Adventures of Andrea

My friend (thanks Jade!) gave me a writing prompt journal for Christmas, and I stumbled upon a really interesting prompt.

What traffic signal best reflects your life right now?

I think this is such a cool way to think about life. For me, my mind immediately jumped to a green light. I have so many options in my life right now, and while that's a little intimidating, I am glad the light is green!

I also think it's important to recognize that sometimes the light may be yellow, and sometimes you might be sitting at a stop sign.

Life changes. Fast. It might seem scary to zoom into the intersection and fly through the green light, but it's just a part of life.

Even when you are sitting at a red light, it's important to know that the light could change to green at any time. I know so many people, myself included, that get so down when life doesn't seem to be going their way, but it's so important to remember that that could change.

The light may be yellow; and maybe that means you have some important decisions to make before things can slow down and stop or go back to full speed ahead. I just think it's a really cool analogy for life and how goals and aspirations can change.

Where is your traffic signal at right now? I feel like for most people my age it's probably at the green, like mine, but I would like to know what you think and why you may have a yellow or red light.

I'm a big fan of doing quintessential seasonal things during their respective seasons. For example, it never feels like winter unless I go sledding or make a snowman. In summer, I have to go swimming at least a few times. There are just certain activities that make those seasons for me!

So I've realized over the past few months of having this blog, and trying to think of ideas and failing, that maybe I should try something different.

I write for a living. It's hard for me to spend my entire day writing and editing, and then in my free time to come up with more ideas for writing. Don't get me wrong, I love blogs and blogging, but I think a different direction will be good.

I'm a huge fan of lists. I'm fascinated by to-do lists, bucket lists, and other lists used to organize your life or goals. At any point in time, I probably have about five different lists going, whether it be a seasonal to-do list, a to-read list, a to-watch list, or something else you can think of.

Since I already make lists a part of my life, I figured why not write about that? Often, I'll make it a goal of mine to do something fun or to try something new, and so writing about it will allow me to document memories and also share with you guys my goals and life.

Also, I'd love love love if others shared their own lists or goals, because I find it so interesting to see how other people organize. Hopefully anyone who reads this will find it a good idea, and hopefully I will update a little more with this! :)
