Millennial Mom, Wife, & Woman

People probably wonder…why would you start a blog without any sense of what you’re going to write about? To be honest, I’m not sure. Writing has always been something that I have enjoyed doing since I was a little girl and something I have always turned to in my free time. I used to have those secret journals and diaries that had locks on them which is what initially got me excited about writing. I think what I liked about was that I could write anything, and realistically, no one else should ever see it. When I was young, I thrived on that. I liked to write and draw, but did I want anyone to see it? Absolutely not. Well, until high school when my mom found a notebook that my friend and I wrote notes back and forth to each other on. Very private notes. That was a disaster. But that’s a story for another time.

Now that I’m older and have a little bit more confidence in my writing abilities, I figured a blog could be the perfect outlet for me. Journaling as an adult is HARD. I’ve always been told by counselors, therapists, friends, self-help books journal Journal JOURNAL. It’s a healthy coping mechanism for everyday life. Well, when I try to journal now like I used to, my brain works faster than my hand and I just can’t manage to get my words down on paper the way that I have in my mind. Then, I realized I could just “journal” on the computer in the form of a blog. Although this is more public, I don’t anticipate people being at all interested in what I have to say. However, I can type much faster than I can write and by doing this I’m able to do something positive for my mental health on a platform that I prefer.

Anyways, here I am blogging away. Writing about nothing special. But, I do feel like I have a lot to say about a lot of different things and maybe this is the place to say it.

My goal, starting today…July 31st, 2025…is to make at least one blog post every week for the next 52 weeks. Can I do it? Sure. But will I do it? That’s another question. I’m challenging myself to this because this is something I can do for myself, even during the busy weeks. I can find an hour to write a blog post if I really want to. So here it goes. This is post #1. Wish me luck.
