Since the last time I posted on here, so much has happened. I've graduated, started and finished my first graduate job, and I've now decided to jump back into university life to complete my Masters. I've met new people – as you do – and some have left my life almost as quickly as they came into it. Last time we were here, the world was slowly emerging from the pandemic (which, by the way, seems like years ago - does anyone else feel like they skipped the past 4 years?), and I felt like a deer in headlights.
So much has happened, but for some reason I never really documented any of it? I guess, at the risk of sounding corny, that life sort of...passed me by? And I guess I was worried that the everyday musings of my life became rather uninteresting? After all, it can be difficult to glamourise postgrad life and the 9-5 working day.
But I've missed writing on here - this space was my safe haven for such a long time; it actually feels quite nostalgic to be on here again. I miss writing about things without worrying about grades and feedback, it's so freeing. And I'm trying to reframe my perspective on chatting about the seemingly mundane, and remember why I originally started this blog; as a creative outlet.
With that being said, I'm not entirely sure what the content of these posts will be, and I don't really have much of a plan. I think I used to feel pressured (self-imposed, obviously) to get a certain number of posts churned out every month, each one refined and entirely different to the last. This time round, I want to see this space as more of a digital diary of sorts, dropping in whenever I get the chance. To put it briefly: I'm trying to let go of the perfectionism, which is harder than it sounds!
So, from me to you: welcome back. Whether you've been here since the start, 2015 or this is your first time here, thank you wholeheartedly for reading – let's pick up where we left off (and I promise to not leave it three years again!)
Lots of love,
