I guess it is finally time to update this as it’s almost my blog-oversary. Yikes! Where did the 10.5 months go?
So about me….
I’m in my 30s and only now begun the process of really trying to make my life my own. In my twenties I was too busy doing what would make everyone else happy but myself–getting degrees, working, etc. After grad school and finding work, I focused on losing weight. I figured that once all of that stuff got out-of-the-way, everything else would fall into place and I could officially start my happy life…and well….life had news for me as that totally didn’t happen.
When those things didn’t happen, things got a bit out of control with overspending (not into debt, but not saving money like I could have), working out, bulimia, binge eating, self-hatred, loss of purpose and finally, it all culminated into a depressed period in 2011.
Through counseling I managed to shake off the darkest parts, but I still had doubts about my life, my self, my purpose. That’s when I started 30andlearning! I needed to help re-build and give myself purpose and goals–hence the learning list. From there this has evolved into a bit of everything–photography, shopping, self discovery, fear fighting, fitness, health, food and I love that it’s messy–just like me. And, in the end, I hope that this blog will help me discover who this “me” is and what I’m about as I have only scratched the surface and there is much more to see, do, experience and become.
I hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any comments, questions, or recommendations please leave a comment on the blog or you can email me directly at 30andlearing AT gmail DOT com.
I nominated you for the ABC (Awesome Blogger Content) Award…because I think your blog is awesome. Head over and check it out!
P.S. You are not giving much information about yourself on this page…
Haha.
LOL! What else should I put on it? I mean, it isn’t a dating profile–though who knows–maybe there is some guy out there in the blogosphere who would like my weird wonderful self?
I am sure there are tons of guys out there who would love your weird wonderful self… though if you were trying to pick up dudes, your blog might not be as much fun for the rest of us!!
I would like to hope so. I am just starting to think that they don’t live in my fair city of Winnipeg. It is a bit meat head-y over here. Lol. I promiSe Tory and put a bit more info on this portion of my blog real soon! 🙂
🙂 I was just busting your chops…. does using that phrase that make me a meathead too? haha.
Nah–you are a-ok! Unless you like to listen to Nickleback and watch the Canadian Football League! 😉
ok, I am safe… the CFL field is too big!! haha. Is Nickleback still around?!?
I love the title of your blog! The 30’s are a really fun and interesting time because you know yourself so much better than when you’re in your 20’s but you still aren’t quite at 40. I love the idea of an everything blog…that’s what its about…(to me at least) staying true to yourself!
Thank you so much. Your comment brought a big, big smile to my face because I always thought of my blog as too disjointed. lol. Cheers to you and all the best in 2013!
‘Disjointed’ should probably be the title of my blog : ) I believe in staying true to yourself and not fitting into a mold. Plus it keeps the readers guessing. Thanks so much and keep up the fun posts!
Happy Holidays!
