What do people blog about? Are blogs even cool anymore? Do people read blogs?
These are all things that crossed my mind at the thought of beginning a blog.
Not just my blog, but our blog. We are now bloggers.
Why a blog?
Well. I could spend a few months (hello quarantine and being stuck with my own thoughts and feelings for two months) but in simple language, I decided I wanted to make a change to my life (turning 30 in forty one days has me freaking) and move a little closer to dreams and goals I have set for myself before I wake up in ten years and find I have accomplished nothing. For MM (Mediocre Melly) you need to read her intro blog for that….
But this is not just a blog; it’s a journey, a story and an adventure of two people who have found something in common. Something they want to do and keep each other accountable with, and maybe if there are people out there who also have things they are working towards or want to achieve, this can inspire them to start and join us on this journey.
What is the purpose?
In all honesty, my only goal is to do something and follow it through. I want to keep myself accountable, and I need your help with it. I figure putting the thoughts, the feelings, the plans, the accomplishments down in virtual space then someone out there (even if it is just MM) will have to keep me following through.
Regularly consumed with my monotonous day to day, work, people, life events just seem to take the priority (raise your virtual hand if that is you too). This is me, ensuring I am number one for once.
Who is Cathartic-Ella?
Aside from freaking out over turning 30 (why do we do that?) I am an Australian girl, based in Melbourne, raised in Perth and born in Brisbane…. An almost nomad if you will, who has a Bachelor of Arts, likes to act, write and does the retail thing.
I am a normal human being, probably more fabulous in my mind than reality, who has some big dreams for herself.
I want to travel.
I want to be my own boss.
I want to set my own destiny.
Small goals, right?
Now you might be asking, why not use your real name? Surely there is no one out there actually called Cathartic-Ella (I have not googled, if there is you have a beautiful name) but I figure I need to be fearless and honest with you and that from experience is always easier when you are playing the part of someone else.
Plus, I could tell you my real name, but where is the mystery and intrigue in that?
