Get A Life!

As I move onward in my single life, I'm finding that I really don't have a life beyond work. During my free time I'm usually on the computer. Hobbies have become a thing of the past. A social life? What's that?! For the past few years, I have revolved my life around someone else.  Now that that person is out of the picture, I have absolutely nothing left. I absolutely detest that I have allowed myself to become like this.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what I want out of life, even when it comes to small things like hobbies and interests. There are so many things that I've always wanted to do, but have always made excuses on some level why I can't do it. I claim I don't have time, but in truth, if I spent less time on facebook, I would have plenty of time. I even use money as an excuse, but if I didn't eat out as much or if I didn't waste money on chai lattes at Starbucks, I would have more money.

So what do I want?

I want to learn how to decorate fabulous cakes..
I want to learn how to make beautiful creations like this:



I want to learn how to cook gourmet meals like so:



I want to learn how to play these instruments well:







I want to travel to places like this:






I want to volunteer my time to help anyone who needs help.

I want to spend more time getting to know people outside of my circle.
People are so fascinating. I want to cultivate friendships with many different people in many different walks of life.

Being single again isn't necessarily a bad thing. I will have more time to work on me. In developing myself, I know I will find sweet joy.
