of those things that you have done or things that have happened. I have been told that one cannot live successfully while constantly thinking about what they do not wish to do or who they do not wish to become and I am beginning to ponder this more and more; what do you think?

bloggin'

Hello all-not sure if I should even begin like that for I am almost positive that I will be the only one reading this, but ANYWAY-Let me start out with a little bit about myself. My name is Jessica and I was born and raised in Norfolk, VA.

I attended Norview High School and it was... well, it was high school. I am now a student at Old Dominion University with the intention to major in English with a concentration in Secondary Education but we'll see how that goes.
I'm not entirely sure what route I wish to take with this blog or what I even wish to talk about or address, however, I created it for a reason. I haven't written much in awhile other than the boring essay assigned in class here and there so I have not seen much development in my writing since graduating high school. That needs to change so might as well give blogging a shot... even if my life is unbelievably boring.

Until next time,
Jessica
