welcome to my crib

hi there. time for introductions.

my name is gianna and this is my blog space. trust me when i say that i really do have a plan for how all of this is going to work out, but for the meantime let me establish who i am and where you are. this is meant to be a public space about the living experience of a 20-something trying to find meaning and/or significance in their passions while simultaneously realizing that one of the best ways to find meaning is to create it.

so instead of dividing and conquering, i’m focusing on how i can yap about everything that i obsess over in one space. now, not all of these things are going to be coherent. i’m not even promising that they’re gonna be great. but at the very least i know this is my own nook where i can release the voices from this tiny brain to make more room for the things that make me happy.

it’s gonna be all over the place, but if you think this is a space where you can spend a little time, then by all means dig deeper into these works. my hobbies are multifaceted in their nature which means there might be a lot of what you like, and maybe a little of what you don’t. but that’s ok, because at the end of the day these works are more for me to figure out what a deep connection to myself and the things that bring me joy can look like.

you’ll likely find out more about me, my tastes and talents as you read on so i won’t spoil too much for you now. but i will leave you with this: the act of vulnerability can often feel like it comes with the sacrifice of safety, but i tend to think the opposite can be true. expressing vulnerability looks like embracing the means that make you feel safe, despite the constant fear lurking under the surface.

so while i carry on with the mission of accepting how to welcome being seen (and perceived, YUCK!), i hope that this passage of self-worth extends itself to the reader who may not know the best way to find the spaces where you belong may be to create them yourself.
