Get to know me by finding out what I’m currently up to! I’ve been running this blog since 2018 and the traffic has been growing slowly but surely over the years. There are new people being introduced to my blog on a daily basis, and I hope you all enjoy the content that I create!
Due to this, I thought it would be nice to provide you, my darling reader, with a little glimpse of my life and persona. That way you can better understand who exactly is behind it all abusing this keyboard.
So, I decided to start writing a series of revealing posts, bringing to the front stage things about me that many people don’t know. So far I’ve spilled the beans on
- Things I Haven’t Done That Most People Have,
- Behind The Scenes – Failed Fashion Shots,
- 10 Things That People Don’t Know About Me, and
- 15 Observation On What It’s Like Being 30.
Here’s a little glimpse on the 25 things that I am currently doing.
25 x Currently I Am…
1. Reading
Simon Sebag Montefiore’s Romanovs. Yeah, jumping into the deep end! For those who don’t know, the Romanovs were the imperial family of Russia who ruled between 1613 and 1918. The imperial family that ended with the famous Anastasia legends (which have all been proven false). With everything going on with that bizarre country today, I want to acquaint myself with its history to be able to decipher it better.
2. Playing
Hard to get. Nah, I’m not actually playing it, I am bloody hard to get!
3. Watching
Downton Abbey on repeat on Disney+. I’m thinking of instead subscribing to BritBox because in addition to Downton Abbey they also have Hercule Poirot! As TV and movies are going through enshittification among everything else, I’d rather watch the highest quality series on repeat than pollute my brain with anything less worthy. In movies the equivalent is Lord of the Rings (obviously!)
4. Trying
to stay hopeful and, if not optimistic, at least proactive while the world burns around us and old imbecile “men” equip AI to kill us all at random.
5. Cooking
crepes! After traveling for the winter months and living in AirBnBs with limited cooking equipment it’s such a joy to have my own kitchen back. So, now I’m focused on cooking all of my favourites, like halloumi pasta, cheese muffins and lasagna.
6. Drinking
tea. So much tea! My dear friend, Monika, introduced me to a Swedish tea shop and they have the most addictive high quality teas I’ve ever tasted.
7. Eating
lentil stew. When I cook I tend to batch cook which then means I eat the same thing for 3-4 days in a row. I only cook my favourite things so this is not an issue for me.
8. Calling
I don’t call people. And if someone calls me (who isn’t mum), I panic. Who’s dead?? is the first thing that pops to mind. And that thought makes me question whether I should bother answering the phone at all… Might be better not to.
9. Texting
is the only valid option in my opinion. Surely there can’t be anything so urgent that it requires calling?
10. Pinning
nothing actually, my blog does that automatically. For those who are confused, this was about Pinterest. It was a big thing when I started this blog. I guess it’s still relevant, I just haven’t paid attention…
11. Doing
really well, thank you very much for asking.
12. Going
for a long afternoon walk by the sea! If you wish to get to know me, then all you really need to understand is that the sea is essential. And mountains!
13. Loving
sunshine! Mum used to say that if we lived in a country that was always sunny we’d get bored of it. Well, I have lived long enough to say that this is not the case! I only function on solar power, so in addition to the sea, Sun is also essential.
14. Hating
all the old, incompetent “men” that are destroying this only planet we have.
15. Discovering
winter holiday plans. I’ve written about the possibility of doing things differently and spending a holiday volunteering in Africa instead of going for a basic beach holiday. But with the world the way it is, I think I’d rather stay in Europe for now.
16. Enjoying
the freedom that entrepreneurship has gifted me! All I ever wanted was freedom. Freedom from being told what to do, monitored while doing it and required to be in the same place every day for 8 hours a day. What a waste of a life!
17. Thinking
about what I’m going to eat next. Always!
18. Feeling
chill. Things are okay at the moment. The world is on fire but I got a roof over my head, fridge full of food and a family and friends that most people would envy! #lifeisgood
19. Hoping
to receive knowledge of the castle and its location asap. The castle that I have been destined to have since the day I was born. To get to know me you must accept that in my world nothing is impossible.
20. Listening
to some chill LoFi playlist on Youtube. I always need to have music when I’m working, cooking, cleaning, existing.
21. Celebrating
life. Every day! Tacky? Yes, probably, but I don’t care.
22. Considering
a career change. Copywriting is an industry that is being taken over by AI, even if it can’t do it the way humans can. But instead of wallowing in the grim circumstances we must move or die. And that’s where my castle comes in!
23. Thanking
the fact that I am healthy and well. With people around me facing all sorts of health issues, big and small, it’s really put things into perspective for me. As if life wasn’t hard enough already, do so many really need to deal with mental and physical issues too?
24. Finishing
a blog post I haven’t even started yet. Well, I got a draft ready, just need to ‘write it out’. Just! Easier said than done, as my writer peeps know.
25. Starting
a revolution! Maybe not straight away. But I don’t see why I wouldn’t end up being the one who really changes the course of things. It wouldn’t be the first time! I have incited an entire team to withdraw their work efforts from a global IT giant because our salaries were late. No money, no work! That’s exactly what everyone everywhere around the world needs to do now. Yes, it’s THAT simple.
And there we have it! If you want to get to know me even further, TikTok might be the best channel for that.
