The seemingly trivial aspects of life.

I will be the first to admit that I have the memory of a goldfish. Hence, constant list-maker. I most definitely take after my mother and have always followed her example of lists. I am also a firm believer (and addict) of planners, already showing you my latest, greatest and most pretty one I recently picked up. Anyone who knows me, especially throughout school will probably be able to point out that I am an avid Post It lover and constantly scribbling anything from grocery lists, to do lists, to remember lists.

Anything that helps me remember all of life's {seemingly} important things.

Maybe it's the "teacher" in me, maybe it's the memory thing, maybe it's seeing my mom doing it growing up. But I don't think it's a habit that will be fading anytime soon.

Which brings me back to this little space on the internet; my little space. I've been a little wishy-washy lately about what to put here. I am continuously wondering

Oh is that too trivial?

No one cares about that. 

Is that important enough 

or too stupid to actually put time and energy into typing or posting?

I've recently realized that as much as this space is about growing, it's also a form of documentation. Granted, I will try not to bore anyone will anything obviously trivial. 

But that's just it. 

Maybe what seems trivial to me isn't to you, or what's trivial to you isn't to me. 

So this space is going to be used to remember. While being conscious enough to live and not just to document. But I think that it is important to think of both when taking up space and time, mine or yours. I want to have something visible when my memory slips, I want to have images and more importantly to me, words. I want to write what I can so that I can remember exactly how that happened or what I was thinking in that moment. I want to use it as a measurement of growth, able to see where I was, what I was doing and where I am now. 

So cheers to new adventures. 

And to having a place that helps me remember them.
