First and foremost

First blog hey. Isn’t this exciting huh?!

Actually it’s bloody terrifying. 1. What if no one reads it? (instant fear - my poor defenseless little blog out in the wilderness, fighting a lone battle) Or 2. People reading it, hating it, not relating AT ALL to it and well = failure.

But if you are here reading this, thank you!

I guess a great place to start this would be what prompted my sudden burst into the blogging world.

It all started when I realized some ‘home truths’ as I like to call them, that I hadn’t even been honest with myself about. That is until one day, a friend of mine who was having a similar experience with the male species as I had, was trying to sort through the rubble, so to speak, and then, without realizing, I started explaining, in far too much detail how I had felt whilst experiencing this similar situation. This was a completely unbarred, honest depiction. Outlining every insecurity, every inch of hope and fear that I had. It was that moment, when she, literally yelled back that, that is exactly how she had been feeling.

That's I thought F**K it! I’m going to-do this. I’m going to say what I actually mean, what I actually feel and maybe you may even feel the same? Don’t get me wrong – this is not about to turn into a “burn the bra”, “I don’t need know man”, “men are a** holes” type blog. Sure there may be the occasional rant – but I’ll try and keep it on the DL. Moving on – you may be sitting there thinking who is this women, what does she want, what’s she all about? Well again, another reason for this blog, is to help me answer those questions. What I do know, and can tell you is this.

I’m a 20something female, navigating the ways of the world, one espresso martini at a time, who on a daily basis fights the battle to become a full-fledged career women, with the drive and desire to ‘Change the world’ (well the construction world, and really I’m only tackling that in Canberra, Australia) but small steps yeah? And well then there’s this nagging desire to chuck it all in, don some hemp clothing and backpack through the world, with nothing but the clothes on my back and possessions in my satchel.

Either way, and whatever I choose to-do I’m excited I’m on this sojourn.
