Hello lovelies.
Some back story: I have two beautiful children, fulltime. Formerly married and happily divorced, I'm living with roommates (family) in a house they own, and I've been dating a sweet fellow for a little over two years. I crochet...this month marks year 6 of those shenanigans. I'm in college for Environmental Biology, and I just finished my first semester after a 6 year hiatus. I was a stay-at-home mom for years, and after my divorce, I'm trying to get my life in order.
A few discoveries I made along my adult journey:
- I am polyamorous.
- I am not good at committing to projects/goals, but I'm working on it!
- I love yoga, though I am very much a beginner at this point, and I haven't practiced in months. :P Getting back into it is a goal of mine for the new year.
- I have a strong addiction to sugar and my phone, both of which I intend to curb/kick.
- Being a full-fledged adult (for the first time in my life) with two kids hasn't been very easy!
- I now struggle with mild anxiety. Being sheltered for the greater part of my existence didn't quite prepare me for life, or its worst pitfalls. Like divorce/emotional abuse/my entire life being completely rerouted. :P But I'm doing my best!
- I am an atheist, happily.
- I am pansexual and demisexual. I don't really need more sexual identifiers than that, as even this seems excessive to me...I'm just me. But these discoveries were important, nonetheless.
- Being a single mom is hard, but a bitch can do her stuff and recognize how awesome she is at it. That bitch being me.
- I like makeup, it turns out, and I'm developing some sense of style for once. Sort of.
- Also, Goodwill is great.
- I've happily come to terms with my body hair, and I choose to let my fuzzy flag fly. I'm a grown ass woman with little kids and big responsibilities...body hair is one less thing I have to worry about, and that's just fine with me. :P
- I have become pretty environmentally conscious (obviously, given my college major), and I've got a lot of life goals centered around it. Tiny house living, sustainable agriculture practices and homemade goods, ideally a waste-free home, are all on the docket. Also, I want to get the heck out of dodge. I don't particularly fit well in the southern U.S., what with being a dirty hippie and all.
Perhaps it sounds hokey (it does), but I started a New Year's juicing fast. Nothing but water and homemade juices for about 7 days. I'm hoping it'll reset some cravings, give me iron willpower, and get me on the path to better eating (for real this time).

I decided I needed dreadlocks in my life, and I only began my journey about a week and a half ago. I'm excited about it. For me, they symbolize patience, nontraditional beauty, strength and willpower, and maybe a bit of stickin' it to the man. Which I totally never, ever do. I'm debating on whether or not to start a YouTube channel devoted to my dreadlock journey...I think this bitch gonna try it out. Stick around...something interesting is bound to happen this year.
