About

Reinventing me.

Hello there. My name isn’t important. What is important is that this blog, Footnotes to a Former Life, is something I’ve wanted to create for a long time.

Life has been a little chaotic lately. School, work, responsibilities… the usual. Somewhere along the way, I started feeling confused, burnt out, and honestly a bit overwhelmed. So this space is for that in-between feeling. It’s a place to document whatever I decide to try next—cooking something new, picking up my camera again, starting a craft, reading just for the joy of it. I’m not entirely sure what this will become, and I think that’s the point.

I’ve been in school for so long that I don’t really know who I am outside of it. Without syllabi and deadlines, what would my life look like? What would I choose?

This blog is my way of figuring that out. I want to experiment with different hobbies, explore new interests, and see what sparks something in me again. Maybe I’ll discover a hidden talent. Maybe I’ll realize I’m meant to take a completely different path. Or maybe I’ll just learn how to rest.

Either way, these are the footnotes to whatever comes next…

  • So… Maybe a Little Superstitious

    Are you superstitious? Mmm… am I superstitious? I’m not going to lie, I actually read this wrong at first and thought it said suspicious. My immediate reaction was, “Am I suspicious?” and my answer was… mmm, I don’t think so. I’d like to believe I’m fairly normal in that department. Then I read it again…

  • When the Effort Only Goes One Way

    Hello to any readers out there, Today I want to write about something a little different. It’s something that has been weighing on me for a while and might even be something some of you can relate to. A few years ago, I came to a realization that was honestly a little hard to accept:…

A Scenic Detour —Photography

Gallery of nature, travel, & more….
A space to share my photography. I used to love taking photos, but somewhere along the way, I just stopped. I’ll have a page on this blog dedicated to images I’ve captured in the past, and maybe, just maybe, revisiting them will inspire me to pick up my camera again.
