As the blog title already states, this is my journey of discovering the creative beauty of life. For many months I've been trying to discover what makes life amazing. Too often than naught I have had a day when nothing new has happened. The same old routine, the same old classes, the same old job search. Ah yes, the job search. The goal of every college graduate. After all it is the only reason why I came to college. Not to discover myself, not to join a sorority, or hook up with boys but to find that perfect career that would make me happy, give me the perfect family, and leave me sleeping peacefully at night. Oh, and make the community I come from super happy and jealous of the awesome stature I'm going to have from my job. (right...)

Yet, as this past year has gone by it's been one long journey of grey. I've done what I'm supposed, dreamed what I'm supposed to, and act how I'm supposed... I just want to different for a bit...I'm tired of doing what I think I'm supposed to be doing.

I did join my school's belly dancing troupe. Scandalous for my family, but hey it let fall in love with a whole new culture. This semester I'm going to choreograph my own dance for the first time, something I've never done and a creative step I'm excited and nervous to take.

So now I'm on a journey to wrestle my cautious and rational mind into opening to a whole world of possibility. From trying new food, to trying new forms of art and expression, to trying new methods of self expression (interpretive dance?!). I'll take up photography, I who know nothing past pictures taken for Facebook.

After all, there isn't a better time to discover things than now. I mean, what else should I REALLY be doing with my life?
