When I was little I used to think that being an adult was easy and when I was learning new things I remember thinking ‘I will never remember *enter thing here*. Then after awhile of doing *enter new thing* i.e riding a bike, using a sewing machine, learning how to use the cash register at Kmart, learning how to weigh things on a scale when I worked at that deli, you get the point…..
Even typing those things it feels a bit ridiculous to even be thinking there was a time when ‘those kinds of things’ were hard.
Fast forward to now….I am an adult. I am in charge of myself….I am capable and smart….er….than I was as a child….but there is doubt.
In today’s world we are hyper plugged in. Or so we think….are we *really* plugged in? Plugged in to what? Where is our position, our place amongst this vast ocean of ‘modern connectivity’?
Life goes along. I got married in 2004 and have had 10 children and kept everyone alive and it is now 2020.
FYI doing math that quickly points out that you are old at this hour of the morning isn’t always uplifting.
ANYHOW…..I feel like something changed this year. I think I was (is?)…..am ready for change. Or rather, ready to join in.
So I started making changes. I started walking every day. Heck, there was even a time where I did that Playstation 4 VR game ‘Beat Saber’ for 100 days in a row. I started to cut down on the junk food I was consuming. One Dr. Pepper a day instead of two. You know, HUGE changes haha! I tried to drink more water, I got into herbal teas (that’s a lie, but I did try for a few…cups).
Then I upped the anti! Sometimes I run on my ‘walks’, I eat a Keto diet (way of eating), I long ago said goodbye to Dr. Pepper (even though I still love the flavour)….I actually started to properly try to do my youtube channel…..I made changes! Not all at once though!
Little by little, step by step, towards a goal. A goal that I wasn’t entirely sure of but I stepped forward anyhow.
I grew up. I am an adult but I feel *kind like a baby….a baby, taking baby steps, harnessing my emotions and taking a chance on an unknown kid. That kid….is me.
Do you have any goals? What kinds of things are you aiming for? I’d REALLY like to be proficient at driving a manual car already but I am still……’in the learning’.
*If you want to check out my youtube channel where I share my journey of learning how to drive a manual (and living life with 11 other people who share my DNA) I will link it below.
Go well, friends. Go well.

I hope that works…..’being technical’ is next on my ‘learn list’.
