So when I was writing my A-Z one year later post I realized I've only really talked about Salem in a Diary Entry. I've never made him his own post. So please read on if you want a flood of kitten photos and fluffy cutesy nicknames.
I can't believe that it's been over a year since I started my A-Z series. I've been having so much fun with these posts. Christmas and Halloween and characters! It's been really interesting to see what words I come up with. I"m a firm believer that people are in a constant state of change. We aren't the same person we were 5 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago and maybe even a month ago. So today I thought it'd be fun to do another A-Z and then look back on my first post and see what's changed.
It's been 3 months since my last diary entry. It doesn't feel that long and at the same time it feels longer. I honestly think working in the house all day doing the same thing all the time has really taken a toll on my time awareness.
Over the last few months, my depression has been getting the best of me. I was crying at Pizza commercials, damn you celiac!, I was sleeping a normal amount to a little bit more but I was still always tired. I recently started going to the doctor regularly because I was also losing fights with my allergies. I talked to about being tired and she asked about anxiety and depression, both are boxes I tick.
A couple of weeks ago I was watching Evan Edinger's newest video, School Games! American VS British with Harmony Nice. I really liked Harmony in the video so I went over to her channel. I watched a few videos then found her videos about Wicca. I'd heard of Wiccans a few times in TV and movies but I'd never learned about real Wiccans. Harmony's videos were so interesting. I started binging her Wicca videos and was drawn to it instantly. The more I watched, the more I wanted to become a Wiccan.
Yesterday was my 21st birthday. Growing up you always expect to feel different on the big birthdays. But I'm still the same person I was on the 5th of February that I was on my birthday and that I am today. But I'm a "real adult" now. In the eyes of American law, I can do anything now. Well except rent a car. Gotta be 2 for that.
I've always been artistic in some way or another. I loved colouring books and being as real to the real colours as I could. I wanted the biggest box of crayons I could find. I've always doodled since I was a kid. I doodled hearts and animals. I used to love drawing the front of our house in great detail. And in middle school, I made splatter paintings in art class every chance I got.
In 2017 I decided to start writing about whatever I wanted. I didn't want to limit myself to just makeup. Makeup was a passion of mine for sure, but it wasn't all I wanted to write about. I actually started to lose passion for it. So I had to sprinkle in some more stuff.
January is upon us and winter is closing in. They are calling for snow here next week. And it’s supposed to be bad. So I’m getting into the winter spirit with a Winter A-Z! If you haven’t read one of my A-Z posts before these are posts when I list out the first word or words that come to mind for each letter. I’ve done a bunch of categories so far. Like Christmas, Halloween, About Me, Characters, Harry Potter, and TV Shows.
Hello 2019! Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe 2018 has already come and gone! It was a bit of an on/off year for me. I had a really slow blogging year and my procrastination was at it's highest. I'm so excited for a new year of content! I've worked out a new schedule and I'm so excited to focus on blogging again.
2018 was a bit of a rough year for me. I found it really hard to find the want to write. Even when I had something I wanted to write I just couldn't muster up enough energy to do it. Finding a balance has been a big problem for me in 2018. I opened my Etsy shop and my blog kind of took a back burner.
Merry Christmas guys! I can't believe it's already Christmas! 2018 has gone but in a flash hasn't it? I didn't have the best blogging year but Blogmas last year drained me. I've written up a work schedule to balance blogging and Etsy next year. I'm really excited to get back to posting regularly.
