I made this page years ago but never posted on here! I often have difficulty getting started with things (i.e. procrastination)⦠but thereās no time like the present, right? Iām a perfectionist, so this makes it harder to begin; however, I feel like Iām getting better at combating this. You know, I actually made this blog when I was still trying to recover from an eating disorder (anorexia nervosa). Iām recovered now (thankfully) and am in the best place mentally Iāve ever been. The title of the blog was a play on words; Rocky road and Monte Carlo were two things I never would have eaten in the past! It seemed like such an impossible thing to ever be able to get to the point where I could enjoy a dessert or sweet biscuit guilt-free. Where Iām from, thereās a brand called Arnottās and they make lots of different things including Monte Carlo biscuits (theyāre nice, I like them). Also, obviously it works as a phrase literally too. Itās not always easy to get to foreign places (being from Australia it always seemed like Iād never get to travel because itās expensive and far away from most foreign destinations). But guess what? I did travel (not to Monte Carlo though haha maybe one day I should check it out?) and now I live abroad! Yeah, it was a hard (rocky) road to get to this place⦠but I made it! I liked stumbling across this page again and I like that Iāve come such a long way since I created this blog. I donāt even think I thought about what Iād use it for back then⦠perhaps I can use it now though, hey? Maybe I should thank past me for setting up this little space for me to document my thoughts and experiences? Iāve never been good at keeping journals, but perhaps this format might work for me. I want to write more⦠Letās just see how this pans out, shall we?
