Hello All! As you can tell by the title, this post is a short introduction. One of the main reasons I want to start this blog is to discover more about myself. ITs crazy to think that after 34 years, I could still be trying to figure out who I am. But one thing I do know is that I give a lot of myself, so much so that I can loose myself in the process. So I am on a journey to figure out who I authentically am, what I believe in, and what my purpose is on this planet.
I figured I could start with a few things that I do know. So here are 10 random facts about me:
-
I am from Bakersfield, CA.
You know where that is, right? No?! Its ok. Most people don’t. It is a growing city about an hour and a half north of Los Angeles. Most people drive around it on their way to Northern California, so they think its just gas station. But it’s actually gotten quite large. I really enjoyed growing up there. My family is still there, so it will always be home!
-
I am the eldest of 3 siblings.
I have two younger sisters, Devyn and Cidney. Devyn is two and a half years younger and Cidney is a whopping ten years younger than me. I felt horrible for my dad, being the only man in a house full of women.
-
I have a strange love for McDonald’s Coke.
I will go through the drive thru with $1.08 to buy a large Coke. I don’t care what anyone says, it tastes better than all the other Coke out there. Do a taste test, You’ll see!
-
I love to visit new places.
Traveling has become a new hobby of mine. Any time I am able I would love to be on a plane visiting somewhere I’ve never been before.
-
I am a Registered Nurse.
That still so crazy to say. School never seemed like it was going to end. The NCLEX seemed impossible. But here I am, eight years later, doing what I worked so hard for.
-
My ears are incredibly small.
I figured I’d just get this one out of the way. People like to tease me about them for some reason. They work perfectly fine, in case you were wondering. LOL.
-
I am a shopper!
I still love walking into stores, perusing the aisle, looking for the best deals. My style has changed over the years, but that just opened a whole other variety of stores and shops for me to discover. And don’t even get me started with online shopping. It’s like Christmas all year long!
-
I do not like bananas.
I realized its more of a pet peeve. They are mushy. They don’t smell good. Their flavor overpowers everything. I literally have to be starving in order to eat one, and even then, they need to be green. ugh…
-
I love to sleep.
I can sleep anytime and any place (cues Janet Jackson track). Even if I’ve slept a full night, I can take a nap, wake up, drink caffeine and go to bed at 10p like it is nothing. I really think it’s a hidden talent.
-
I love being active.
I have participated in some sport or physical fitness activity since I was very young. I played every sport while in high school. Now, I find myself trying any type of workout activity there is, yoga, bootcamps, cycling, you name it. I’m always looking for something new.
There you have it! I can’t wait to add more to this list. Even more excited for the journey.
