about me

I enjoy reading “about” pages, generally speaking. It’s actually the first page on a website that I gravitate towards to see how someone would choose to describe themself in a few feeble paragraphs. But when it came to writing my own, I found myself staring at the screen, a bit baffled. The instruction of the task – write a bit about yourself – was straightforward and shouldn’t have been off-putting but, unfortunately, I overcomplicated it.

Do I talk about my passions? How about my personality? My motherhood journey? My upbringing? A mix of all four sounded good until I tried writing about them. I was thrown off by a few things, for starters, the answer to every question required detail – detail that would feel fraudulent to leave out. My perspective on the answers also changes depending on the day and my mood – maybe a cause for concern – but nevertheless it’s the truth. So in the spirit of not lying, I decided to give a slice of insight as to how my inconsistent brain works rather than fumbling around about my life story.
