Life's Journey

Every time I log into my blog and read previous entries, I am amazed at how much has changed in my life since the last post. The ironic twist is that my life is truly ever changing, sometimes its can be so much at once that I stay in a spin for a while.

Well here we are in 2025, the last day of October, my favorite month! I am preparing to get back on Tiktok for the first time in over a year! The truth is, deep down I am a performer/entertainer. When I was small, the first memories I have of knowing what I wanted to be when I "grew up" was to be an actor. I dont even know why, I guess I was always pretending and acting. My life was a drama. But since then I was a DJ for a few years, and the part I loved the most about it was entertaining people. I was like Pandora radio, I could feel what the crowd wanted. At first I gave them what they requested, but then learned to use my intuition and each night I DJ'ed was magical for me because it was a "concert" or "show"...if you will...It was so fulfilling.

Why did I leave it all? It also came with an addiction of consumption. I began to rely on drinking and drugs to make me "more fun". When I finally walked away from it, I still had a problem that I finally confronted in 2016.

2016 was a turning point for me. I got sober and in November right after the election, I had to get the fuck out of Georgia. So I found a job in IL and we loaded up the Uhaul and left town! The worst part, leaving my sweet 7 year old niece.

Long story short, I went from IL to IA within about 9 months and stayed in Council Bluffs, IA for about 5 years. I really learned alot about myself there, leaned into who I wanted to be and who I was deep inside. In 2022 we packed up the Uhaul again and headed for NC, sort of another place that was a dream location for me. Spent almost 2 years in NC, heading to SC for a few before coming back to the Georgia Coast in 2024. So we are back, and to be honest, not sure if Brunswick, GA will be our final place. Will I ever have a final place?? Or at least one where I unpack and stay for more than 5 years? I feel like 5 years is the most I have ever stayed in one house.

I envy those who have grown up and lived in the same towns where they have history, and their homes are lived in. But I wouldn't change my journey so far.

So I am here...on the Georgia Coast and attempting to stay for a few years...We have been back 1 year so far. I opened my site back up and am updating my Etsy store. I honestly work so much that i don't know if I will have time to keep up, but I wanted to try! So here's to what the next blog will bring!

Love,

Jen
