(Staring at this empty page wondering: where do I start?)

Been procrastinating trying to work on this post for the longest time - having a hard time sorting out my thoughts and wondering how to even begin. So, instead of continuing on the plan of just blogging about the mount-tons of stuff that have happened, I'm gonna embark on the 31-Day Challenge which I saw from a friend's retweet.
It's a (31-continuous-day) challenge to help jumpstart your journaling, laying out a roadmap for your journal content for the entire duration of the challenge. I figured that it's an apt time to do this, since some of the questions in the roadmap covers the thoughts I want to pen down and.. who cares if this challenge came from 'artofmanliness.com'? Still a great help!

Thus, today marks the first day of the 31-Day Journaling Challenge!

Day 1: Start with answering the question of why you want to journal, and beyond that, why you decided to embark on this 31-day experience. Write out what you’d like to get from journaling.

I've always enjoyed writing (and reading) since young. I express myself the best through words and translating my thoughts and emotions into written words is therapeutic for me. In Primary school, I kept a physical journal. I even brought it around to journal about my days! And that, is the main reason behind this blog - keeping memories. However, distractions' aplenty and I haven't been doing what I like to do, for a very long time.

Also, I recently closed a major chapter pf my life. Lots have happened, as usual. Stepping out of my comfort zone and looking back in retrospect, self-reflecting; I realise how disgusting of a person I am. And I say that because I don't like the person I have become. I have made decisions and done many things I am thoroughly not proud of. I've lost friends, I've lost lovers, and now I've lost respect for myself.

But instead of wallowing in self-pity (which sounds temptingly easy), I shall take the opportunity to blog about it and hopefully, this challenge helps me sort my thoughts out.

So,
Goal 1:  I'd like to 're-find' this passion for journaling again, and hopefully after the end of 31 days, I will not be so lazy, and will continue with this practice.
