The Better @ 30 project

So many things have changed recently. So many things have shaken up my entire life, shifting the pieces of what once seemed to make sense and be solid under my feet. With the loss of my significant other last month and a birthday this month, I have come to this realization: I owe it to him, to myself, and to the people I am left in the care of to continue bettering myself.

To that end, I have decided to tackle a long term project. Will I finish it? I don't know. That's a long way down the road, but I'm certainly going to begin. I call it the "Better @ 30" project because the premise is that I am going to take action now to ensure at the age of 30 I will be better looking physically, in better health, finished with my Bachelor's degree and on my way to grad school (if not already IN grad school), in a better financial situation, and happier than I am now. I cannot say I will be happier than I've ever been since I have known that and doubt it can be topped, but happier than now - certainly.

These things are not small projects. I want to complete a lot of things, I want to make a lot of changes and improvements and it's all going to take work. Sadly, it's not the type of work I always enjoy, and so I'm going to end up slacking at points. I already know that. I've got close to 3 years on this timeline, and it will be very telling whether or not this blog even exists at that point.

If it does though, there WILL be changes and I'm going to be hotter, healthier, and more successful at 30 than I've ever been. Let's get this party started!
