Why now?
So, why come back to social media now?
After COVID started, like everyone else, I struggled with the sudden change and reshaping of our entire lives.
I also struggled with losing everything that I hoped for from traveling. Not just the sight seeing and new experiences… I wanted something deeper.
What I was really looking was a way to figure out my priorities. At the time, I journaled that I had no idea what I really wanted to do with my life. I didn’t have a clear professional direction. I didn’t know who I wanted to date. I didn’t know if I wanted to have kids. I didn’t know where I wanted to live.
I was hoping to find some of those answers in my experiences. In meeting new people, in challenging myself, in broadening my horizons.
That’s what the travel meant to me. It meant exploring and finding myself as a person. And with that taken away, I got stuck.
In the intervening years, I’ve realized that I left a part of me back in New Zealand. My momentum was arrested in 2020 and I’ve been stuck there, not moving, not making progress.
I realize that motivation doesn’t come from inspiration—it comes from action.
So this year, I’m working on taking action.
One piece of that is being more open about what’s going on in my life and reconnecting with people.
So to that end, I’ve decided to come back to social media, to grow by sharing more of myself and connecting with what’s going on in your life.
