I'm Heather. I'm 28 years old. And I have never been in a relationship.
I'm a little tired of being alone. No, I'm a lot tired of being alone. I want to change it.
I've been going through a lot lately, all of which will be chronicled as I go along. But this project was a last-minute machination; it came to me three or four days ago as I was sitting back and evaluating my life (as I've been wont to do lately). I've done a lot of serious thinking about what's making me unhappy right now, and what I might need to achieve in order to change that.
The ultimate goal? Find myself in my first ever romantic relationship by December 31, 2011. But it's more than that. It's figuring out what I want, what holds me back, and who it is I want to be, in and out of a relationship. It's soul-searching, and therapy, and there will be a lot of harsh realizations. But I've heard you can't truly love another person until you love yourself. So I plan on starting from the beginning, and taking anyone who reads this along with me on the journey.
I didn't decide to fully go through with this until a couple hours ago, so things aren't completely set up. But regardless of how rudimentary this may be, or how rocky the circumstances surrounding this project are, I'm entering into this with the hope that maybe, for once, I will hit a deadline.
Welcome to the party.
