Furiously Bri

Hello! I know it’s been a long time since I said I would be writing again, but life got busy. I got a job! I’ve been working and adulting and attempting to work on my mental health so things just felt overwhelming and I couldn’t figure out how to squeeze this in for a while.

I think my goals for this year is to try to write here more, especially in terms of my mental health experience, as I’ve been diagnosed with OCD and have been trying to navigate that among feelings from trauma. I also have been trying to navigate how to talk about my feelings of said traumas without going into deep detail for now, because some of it I’m not ready to make public. However, I think the feelings themselves would be helpful to share for those who resonate with them and would want to feel less alone because at the end of the day, we have different traumas but I feel the emotions we experience are at least very similar.

I also want to document new experiences this year. I want to document things that would excite me. I want to take up classes that include physical activity that would relieve stress. I want to talk about the books I’ve been listening to at work and what I think about them. I want to start doing coloring books or drawings again and share whatever I do that day. I want to feel more rounded again, because I feel like I’ve just been roaming through life doing the things I need to do and not doing enough of what I want to do. I’d like to get back into posting on instagram my 5 Things I’m Grateful For more often, maybe even daily. Finally, I want to keep sharing food with you. I love finding great recipes and making new favorite dishes that just adds a nice change to the weekly menu.

I can’t guarantee this means you’ll see me weekly, but that’s the current goal I have. I’d really like to write once a week and post on my instagram daily, regardless of topic. Whether I’m just enjoying my makeup that day, I heard something from a podcast that I really liked, found a quote I resonated with, ate something delicious, you name it. I want to just share the little things that made my day better, because sometimes those are the parts that count the most.

Anyway, I hope this was at least an interesting read of ideas and aspirations. Sorry for the absence, but I genuinely feel like I should be able to write a tad more now!

Happy New Year, stay healthy and find a reason to wake up every single morning because you matter! ✨
