Welcome to my Blue World!
Have you ever felt compelled to do something but you ignore it? Though, the more you ignore it, the stronger that compulsion gets? I have been doing that a lot lately. Especially with writing.
I am always told that I should write more. I am even asked for my next piece of my history or wisdom that I should be sharing. Yet, I ignore it. I have made so many excuses for myself. I am a mom of five boys aged 3-11. I have my sister and her two kids living with me. I am finishing my degree. I worked for a brief time. All of these excuses that have kept me from doing something I love, and something I know I should do.
Now, I am not great at it. I can whip out any academic writing assignment in a couple days (I've literally written papers for school in two days with very little editing and got all possible points on them), but personal writing is much more difficult. I have many more typing errors, especially since I write with emotion rather than intellect. I will sometimes make sense to myself but confuse others. I have not yet perfected this, but I am going to try to do it anyway!
My blog name, Just A Girl in a Blue World is meant to express two of the topics I will write most about. The first, and probably the highlight of what I plan to post, is that I am the only girl living with six males. Yep. SIX. My husband and our five boy children. And, well... it can get a little insane around here. It is loud, messy, often stinky, but it can be so much fun! I want to share some of that fun with you!
However, I also plan to discuss the hardships I have faced in life, in marriage, and in motherhood (the blue periods). I have also struggled with depression and anxiety, though mildly, and often situational. Thankfully my education has really taught me a lot about how to care for myself through my experiences to reduce the symptoms I have! I cannot, and will not, claim to be all-knowing or wise about depression or anxiety, but I do still experience it.
*(It is important to note that I know many women who have struggled with anxiety and depression far more severely than I have, so I do not at all want to take away from what they experience. I just want to share my own experiences.)
So, with all of that... welcome to a glimpse of my BLUE world! I hope you enjoy sharing life with me through this blog!
