Hi there, and welcome to my blog! My name is Emma, and I’m so excited you’ve decided to join me on the start of my writing journey. I have no background in blogging, but I hope to have fun and nurture my creativity while writing about things that I enjoy reading, watching, and doing.
At the beginning of 2025, I made my New Years’ resolutions. I know what you’re thinking – who even sticks with those? But, I was determined. I wanted to study Korean, Vietnamese, and Spanish. I finally wanted to find an exercise routine I could stick to and enjoy. And I wanted to cultivate a practice of meditation that would help me become more mindful in this crazy world.
Guess what happened?
I found myself at the end of March, most of my resolutions abandoned. Shocker, I know.
I was stuck in the same routine as I had been for the past 2 years: Wake up, go to work, come home, eat, watch TV or read, sleep, and repeat. The only hobbies I had (and still currently have) are watching TV and reading. While there’s nothing wrong with these things, I personally don’t find them very fulfilling.
That’s where this blog comes in.
I’ve always been one to need accountability. So I figured, why not set up a blog? This way, I can cultivate a hobby (blogging) while incorporating things I already enjoy doing (watching TV and reading). Additionally, I feel that blogging about my experience trying to cultivate other hobbies that I’m interested in (language learning, meditation, journaling, gardening) will help me stick with these hobbies.
Because of the nature of this blog as being about anything and everything I’m currently interested in or want to become interested in, this blog is going to feature a lot of different things.
So far, I plan to feature:
- Book reviews
- Book recommendation lists
- Movie reviews
- TV Show discussions
- Discussions about self care
- Discussions about other hobbies I’m trying
- Discussions about productivity….
And everything in between!
So, please make yourself at home, and have fun reading about every single thought that comes across my lizard brain. Again, welcome to my blog!
