This is my first post. Obviously. Im not sure how any of this works actually. I just woke up today and thought you know what I'm going to start a blog. My brother, who is a mentor to me told me to take those chances and start by doing what I want to do know. So here I am. This year I want to do things that I want to do, not what other people think I should do. So let me give you a little bit of a background of myself.

My name is Brooklyn I am 17 years old, eighteen in July :) I am a senior now, ready for the last rodeo. Im not gonna lie I know what I wanna do and its crazy but I'm gonna go after it. (Tune in next post to hear about it;) You're probably thinking why is this child making a blog she has no idea what she is even doing. Yes, you're correct I really don't know what I'm doing, but do we all even know what were doing? Hey maybe this blog thing won't work, maybe it won't get far, maybe it was just something I've really wanted to do and just happens to fail. Maybe God wants this to go far, or maybe he has other plans. Guess what though, at least I tried, because its better these days to try new stuff and see where it goes. It's better to do the most craziest things than to sit back at home and think about doing what you my friend want to do. Im sure many people who sit on their death bed are thinking about the risks they wish they would've taken 20 years ago. Don't waste today or any day, take those risks, go cliff diving, get that shirt you have always wanted, because you know what we aren't promised tomorrow, not even the end of this day. So LIVE! Do what YOU have always wanted to do. Don't look back but don't look so ahead and plan everything, because things will fall in place. And what do I know? Im 17. "I don't know anything." No I don't know, but I've learned a lot over the years, maybe ill share my story sometime but its still writing, and there's still plenty of mistakes ill make, and people I will probably hurt but when you're laying in a hospital bed about to take your last breath, (who knows when that will be) will you be satisfied with the way you lived your life? Or will you sit there wishing you would've taken those chances, spent almost all your money on that adventurous trip. We have control over our life, it's what we do with it. So if you're sitting in your horrendous office hating your life wishing you would've done what you loved, well guess what it's never too late to do what you want to do. Go after what you love, don't focus on how much your salary is, because if you're miserable I promise you doing what you love means much more than 100k a year. So leave the job you hate, don't worry about what will happen after that just focus on going after what you feel is right for you. TUNE IN SOON TO HEAR MORE ABOUT MY LIFE

Signing off,

Brooklyn
