I started this blog a year ago in March of 2015 and dedicated this blog and the year 2015 to me. Its purpose was to explore what it's like to move to a new place on your own.
The blog was named "Dating Myself in Durham" because it was meant to be an entertaining account of all the adventures I take myself on in my new town.
Now, it's a year later, and I'm dating someone other than myself. This year will be dedicated to trying new things, challenging myself, and being okay with being uncomfortable. It will still chronicle all the adventures I take myself on, but if you're lucky- maybe it will chronicle an adventure we go on together. ;-)

When it rains, it pours
“Dream big and live out loud. Don’t let anyone tell you who you are or what you should be. Don’t do anything simply because you are supposed to. Rather than become like everyone else, accentuate and develop the attributes that differentiate you from the rest. Don’t blend in, stand out. Define your own metrics for success and train yourself early on to overcome fear and rejection.”
