just a little ketchup

heyo. just a little ketchup blog goin on here. after receiving feedback and comments, it has come to my attention that i should occasionally write blogs that simply update you all on me and my life. so here i am, opening up about all the things.

the older i’ve gotten, the weirder i’ve become. i think it’s because of the confidence i’ve gained in who i am. thus the blog title…catch up….ketchup…hahahaha. i think i’m funny.

cga. cga has been a beautiful time of learning, growing, restoration and understanding. but i feel i’ve talked enough about that, so i am going to talk about my day to day life.

life looks a little like this: wake up each morning (most likely 10 minutes later than planned), and immediately pick up my phone to read Psalms 18. every morning. i sit up just in time to see my roomies head out the door to go spend their quiet time at the office. it works out great for me, since i usually need my entire “getting ready” time to fully wake up, listen to quiet music, and set the tone for the day. this is the only planned part of any day. i am quite spontaneous.

now i won’t write out each moment of every day in detail. y’all would hate me. no joke. i do a lot. and it’s weird, and who needs to know it all.

my days are filled with class, mondays from 9-5, and tuesday-friday 8-12. when i am not at class, you most likely will find me taking a quick nap (or sometimes a 3 hour one), art journaling, and laughing with my roommates. MOST often, though, you’ll find me at work. Tradewind Coffee Co. i love it. i barista anywhere between 15 and 37 hours a week. some days i’m convinced i live there, and i find my job ironic because i quit drinking coffee.

mom always told me growing up that i didn’t handle caffeine very well. boy was she right. i stopped drinking coffee almost 2 months ago? somewhere around there. i stopped drinking it because i realized it was triggering some traumas i am still working through. why drink something that triggers you? decaf is cool too (jk, that stuff nasty. if you drink it you not a real coffee drinker)!!

let’s see, what else?

oh! i’m moving home in march for about 3 months, so once again catch me callin’ them hogs, shootin’ guns and runnin’ through corn fields.

jk. i don’t do that. not everyone in arkansas is redneck as heck. but i do enjoy the shooting range. fun fact, i gained more of a southern accent when i moved to GA than i’ve ever had IN MY LIFE.

i’ve learned a little about myself since moving here; so just to put myself in a box, my Enneagram is a 4wing3, and as of last night i found out i am a Myers Briggs INFP, not an ISFP. i’m shook, but upon about an hour of research, it is quite true that my first result (from the test i took two years ago) is wrong.

now i say these tests put me in a box, but really they only do that on paper. i have learned SO much about who i am, my thought patterns, how i learn and grow, and sooo much more since diving in and learning all that these research tests can teach. i have learned how i function, so i am able to grow in the healthy and throw off the unhealthy. i am able to allow others into my life better, because i know what i can give and also what i need.

i’ve decided not to cut my hair. maybe a trim or two, but no more dramatic cuts for at least a year. we will see how that goes, because i love a spontaneous change (thus my new eyebrow piercing).

this blog to me looks like a jumbled mess, but here it is. just a jumble of thoughts and choices i’ve made. there is so much joy in the mundane. i love the simplest things.

now go get some fries to go with this ketchup. they are my favorite food, and you deserve a treat.
