i entertain myself.

I’ve started a new blog, and here’s why:

I made a major life change this year by leaving my career/friends/family in New York and moving to Philadelphia to find love/peace/new friends.  I think I came into the situation with an overblown sense of confidence, because I very quickly was knocked off my high horse—the boyfriend I moved in with was relocated to Texas for work 6 weeks after I moved in, I’ve had alot of trouble finding fulfilling work, and I lost my health insurance.  I’m coming out the other end now, and the only piece that still seems to be unresolved is the job piece.  But instead of letting a job define how I feel about myself, I’ve decided to focus on just enjoying my life.

The goal of The Hilary Project is to challenge myself to try something new each week, whether its through volunteer opportunities, internships, favors, or just pushing myself to do something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time and for whatever reason haven’t been able to do.  I think spending more time loving life and less time worrying about the future will teach me how to be a better person, friend, girlfriend, daughter, sister, and coworker.

Let me know what you think!  Have any suggestions for me?  Send me an email at thehilaryproject@gmail.com
