Why 19 Steps?

So I suppose it's only appropriate for my first post to focus on the point of me blogging. Here's the simple answer... Because I believe that maybe somewhere amongst my snarkastic (a cross between "sarcastic" and "snarkie") commentary and sometimes mindless ramblings about realizations in my life, someone somewhere out there will be inspired to step outside the realm of complacency and into the life they truly feel called to living.

To be honest, complacency and following the norm just for the sake of following it are two things I have a hard time tolerating in my own life. I came to this realization when I was 19, hence the blog's name "19 Steps Outside the Norm."

My plans for this blog are to:
1) Try to stay on top of updating it first of all. I've sadly held many failed attempts at keeping up with diaries and journals.
2) Sharing with others my rendition of the journey we all essentially take, called Life.
3) Possibly make one or two people smile along the way.

So here it is, people. The beginning of another beginning!

Ahomataquisen!
