starlitshoreThere are several memes bouncing around Tumblr about the implausible length of the year 2018 - what are the chances we've fallen into a black hole or liminal space without realising it? - and as per there are several Deep responses putting it down to how inundated we are with trends and media. I'm on board with the media thing, but my money is on black hole. Either way, I'm more than ready for 2018 to be over.
But never fear! I'm not one to focus on reductive thinking and though we still have December to go, I've already left 2018 behind.
Instead, my focus is on being as positive as possible. (Why wait until New Year, right?)
In October I left my job in London and moved back to Ontario. I'm still trying to find my feet and it's admittedly slow going. #MillennialProblems Right now I'm working hard to find a job (I'm a teacher) which will eventually dictate where I live, and in the meantime I'm trying to figure out how to fill my free time in a very small town. (Difficult when you've been living in one of the busiest cities in the world!)
The big thing to know about me is that I do NOT do well without purpose, and relying on other people - even my family - does not compute. My anxiety goes through the roof when I'm not self-sufficient and busy.
Therefore, my plan is to throw myself back into writing and creating, my health, and my hobbies. I've been a vegetarian for 13 years, partially due to health issues, and this year I found out that I'm gluten intolerant, too. Awesome, right? Since I need to figure that out and will be experimenting with a lot of recipes, I'll likely share things about that here. I'd also really like to do my yoga teacher training this year and encouragement to get up off my butt and do it would be welcome!
If this all goes to plan, you're likely find a lot of links and reviews here. I'll try to categorize them into fandom things, political things, random things that make me laugh, etc. I will post a lot about the stuff I'm reading and watching and wearing and listening to.
I know DW doesn't have a tag filtering feature, but I'll do my best to respect your reading list and use cuts and tags so that you know what to expect and can scroll past if you want.
I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with my fandoms and meeting new friends, so please feel free to subscribe, message me, reply to my posts, invite me to communities, etc!
