2020 – Present Day: Gist Explained

Sept 2020:

This blog was intended to be a way to collaborate recipes with a group of friends and to touch tough topics like mental health etc. However, as time has passed, I’m claiming it as a way to channel all the thoughts running through this fluff’s head. This is a sole project and like all major projects or risky journeys I take, I’ve taken all the challenges on my own. From all these experiences, I have stories, facts, random anecdotes that just float through my mind. I figure since I’m getting older I should write them down. Memory is definitely not something that runs highly functioning in my family…hahaha. However, weirdly enough, I can remember a hauntingly delicious dish I ate with a friend that blew my mind 10 years back but can’t remember what I ate breakfast the day before…sometimes breakfast that day 😩

I also made the decision to change careers and with that began my UX/UI Design Journey. That started in November 2020. Now one thing is when you start an online certification program during the holidays…during a pandemic…so many distractions! However, who would have thought 2021 would be such a whirlwind.

2021:

Now this year was a shit show, memorable, angering, disappointing, lovely…basically bittersweet. They will all have their own entry when I’m ready to spill the beans. Here’s the fluffiest gist of what went down:

Yay:

• My boyfriend of 4yrs became my fiance in March and fully upgraded to husband in September
• Trucking through my UX/UI journey
• Graduating from my UX/UI Certification Program: You’re looking at a fluffy UX/UI Designer! Woot!🎉🎉🎊🎊
• We moved twice!

Nay:

• I got to experience living with a full-fledged Karen…and the craziest part is…this thing is blood-related…🙅🏻‍♀️
• Planning and budgeting my own wedding was a totally different experience than planning and budgeting for customers weddings when I ran my own wedding business. Don’t know why
• Recovering from a Repetitive Sports Injury: Basically an office injury due to being overworked. 😒
• Reliving high school nightmares of working in a group project.
• We moved twice!

2022

Once I’ve graduated, dealt with the chaos at work, and hunting for a job this is what I’m aiming for this year:

• Up and running blog
• Finding more pieces of myself and becoming a little fuller than before
• Focus on mental health and quality of life
• Getting more rejections from jobs I’ve applied to, and accepting its out of my control
• Recording recipes that I’ve created
• Just being ok

Those are my current goals, what are yours? Let me know in the comments

That’s all for now! Have a good one and I’ll fluff ya later!
