The Manic Scribe

I find myself an artist, always.

The act of creation itself is my joy. I’m a lifelong student, endlessly curious about the world around me. I’m also a mother and grandmother, an older woman navigating the delicate balance of feeling unseen and wonderfully bold.

I’m a bit of a mix, really – a blend of old and new. Some months, I’m exploring the world as a digital nomad, and others, I’m happily tucked away at home, a technophile in my own little world. By trade, I’m a web specialist with a degree built from a foundation of art history and computer science.

I’ve come to realize I’ve been everything I ever wanted and never wanted to be. For many years, I journeyed through the complexities of the mental health system, often feeling adrift. It’s been a long and challenging path to find solid ground. Now, having discovered some helpful tools, I feel a need to share them with others. I wish to share my passions and ideas in a way that feels healthy and nurturing.

I’m learning to embrace each day as a fresh beginning. Through journaling, I’m gently releasing the things that no longer serve me, the things I cannot change. I’m on a journey of becoming a kinder version of myself. I’m discovering the preciousness of life and trying my best to stay awake, even when it feels difficult.

I am, in short, a crazy cat lady.
