Concluding Details

For the future I plan on continuing to blog either on this blog or I'll put a link here for a new one. I've found a great value in blogging because not only is it to look back at in the future, but you learn more about your experiences when you think back and write openly about it. It cements the memory into your brain better even if you write a brief paragraph. I encourage you to open a blog personal or public even if you think your day was boring. Writing is great way to learn more about yourself and it opens a whole new realm of life.

I am currently working on a conclusion of what I learned and experienced from this vigorous journey so stay tuned!

Again, I want to thank you reader for keeping in touch with this journey. It was a big support seeing every view count and it gave a bigger purpose to keep on writing.
