Hi
As I write my first post, I find myself not really sure where to start... so to keep it basic, I’ll just introduce myself. I never planned to make a tumblr account before, and to be honest, I’m shocked to have fully gone through with it. You see, I’m currently on a journey to find what exactly I want to do with my life. All that I know is, I’m not 100% happy at my current job, nor do I make the money you’d expect from the type of job I do in the first place. At least, those who are not in the field would expect. So as I finally found myself having some time off from work,(*cough cough* thanks coronavirus) I decided to really dive into the many different skills I can build, and possibly excel at making it into my own freelance business. I’ve considered a few options now, and I’m noticing that they are very much related to writing. Copywriting, blogging, proofreading, etc. But I do have to admit, I’m not the best writer out there. I haven’t picked up a book and read it in a matter of 2-3 days since junior year of high school, nor have I written a good paper in a while. So I’m not dead set on the idea just yet. I’m also considering learning to be a web developer and take some coding bootcamps, or a graphic designer, or a logo maker even. Now, it is understood that some of these require artistic skills. I used to enjoy drawing so much and always wanted to get into painting, but sometime either during or right before high school, I quickly began to lose interest in any of the hobbies I had spent all of my time on growing up, which included drawing, reading, and writing. I could go on about how high school and adulthood have really taken so much motivation away, but that’s some other depressing post for another day. The point is, I’m currently on a journey of re-developing some skills and discovering new ones, not just to enjoy, but to make it into a career. To figure out whether writing and blogging would be a good idea for me, I needed a platform I could dip my toes into and test out the waters. As I did my research to see which platform could get me started, tumblr popped up as one of the top options. So I thought, “What the heck?” and made myself an account. I’m coming in here with an open mindset and plan on posting miscellaneous items since this blog is more for recreational and educational fun. Oh! Almost forgot, I have a name too! Johanna RF. You don’t gotta know the details. I’ll write more posts about who I am and my life and whatnot in separate posts later. It’s past midnight and I can hear my husband snoring away and moaning in his sleep as I type this. That’s my cue to call it a night. Have a good night! Or morning, whatever time of day it is when you read this.
