It's Rainy and this Blog is an Elaborate Procrastination Technique

Today I stumbled across my old blogs that range from 2008 to 2016.

Let me tell you, the range of emotion is a LOT more monumental than the range of time.

I have been through funny phases, depressed phases, frustrated phases, lonely phases, broken phases.....

After reading these posts I can honestly say that I CHERISH each and every moment that I recorded. There are so many things I'd forgotten. Some people would be embarrassed about the ravings of their more immature selves, but actually, I feel a fondness for that version of me, and I appreciate her.

I have gained a lot in maturity, even since 2017, but when I read the words of my past self, I also feel like I have lost a lot from other areas.

I CHOOSE my words so much more carefully now, and in terms of entertainment value, it's not NEARLY as juicy. 

Which brings me to now. I want to record my life again. And I want it to be fun. And I'm going to be freer with words again.......I hope....but maybe wisely freer.

So here are the ground rules:

1. I will not call people by their real names (except myself and the cat).
2. I will be honest with my feelings.
3. That's it.

And a little intro to myself:

• I am Minnie (32), currently work in Administration and Graphic Design. LOVE the GD bit, not so convinced about admin 😷. Disclaimer: I think admin is a useful skill to have though.
• Dream: Would love to either have my own design business one day or be a freelance illustrator. Got my first gig to make illustrations for a business's website just a few days ago, so pretty stoked about that.
• Fun fact: I enjoy Sci-fi just like all the other girls. Currently reading "Jurassic Park" by Michael Crighton - WHAT.A.LARK
• Pets: Love dogs, but have a cat 🐈. Her name is Poppy and she is a wretch.
• Life in general: I'm currently in a weird limbo point of life, or rather, life has crashed about my ears like a falling sky and I'm figuring out how to rebuild. I'm sure I will go into more detail about this in the future. I'm living on my own for the first time in - EVER - so that's new.
• Relationship status: s I n G L e - and am truly happy with that situation, despite the fact that society's constructs dictate that I should be dissatisfied and mortified. (I only think it worth writing about here cos it's a juicy subject LAWL)

I think that will do for now, I want this blog to be a place for me to write about my life and my art journey, and how I REALLY feel about EVERYTHING.

Will write soon.
