Building Better Habits
Monday, October 5th

I've decided to stop hunting for things to make my life worth noticing. I guess I have a sort of obsession with being recognized for my art or singing or whatever, but I always rely on this exterior motivation in order to have confidence in myself.
And truthfully, I've thought about the whole 'make your life better and build healthy habits' thing before, but it just seemed so arbitrary until I came to college. Here, I'm not stuck being the weird girl or the fix-it girl, I can just be Cate. And I think I need to focus more on who I want Cate to be rather than what the world thinks of her.
Anyway, in doing so, I worked out a little too hard yesterday and now I'm sore, but I suppose I'll live. I'm also working on getting my life more organized through regular schedules. I know it's weird to make a rhythm for yourself halfway through the semester, but it's one of those things where, if I don't work on myself like this now, I'm worried I won't find that flow in my life that means so much to me.
