Hi! I’m Makaela.

It’s 2023, and i’ve started a blog. I know, I know, i’m a bit behind the times. Isn’t a blog so… 2015? Well yes. But that’s not the point.

The point of this, is to create a safe space where I can basically make sense of this crazy thing that is life. It’s a cross between a diary, a blog, and maybe even a way to build a community of people going through the same shit.

So who am I?

I’m a self confessed coffee-snob, A-type, people-pleasing, workaholic, selfie-taking, dog-loving (not owning - YET), sunshine and beach obsessing, food-loving, flower-child millennial who is trying to navigate all the things we are ‘supposed to be doing’ with our lives, while trying to maintain a semblance of sanity, dignity, mental health, and work-life balance.

I struggle with keeping on top of everything. How are we supposed to excel in our career, hold down a relationship, maintain friendships and social calendars, deal with other people’s drama, work out a million times a week, keep a clean house, stay on top of laundry, clear the cobwebs from the top of the staircase, look after our parents, rest and recuperate enough to hit the ground running come monday morning, AND manage to work on ourselves too?? Even just writing that down exhausted me.

So come along with me as I try to balance it all, while writing about it, and while making sure I say fuck it every so often and do exactly what I want. We have to be selfish if we want to survive sometimes right? Right??

Thanks for reading - love you!
