Hello dear reader, and welcome to my little
corner of the internet.
I admit to being daunted at the thought of
posting my first blog post. I have no doubt that I will look back at this post
and cringe.
But to press onwards, and to save my sanity
from endlessly rewriting this post, I thought I would set out what I would like
to achieve with this website.
So. *Deep breath*
Firstly, I have set this up for friends and
family near and far. I think of this website as a bit of a public scrapbook. My
bowerbird’s nest of paraphernalia. Hence the rather odd collection of
categories for this little site. But if your interests range from fermenting
sauerkraut to cycling, or from Arthur Conan Doyle to skincare and makeup, then
hopefully there is something here for you.
But probably there is only my mum reading this.
Hi Mum *waves*
Firstly, the name of this site. The Stress
Chronicles has been my name on Instagram since I first joined, and I feel that
it captures my neurotic wanderings through life. So I have carried it across to
this website, and I feel there is no better descriptor for my overthought
wanderings through life. I apologise in advance if I ever come across as
paranoid, self-centred or ridiculous. At least through the name of this site,
you have been forewarned.
Maybe a little bit of background about myself.
I am Australian, with a mongrel ancestry. I love travelling, and had the
opportunity to live overseas for a year. I lived in Copenhagen, Denmark, and it
was one of the best times of my life. Even after all these years, I still annoy
my family and friends reminiscing about “when I was in Copenhagen” (I promise I
will stop saying that one day guys). I am planning on living overseas again,
and have some plans in the pipeline, however it is very early days. So watch
this space for future updates.
Reading, cooking, eating and cycling at first
don’t appear to be related. However in my world they are a natural (and
sometimes not so natural) rhythm. I want to document these elements of my life,
and if someone else finds it useful, or simply enjoys reading about me bumbling
through life, I will be well pleased. Just try not to judge my idiocy too
harshly.
I think I will leave it here for my first post,
with only another welcome to my site and a thank you for taking the time to
make it this far.
