Welcome to Wandering in the Woods — a blog named after my last name, not because I’m out here living my best outdoorsy life. If you ever catch me in an actual forest, please have water, I will be out of breath and fighting for my life.
This space will be where all my favorite things collide in one gloriously chaotic swirl: reading, writing, poetry, coloring, drawing, organizing, making lists (I could win awards for list‑making), video games, TV shows, movies, and whatever else currently has a chokehold on my attention. My brain is basically a cozy library, an art studio, and a gaming lounge all stacked on top of each other with strong structural integrity.
And then there are my dogs — Lenny and Gilbert — two standard poodles who are, without exaggeration, the center of my universe. They’re cuddly, dramatic, emotionally intelligent, and fully prepared to appear in this blog more often than I do.
A few of my favorite things you’ll see sprinkled throughout:
- Harry Potter references, because I will never stop wishing my Hogwarts letter simply got lost in the mail (by the way, I’m a Hufflepuff)
- Peacock-themed everything, because why love something subtly when you can love it loudly and colorfully
- Photos of things that make me happy or feel
- Art, doodles, and coloring pages that keep me sane
- Lists — so many lists — because organizing chaos is my superpower
- Thoughts, rants, and ramblings about whatever book, show, movie, or game has taken over my brain
This blog is basically a digital scrapbook of my life: the creative bits, the silly bits, the heartfelt bits, and the “I don’t know why I’m posting this but here we are” bits. Some posts will be thoughtful. Some will be chaotic. Some will be me holding up a metaphorical shiny rock and saying, “Look at this!”
If you’ve wandered in — intentionally or by accident — welcome. Grab a comfy seat, maybe a snack, and follow along.
Here’s to wandering, wondering, and embracing the magic in the everyday.
