I’ve been writing for around 8 months now, 8 months of you getting to know me by my writing and my opinions, but a little about who I am. I decided that this week’s post would be about me, letting you guys get to know your favorite author. I didn’t put up a page ‘’about the author’’, I did make one which is Learn about WAI, but it doesn’t say much because truthfully, I was really fucking shy when I started this blog and I liked the idea of being anonymous. However, I’ve grown a lot in the last 8 months, and I’m now ready to give you more input about me, my life.
My ”why”
What I get most when people learn that I have a blog, would be ‘’Do people even read blogs anymore?’’, well actually it may not be as popular as Youtube videos or podcasts or tiktoks, but a lot of people do read blogs. A great example is, whenever you google something and look for a certain information, what do you think pops up? Blogs. They’re all so fucking different, but they’re blogs, and even though you may only be on their website once, some people actually go back every week to read their new posts. It is popular you just don’t know it.
As to why I started a blog, I’ve got many reasons.
Let me tell you a story about me. When I was in sixth grade (primary school in Canada, Elementary in US, I think), we had received an assignment in which you had to write some kind of horror story with at least three difficulties the main character would meet. The average was like 500-700 words. I wrote 1,095 words and I loved every moment of it. I didn’t get an A in it, some other students had better stories and frankly I didn’t even care, but that’s when I knew, writing was something I enjoyed doing. After that, for around 10 years and still to this day, writing is one way to put down my emotions and ideas. It’s the creativity that I enjoy doing and which makes my anxiety slowly disappear. I could go on & on on why I love writing but we got other things to say so.
The deep reason why I started this blog is because it kind of saved me. Almost two years ago, I was in a really bad place, I hated myself, didn’t know what to do or where to go in my life and was really unhappy. When I had the idea of starting a blog and I decided to really do it, I had something to look forward to, I had a project to build and finish up, I had inspiration & motivation and it brightened up my whole life. WAI is my baby, but WAI is also my knight in shining armor LOL. It made me want to get out of bed and go out in the fucking world.
Other than wanting to help people which I already said in Learn about WAI, I’m a certified yapper and writing you guys 900 words a week is one of my weekly yapping session.
What About Me?
Ok, real talk now.
Music is one of my happy places
What I’m listening to depends on my mood obviously, but music is really important to me, it makes me process emotions more easily or feel more deeply. I’ll be listening to good music when I wake up, good music when I workout, calm music when I shower or do my skincare, amazing music or jazz sometimes when I’m writing because it inspires me ok sue me. Anyways, I LOVE music forever.
Also, I sing all the time. I’m not good at it, but it’s definitely an essential to my everyday life.
I suffer from OCD
It’s actually really bad, some weeks worse than others, but it’s something I struggle with too much and it’s exhausting. I have no other words for it than exhausting.
I am distracted – in French ”Dans la lune’’
Yes. Always.
Some people think I have some kind of ADHD, I don’t, I’m just somewhere else to many times a day.
I have a birthmark on the side of my leg
Struggled with that one for YEARSSS. Today I find her cute, she’s part of me.
My favorite things in the world are being a woman & food
Besides my loved ones of course.
I just love being a girl. Also, I have a hard time sharing my food, I don’t know why, I just can’t. If I do then I either don’t really like what I’m eating or I like you a whole bunch.
I started working out because I was unhappy with my body
I always was really skinny. ‘’Too skinny’’ some said. A lot of people think being skinny is the dream, but truth is, being happy in your own skin is the dream.
I drove into a tree on a four-wheels younger
The tree has unfortunately not recovered and no more leaves are growing on it. I’m sorry. I feel bad. My brother on the back was ok though.
My family is the most important thing to me
I love them more than anything else in this world, they will always be my priority.
I had a total of four concussions in my life
Thing is, the more you get them, the easiest it is after to have another one. Tough world. Anyways, I have after-effects in my everyday life now, such as I can wake up with a huge headache and it’s not going away. If I drink too much alcohol, the next day I may be dizzy the whole day. If I don’t work out enough or just move enough, I’ll get a headache. I can’t binge watch a TV show all day because I’ll start having a headache after around 4 episodes. Sometimes, I randomly start feeling dizzy and it feels like I’m falling off of a building in a dream, but in real life I’m just telling a story to my fav coworker. Sat down.
My name’s Marie.
Actually, it’s Marie-Eve.
Now you know a lot more about me and I hope you enjoyed reading this cause I enjoyed writing it. Welcome again on my Blog and thank you for reading my posts, I really appreciate it.
Significant mwahs this week <3
