One of the (many) reasons I haven’t written anything recently, is that I moved! Well, that’s the tldr reason. The subheadings would look something like this:
I moved! To San Francisco!
- Started a new job
- Got new roommates
- Set up a household
- Made a few new friends
- Learned the bare minimum about a new city
Yeah, it’s been a crazy few months. But I’m back now and I’ve been thinking a lot, actually, about where I want this project to go. I feel like I have learned SO much in the last two months — about living in the city, about myself, about working in an office, about cooking, about everything. (More about work & stuff later, promise.)
I know that blogs usually have something to offer, something to teach, and I feel like I’m so not qualified to be giving life advice. BUT, I can absolutely tell you the things I’ve learned (usually the hard way), and maybe it’ll be just a little bit useful.
Being in quarantine, especially in a new city, has been weird and has me craving the kind of connection-with-strangers that I’m definitely not allowed to have right now. So here I am, just trying to connect with other baby-adults who are figuring it out one day at a time. I’m going to be honest, my need for attention has really been at war with my fear of judgment since the beginning of this project, but now more than ever the opportunity to connect with people in ANY way feels worth it.
Plus, I want to be able to look back on this site 20 years from now and trace my formative years (hello future Grace! Hope the world hasn’t burned up and you can afford to own property!). I’m sure I’ll be laughing at myself. So, if you’re into honesty & human foibles, please follow along. I can promise eclectic fashion, occasional musical projects, complaints about fog, and big deals made out of small triumphs…. Etc.
As always, thank you so much for being here. Let’s do this!
xoxo,
