Surprise! I’m Alive (and Thriving!)

Welcome to the wild, messy, and absolutely fabulous chronicles of a 35-year-old late bloomer. Yes, that’s me, an ADHD introvert who spent the majority of her life hiding in her “cozy hermit shell,” taking care of others, and politely dodging social interaction like it was dodgeball in P.E. class. (I wasn’t great at that game either.)

But, plot twist: I’m finally outside! No, seriously, like, I’m actually leaving my house. Whether it’s roller skating with the grace of a baby giraffe or pole fitness (which is basically circus arts meets ninja warrior), I’m embracing this whole “living” thing. And let me tell you—it’s a rollercoaster, with occasional bruises, but oh, the view is worth it.

So, dear reader, if you’re also someone who’s been stuck in the shadows, worried the world might be too big, too loud, or too extra, I’m here to show you: it’s OK to step out. You don’t have to leap out of your shell all at once. You can crawl, dance, or, in my case, skate-wobble your way out. It’s your journey, and you deserve to enjoy every awkward, joyful, and glorious moment of it.

Now, buckle up (or lace up those skates)—and join me as I embrace the chaos, one misstep and adventure at a time. Let’s do this, 30-something style. You’re invited to the party. It’s BYOC (Bring Your Own Confidence)—don’t worry, it’s OK if yours is still under construction.
