A WHOLE YEAR OF IN MY SITI ERA
It's September 4th! HOW.
Today was the day I first started In My Siti Era!
It’s so wild to me that I’ve been consistently writing for a whole year. This blog has become one of my favorite (and nerdiest) things to tell people. Writing has pushed me to continuously create and share with others about my life.
As a Gen-Z unmedicated adult with ADHD…it’s very difficult not to get bored of projects and just give up.
I wanted to not give up. I wanted to continue writing, even when I didn’t feel like it or had no idea what to talk about.
I was scared I’d run out of ideas, or that other people would hate my writing, or the worst: that no one cared.
And I’m sure that there are people that truly don’t care! AND THAT IS A-OKAY.
My goal for this piece was to honor my Siti, to show up in ways she did for me and my family to those around me. I hope that writing this will continue to be a monument to her love and care for others.
Since starting this blog…
I graduated college.
I moved to Houston, TX.
I started a new job (that is really cool and fun and makes me feel like an adult).
I traveled more than I thought I would!
I TRIED SO MANY COOL FOODS AND DRINKS.
My camera roll is now so full of food pictures. to which when taking said photos, I say, “It’s for my blog!” almost every single time.
My goals for success in my life have loosened and changed in little ways.
My love for being in the kitchen has only grown.
I fail all the time, and that’s okay.
I don’t take myself as seriously as before.
I’ve felt more connected to my 10-year-old self
(Y’all, she was so weird and goofy and it’s been really cool to get to know her again)
I’ve let go of a few dreams, not forever, but just for now.
I’ve given myself space to find new dreams.
I’ve grown in my faith and trust in God, probably the hardest out of the entire list. Finding a deeper connection to my beliefs has been worth the mess.
Growing rocks and sucks so so much.
If you made it this far and continue to read this, thank you. I have no idea what this next year will look like, but I can’t wait to share what happens.
With Love,
Cara
