The first couple of steps

So, I've never written one of these before. I've never been able to keep a diary either, but I promise to anyone who reads this to be honest and to write often. I won't say everyday because, well, I'm human and life may prevent it. But if life interrupts my writing I'll be sure to fill you in as soon as I can.

Okay, now that that's out of the way it's time to start. The title of my blog comes from the book "My Love, My Love: Or The Peasant Girl" by Rosa Guy. Everytime that the main character Desiree feels overwhelmed by something and needing the courage to go on, she tells herself to "put one foot out, the other will follow." Basically she tells herself to just do it, keep going. Things will work out if you remember to take it one step at a time.

The past couple of days, this quote has been very helpful to me. See, my boyfriend broke up with saying that he "doesn't relate to me anymore." I don't know what that means exactly but after crying over it for a few hours Desiree's saying came to me. I would get through it one step at a time.

First step: Stop crying. Yes, we were together for 8 months. Yes, it hurts to loose him. And yes, this totally came out of left field and hit me in the chest. But I won't let it kill me; I have way too much stuff I want to get in done before I turn 25.

Second Step: Keeping my life in motion. So what if we broke up the day before a big callback? I need to rock the callback! This girl needs to pay the bills.

Third Step: Learn to be "just friends?" Okay so that one isn't so easy, but I'm working on it.
