Renew.

    It's the beginning of February; day 33 of 2016. 

   The only real "resolution" I made for 2016 is to read more. My latest read Is a memoir: Grace Jones 'i'll Never Write My Memoirs'. Only 80 pages in, I've already been impacted by the legend. 

   Reinvent yourself. Rebirth is a recurring word, not only a word, but more of a mantra, that holds great importance to Ms. Grace Jones. There's a grand amount of strength and freedom in reinventing yourself. Taking on several identities and personas, experimenting with your person and in the same sense, finding your true self and living out a life, any life that you want. Several lives in fact.

  I identify with Grace. Her need to discover every inch of her psyche. Her soul. To be free of the boundaries, free of the constricting the rules and obligations set by outside people and forces forced upon you. 

  I want to create a life on my own terms. 

  February 2, 2016- My new "resolution" is to experience.

   I want to try almost everything. I want to be scared by these new experiences. I want to do things and go to new places without being held back things as trivial (although really fucking important, lol) as money. 

   Grace traveled to new destinations not knowing how she was going to make it, but having to figure it out in order to survive. In her memoir she says taking risks builds strength. I want to test my limitations! I want to continue to build my character. Pick up where I left off a year ago back in San Francisco.

  Push thruuuu 2016 me. The year of new people. New places. New experiences. New knowledge. New strength. A few found confidence in myself and my capabilities.
