2025 feelin' alive

Hi! Welcome to my blog this year! 

This is the time of year when new friends that I’ve made since last year learn that I’m a little funny or kinda weird, or like a 20/80 split between the two, with this annual thing I do. (ALSO, this is my TENTH YEAR doing this?)

I do this blog during Lent (Christian liturgical season we’re in rn, that comes before Easter) to add a practice that isn’t scrolling on my phone and one that helps me be vulnerable in a good way and hopefully brings a little smidgeon of joy. It’s called 10% serious, because that’s how serious I want to be about this. I want this to be like seeing a puppy when you’re sad (or happy, I actually hope you're happy tho).

Here are some possible topics this year that I thought of just now (my rule for continuing this blog every year is that I’ll stop when I stop thinking of random stuff and that never happens): 

• Apples, peanuts, and crafts at Grandma’s house
• I forgot to read, but here’s a list of tv shows I watched
• Spotify playlist when you have children
• Things that make a day good
• Musical chairs, and other games that didn’t age well
• Quote Notebook, as in a notebook with quotes not quoting The Notebook
• People are worth knowing
• Insomnia hacks
• Cute things Clara says that I’ll be sad when she says correctly
• Quick, you’re leading this thing in 3 minutes
• Lesser known/ somewhat made up adhd traits
• Cheese.
• Bucket list
• Lutheran amen
• Mean things you don't have to do
• Perfect job
• New projects I might want to start
• answer with a song
