A Proper Introduction

I can't just start a blog without y'all knowing a little about  myself first. Especially if this blog is supposed to be about how I am changing and becoming brand new. 

 

So, let's get this started- for those of you who aren't the most observant, my name is Brandi. I'm in my early twenties and I live in Maryland. I moved here (from North Carolina) less than a week after I graduated from college, leaving behind my parents, a younger sister, and the one high school-town that I grew up in. I would say that I haven't looked back since, but that would be a lie... & I don't think lying would be a good way to start this thing off. I miss my family and my college life immensely, and if I could, I would pack up my car and move back to NC tonight. 

I know what you're thinking..."Brandi, why don't you just move back to North Carolina if you miss it so much?" My response: as cliche as it sounds, would be that it's not that simple. We'll touch more on this matter at a later time though.

Let's move on to some of the more positive aspects of my new life in Maryland. I am blessed to have a job that has taught me more than I ever would have expected and I'm lucky enough to live with my incredible boyfriend (who doubles as my best friend) and our feisty, quite lovable pup, Magnolia (we call her Nolie). 

Obviously, I won't be able to meet all of my readers individually (as I'm sure that they are MILLIONS of you) so I'll just assume that you all are pretty chill people who love blogs, dogs, and sweet tea as much as I do.

Well, now that we have been properly acquainted, let's discuss this whole "Brand New Brandi" thing. I think everyone has things that want to change about themselves...not everyone would post those things on a blog for everyone to read, but what can I say?  I like to live on the edge. 

For starters, I want to work on being more optimistic and positive. I also am in desperate need to improve my health. Now, I don't mean a 30 day abs challenge, I mean drastically change my lifestyle. For God's sake, I'm 22 years old and the closest I have come to eating vegetables is drinking a V8 juice (that's fruit flavored). I want to learn more about myself, I want to stop stressing about things that I cannot control, and I want to be the best teacher and student that I can be. I want to try new things (not just vegetables) and meet new people.

It would be cool if y'all would follow me on this journey and support me, but no pressure or anything.

Until next time,
