And by “me” I mean my blog. I almost forgot it’s been a year today that I’d started this thing! I never thought I would keep up with it for this long, but here I am, celebrating (and by celebrating, I mean watching all the latest Archer episodes in one sitting). Is it weird to celebrate the birthday (I guess it’s an anniversary? Blogiversary??) of a thing? Hm. Anyway.I’ve learned a ton and have been through so much personally over these past twelve months. I may not have shared much of those troubles here, but I actually started this blog in the middle of an intensely stressful work situation, a death in the family and to top it all off a truly horrible breakup with someone whom, to be honest, I thought was in it with me for the long haul.
That being said, having Hello Carbar as a creative outlet when times were tough with work, family or stupid boy situations was truly a godsend, and I like to think it played a part in how much more confident I’m feeling about myself today.
By making some time to write posts to get my mind off life in general, I’ve had a lot of fun, met some cool people, and was able to find a surprising amount of things that make me happy despite (or in spite of) my struggles. Of course, things eventually started looking up and I think that might be part of the reason why I haven’t made a “things that make me happy” post in a while. I’m feeling pretty good these days. 🙂
I’m still not 100% sure where this blog will go in the future or what I want to focus on… although… right now all signs are pointing to travel (with, like, BIG flashing marquee lights). Anyhoo. One thing is certain — I’m looking forward to whatever it is!
