Blog content: travel, food, or boys? All of the above!

So, why would anyone want to read this blog? And just what is the blog about, exactly? These are the questions that have been plaguing me for over a month now. (Which should tell you something right there. Girlfriend has some serious commitment issues. And I obviously live in my head, I'm hoping this makes me sound neurotically adorable and not just plain crazy.) I used to blog about my life, observations, travels, etc. but stopped a year ago. I couldn't bring myself to air my dirty laundry for the whole world to read and if not to write about what's going on in my life, then what? Everything else seemed so trivial. My last blog was fit for public viewing, true feelings were edited out so as to not hurt those I loved. Instead I shared quirky little things I thought people would find humorous or interesting. With this new blog, I will be speaking my mind freely. After all, I didn't come this far to have to water down my experiences. My intention is to share my struggles and success with my usual self-deprecating humor. And here's my disclaimer: my intention is not to offend anyone or criticize anyone's life choices.

So, is the focus on travel, then? Aspects of travel and adventure are guaranteed to be shared as travel is my driving force, my life blood. If I didn't travel, I would be a mere shell of myself. Travel is what I spend my money on, it's my form of escapism, my drug of choice. The more I travel, the more I want it. It has taught me numerous life lessons, most of which I am still learning. And for those of you who love to travel, perhaps this rings true for you. And for those who don't have a love of travel, you may not understand why it's impossible for us to get traveling out of our systems. Traveling as an abstract concept is surely my soulmate. But not the main focus of this blog.  

So, is this a food lover's blog, then? After all, it's my other obsession, hence the career choice in nutrition. And my choices of where to travel involve good food. For example, I'd choose Thailand over say, Peru, just so I don't have to eat a guinea pig. I will always find a way to include food into my writing. But this is also not my focus right now.

My true passion is finding my life's purpose while living life fully and in the present moment. You're probably thinking serious and boring, right? Under normal circumstances, perhaps. But insert newly single girl with a sense of adventure and a very active social life and you get anything but boring. After years of marriage, this single gal is on a fast learning curve and has the stories to prove it.  Since I've reclaimed singledom, I've never felt more free, excited and hopeful about life, even despite more (seemingly) uncertainty. The shackles of society's expectations are off. So, bring it, world!  Show me what you got! And please, sprinkle in some humor, adventure, good friends and good food while you're at it.
