re-set











Hello and welcome to my new blog! Allow myself to introduce...myself. 

 My name is LC. Three years ago, I made the most significant (and probably the best) decision of my life to go South Korea to teach English for one year. I concluded my 12 month teaching gig with a backpacking trip through India and Southeast Asia. My goal was to take a risk, see the world, and live life to the absolute fullest. I wrote a blog about that incredible experience, which can be found here. 

Fast forward three years, 13 countries, and 4 jobs later, I've realized that I've become a jaded New York who has lost her passion and fight for life. About a year ago I landed an awesome job which I love, but I've slowly become crippled by my fears. Fear that I won't succeed, fear that I won't find love, fear that this is as good as it will get. And all of that fear is creating negative thoughts which are producing a negative life. 

 This blog will be my personal journey to take control and get out and live life to the fullest. My goals will be to: 

1) Think positively 
2) Face my fears & take responsibility for my problems
3) Live out my passions to get more out of life 

Expect to see a mix of motivational quotes and thoughts; learnings from self-help books and buddhism; new adventures involving my passions for travel, exercise, art & design, and New York.
