I want to write!

I want to write in my own personal style using my thoughts and questions to inspire my direction and purpose.

I can’t believe how clear I am on this, considering how much I love spending time on this website. I’ve been working on this site for a few years now. It’s not gone anywhere and no one has looked at it but I don’t care. I heard career advice that I loved recently which was,

“Choose something you love doing and then find a way to make money doing it.”

Right now, it’s definitely a hobby. I want to use my love of site curation with my love of writing to create something to help me develop into the person I’d admire and to possibly inspire others as well.

How could I not realize this? One of my earliest memories is sitting under the stairs in my parents basement writing the cursive letter for “e” over and over. I loved everything about it. The look, and the feeling of peace it brought over me. I remember feeling excited to learn how to do it “for real.”

I also asked for a typewriter for Xmas one year. I remember saying I wanted to be a writer but I also wonder if I just liked the sound of the clicks when you typed.

I remember wanting to write kids stories and my first idea was to write a story about ducks and squirrels fighting over a bird feeder (inspired by real events)….maybe I’ll write it.

I’ve been journalling since I could write but I had no idea I could turn my hobby into a side hustle and possibly a new career.

I still don’t know what my direction is going to be with writing but for now I’m feeling pretty set on documenting my weight loss journey and finding the best me inside. A better version of who I already am. I can’t wait to see what she looks like and how this writing process will unfold.

I’m looking forward to watch me grow throughout this process.
