She's Going Somewhere

the week where she got the idea

once, i was on pinterest looking for some inspiration for my next blog post when i stumbled upon this picture. it was basically a list of ideas for creative projects, and one of them was to give every week a name, almost like it was an episode of a series.

and for some reason, that idea hit me like lightning. and suddenly turned on a tiny lamp inside my head. i couldn’t stop thinking about it, so i decided to make it into a project.

i still have absolutely no idea where this series is going to live, though. this blog? instagram reels? youtube? who knows. but as an amateur person with 14 youtube subscribers, i think i know one thing: i probably shouldn’t start this project by suddenly making a big, cinematic youtube vlog. first of all, i would need an actual idea for a video like that. secondly, fourteen subscribers. lol.

instagram and tiktok are also a little tricky because, well... i’m still not brave enough to put my face in front of a camera. and my room is not exactly what i would call “content-worthy.” there is only so much you can do with a wall, a bed, and a suspicious amount of random stuff lying around.

so, for now, the blog seems like the safest place to start. no camera. no editing. no worrying about whether i look awkward. just me, my laptop, and a lot of words.

the idea is pretty simple. every week, i’ll write about the things that happened, the things i thought about, the little things i did, and maybe some of the things that would otherwise be forgotten. then, i’ll give that week a name. and for this week, i’m calling it: the week where she got the idea.

because if you’ve been reading this blog lately, you probably already know that i’ve been going through a bit of an idea explosion. suddenly, my brain is full of things i want to make and learn and try.

i want to learn how to make ceramics so i can make my own coasters and little mugs. i want to make a magazine. i want to start sending letters to people again. i even want to design my own deck of playing cards, which might be the most unnecessarily ambitious idea of them all. that one is currently stuck, though, because i still have no idea what i want the design to look like. very productive of me.

and it wasn’t just ideas that happened this week. i went to the dentist to get a tooth pulled. i suddenly ended up climbing a mountain and, of course, slipped. because apparently going up a mountain wasn’t enough adventure for one day. and then there’s my cat, who disappeared for the second time. i’m really hoping he comes home soon. i’ve been trying not to worry too much, but obviously that’s easier said than done.

there were probably other little things that happened too, but i don’t want to force myself to write down every single detail just because this is supposed to be a weekly series.

maybe that’s what i like about the idea, actually. it doesn’t have to be perfect. it doesn’t have to be interesting all the time. maybe one week will just be me staying at home, drinking something, rearranging my room, and thinking too much. and that’s okay.

so, this was the week where she got the idea. nothing particularly grand happened. i just found a picture on pinterest, got a little too excited about it, and decided to turn the idea into something of my own. we’ll see where it goes, i guess.

see you next week.
