Just an Intro ...

So I have been single for a little over a year. Not because I don't want one but I know the enticing kinds of traps that can occur when you are in one. As comforting as it can be it also becomes addictive in the sense that you can't imagine how you were before you got into one. This in itself keeps you from thoughts of venturing into the beyond of possibilities.

Then one day you wake up and realize that you need to be on your own and as much as you are eager you realize that you're on your own. This is how I felt last year and you go through going out with the guys that you normally wouldn't just because you can. Of course for awhile it makes you feel very wanted and out there but somehow you may be yearning for something else even when you would rather not admit it.

So after struggling back and forth you get to the point where you can comfortably go out and date and you do not think of Mr X and then it hits you. You are in demand and as much as you attempt to lower that Mojo someone out there is interested in you. Maybe you even have two people that are so different but yet great for you that are out there what in the heck do you do?

This is how I feel right now. My name is Kimmie and I graduated about a year ago from college. I left my native Indiana and have moved to the east coast slightly outside of NYC (although I will be in the city soon - and I used to vacation here a lot so this is not completely a new experience) after breaking up with a great guy but realizing that maybe we were together for the wrong reason. I do a lot as far as work is concerned - I work in PR, do freelance visual merchandising, promote at some clubs and started my own magazine ( Sikara )online that is still being tweaked but is being received well.

So this past summer, I am getting into my new groove and enjoying everything that I had planned for the summer. I had someone that I was casually dating but since he was miles away we agreed that it would not be that serious. But one day I met him and he was just around the corner and my normal activities opened up. He allowed me to have fun and before long we were walking on relationship road. How this happened I don't know and to tell the story would fill this blog and really it wouldn't be that interesting. But all in all even when I attempted to fight it - I have begun to walk down this road. In a way it doesn't seem that scary and in other ways it does.

I really didn't have a direction for this blog I just wanted to introduce myself and see how this works. Expect to see these kinds of random items here and others. Many times I will write about relationships or what happens when I go out. This weekend should be great. I'm going out every night this weekend so there is bound to be some good things. I hope to get to know those who read this and read a lot of what is here :-).
