So last year didn’t exactly go the way I started 2021 believing it would go. I didn’t have any major setbacks or anything crazy happen. But like most I have found that I am on the edge of burn out. This is an effort to relieve a bit of the nagging, stuck feeling, the covid fatigue, the empty that has seemed to set in. We all keep saying that we want to get back to normal but what does that mean for the world we live in now, post pandemic? I am going to use this as a way to get back to me, to find things I that make me happy even if I have to leave my house wearing the dreaded mask.
The page is called The Distracted Damsel. It really does describe me. Not to imply that I am in need of a hero to come rescue me but hey would it hurt? Joking. Damsel is a young unmarried woman. Well I am not exactly young (soon to be 35 years young) but I am currently unattached. I can go where I want, see what I want. Experience new, weird, exciting things. I can have any adventure. And, that being said, most days I wake up and want to be anywhere new, learning something different. Constantly distracted by Instagram post for new food, or new artists. What’s the new book to read? Etc etc.
I am hoping that there are others out there like me who don’t know exactly which country they want to visit. Currently debating between Norway and Italy. Or maybe have a big birthday coming up and cant decide between a fancy girls night out or trip to Orlando Wizarding World. Do I buy the artwork I see and like or do I get out the paint and create my own because it’s a happy fun time just for me? Do you keep the steady job or do you cash out and try something totally new?
These are all things I am using this blog to find out about me and for me. I have no specific plan or outline as to content. It will be whatever moves me that day/week. I can only share my experiences. Starting a new year off with a new blog. This is new and I will see where things lead.
