It's already 10 pm. I'm sitting in front of the computer with a variety of thoughts jumbling my mind, and the goldfish cracker bag... cute, huh? I should probably be heading to bed, but I already know I won't be able to sleep. I haven't been able to get to sleep too easily in days with everything on my mind. I'm just too excited, and excited for what? I don't have really anything planned. Suspense is a favorite of mine though, so I don't mind.

I hope this is enough of an introduction.
I never expected to be sitting home, beginning a blog on a Tuesday night. Especially not now that I'm nearly a junior in high school. Writing out feelings, and detailed events of my life were fine in middle school, but the very thought of documenting it all now seems ridiculous. In fact, after I deleted an old blog from 7th grade, I never intended to have another one. So much has happened in the past few months though that I feel like I have to change my mind. I need a way to get everything out, and writing has always helped me out with that. I'm not the kind of person to sit down and tell you my problems, or anything that even slightly excites me. I'd actually much rather write it down. So, with all of this said, here I am, and here's my story...
Merriam, Nicole Lynn 15/F
.... Lately, that's how I've been taught to refer to myself. I've had a number of rules, precautions, and limitations thrown into my face after a major health scare in September '07, and things still aren't quite back to normal.
Since then, I'm really realizing what's important to me, and how to make the most of every day, which is the reasoning behind my blog title: Carpe Diem (seize the day).
This might sound odd, but a fortune cookie I got a few weeks ago says it best;
"Many a false step is made by standing still."
I keep the paper with me every day, either tucked in my pocket, or stuffed somewhere I'm sure I won't lose it, and I'm constantly reminded to live my life without hesitations. That's a big deal to me, because hesistations hold you back. It keeps you from accomplishing goals, keeps you from complete happiness.
It may mean getting myself into a little trouble once in a while, but if you ask me, that's what keeps it exciting.
In just the past couple weeks, I've also realized that living this way may mean a bit of embarrasment is thrown my way, and even some intense heart palpitations. I think I like it this way though. I know exactly where I stand on all important issues because I have strong opinions; and because of this I don't know where I stand with a lot of people. It's exciting.
