Oh yeah I have a blog....
I am a terrible blogger.
Sorry.
Last year, I had all the intention in the world to try and blog my adventures of living abroad in Paris. But I only really came away with thousands of photos and 10 extra kilos.
I don’t really have any good excuses for this, but here are some anyway:
• I spent a huge part of my year traveling to 10 countries. In which I spent a good amount of time in. When I would return to Paris I was usually exhausted (I know “poor thing”), when I finally felt rested, I was off again. This turned out to not be very sustainable for having a life in Paris. And although I do not regret my travels as I have had some life changing amazing moments, I do however regret not staying put in Paris longer than a month at a time.
• When back in Paris, if I wasn’t working (for work back home), I was working on my art, or at least attempting to. Due to this, my creative energy was usually spent by the time I would want to blog.
• Mental Health. I won’t go in to it, but I was struggling with my anxiety and mild depression. Honestly, I think the reason my anxiety and depression got to me, was partly due to: the traveling exhaustion mixed with mild homesickness, my PMDD and a tiny bit of isolation.
But this is something that is my everlasting battle and burden to bare.
I mainly kept this struggle to myself most of the time. The reason being is because when you tell people you are having a hard time, when you pretty much are on an amazing adventure with zero real world issues. They tend to make you feel like a shitty person because they would kill to switch places. I know of my privilege of this last year but tell that to the anxiety monster on my back.
Anywhoo this last year was amazing, but I am very ready to go home.
I also want to try and work on this site and blog better this year when I return home and settle back in to life. I am considering vlogging. That way you don’t have to see my horrible writing or grammar.
Currently I am in limbo in London, waiting 10 more days till I can fly home. I REALLLY hope I can get some sun before autumn kicks in. I really miss the warm sun on my skin.
