Pardon the corny title.....NOT!!!

I forgot to write this a couple of days ago; I cannot believe that we are already in the second half of this damn decade. A lot has changed since then, when we started this decade, I was just a nerdy AF high schooler obsessed with memes, geography, 2000s technology, and cartoons who had to endure the pandemic which put a huge mental strain. The whole BLM craze and me just studying meme culture and playing Minecraft with my small group of friends I still keep in touch with. Fast forward a couple year, high school is over and now I am a free adult. We kickstart that by visiting Alentejo, Portugal which was a lot drier, yellower, and rural compared to the area my family is from. I remember seeing a lot of the castle nearby the Spanish border.

I don't want to derail the intention of this post. I mean it's a blog but still, I just want to express how much has changed and my plans to change for the new year. Now to really stay on topic. What I plan on doing is mostly broadening my experiences, taking more risks in life, and spending more time with friends and family. I will shake things up a little by just trying something new or at least devising a routine/planner to help me remind to shake things up. I will refuse to use the phrase "leave the comfort zone".....it doesn't make sense since the comfort zone is meant to be comfortable. If you are bored or are feeling a sense of stagnation, you aren't in the comfort zone; you aren't even comfortable so why leave it? Get back to it by shaking your routine up a little, make subtle changes.
