Hola mamacitas - and the odd chico

The irony of an online blog for someone who finds joy in.. not being online

Small talk is the death of me, but I enjoy engaging in meaningful conversation and anything that piques my interest. I have a multitude of lingering thoughts and nowhere to put them, and my verbal diarrhoea diary isn't cutting it unfortunately.

This, in and of itself should probably be a reason not to post anything, but we'll see how it goes

I wanted a creative outlet centred around personal expression while connecting with others organically based on my interests; growth, spirituality and the arts to name a few. My life is a yo-yo of side quests and I love it. I believe we should always be students at every stage of life. It broadens our horizons and allows us to not only meet new and interesting people, but also evolve through new ideas, mindsets and experiences.

A wise person once said,

What is life but to experience joy in new and exciting endeavours.. even if you fall flat on the first try

[said wise person is moi]

Joke's aside - that's the beauty of it, the experiences are what make life worth living, the experiences are where growth happens. People take themselves waay too seriously. We're so concerned with the next trend, the hottest thing on the market, being seen in a certain light, instant gratification [in all its forms] and rarely stop to think - am I genuinely enjoying myself in this space or do I need to be validated, liked and lauded? Distractions after distractions, intended to distance us from who we are at our core.

❌ CHILL OUT GUYS ❌

Book that random class you've been putting off, because you're interested in it and meet new people along the way!

• I'm consistently involved in the arts, but there are random things that I'd love to try out simply because they seem fun - like blacksmithing ⚔️ or drumming 🥁
• I love being outdoors/moving my body and I can't wait to go to disco roller skating - to fall, laugh and get up again, and then.. never do it again 💃
• I love learning and I've planned a whole curriculum for myself this year. I plan on reading/watching/learning about holistic living, the Vikings, Mongols and deepen my understanding on Islamic and South Asian history, all while relearning Spanish! 🇪🇸

Some people may call this ADHD, I just call it yolo. The world is your oyster bro 🕶️

You always say you want to experience things but I don’t think you actually want to experience things because you would experience it if you wanted to experience things

Each new experience moulds us into a more harmonised, open minded individual and forces growth where otherwise we'd be stagnant. It allows us to tune into parts of ourselves once undiscovered; our strengths, interests and even shortcomings. Once we know [and respect] ourselves, we'll easily walk away from what doesn't align with us, swiftly and with integrity. Throwing unnecessary obligations placed on ourselves out the window and leaving space for meaningful ventures, connections and experiences. Who has time for the rest? I know I don't. Often times I don't even have time for what I want to do.

Although this blog is just for fun, it's also a space for me to share thought pieces based on personal experiences inspiring others to not only reflect on life lessons and growth - but also get out there, get off our lazy ass devices and try new things, especially if it means doing it alone [which is often times more fun]. Acting on reflection and curiosity is truly one of the biggest indicators of growth in my opinion. And doing things confidently alone shows a strong sense of self <3

Join me on this weird and wonderful journey of being proper out there innit, publicly, unabashedly, forcefully. I hate being seen, this feels like self harm
