do yourself in

Currently listening to: SexyBack – Justin Timberlake feat. Timbaland

I’m bringin’ sexy back (yeah)You motherfuckers watch how I attack (yeah)If that’s your girl, better watch your back (yeah)‘Cause she’ll burn it up for me, and that’s a fact (yeah)Take ’em to the chorus

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

I’ll be real with you—I’m not exactly the DIY type. Sure, I’ve had my fair share of ambitious moments while watching HGTV, convincing myself that I could totally remodel a kitchen or build a Pinterest-worthy coffee table from scratch. But then reality sets in after being delulu. I don’t own half the tools that are required for whatever project I thought I was going to be able to do, I lack the patience for power tools, and honestly, I have no desire to spend my weekends tangled in a mess of wood glue and frustration. I can barely hold it together assembling anything from IKEA let alone renovating a small bathroom.

Do you think you would handle worldwide fame well?

Absolutely not. I’d probably get canceled within a week or lose followers at a record pace. I thrive in low-key environments, and the idea of constantly having to engage with strangers, smile for cameras, and be “on” all the time sounds like my personal nightmare. Small talk drains me, and I’d rather melt into the background than be under a microscope.

That said, the blogging world is different. Even though I’ve never met most of the bloggers on WP in person, I feel like I know them—our interactions feel familiar, like an ongoing conversation among kindred spirits. I enjoy reading posts, leaving comments, and engaging with others in a way that feels natural and unforced. 

When it comes to real life, I keep things simple. I communicate with my staff and patients because that’s my job. I keep my family in the loop about my upcoming plans. But beyond that? I like the ability to exist without the weight of the world watching.

    At this stage in my life, socializing is at a premium. Face it there are just not a whole lot of ways to meet new people for an older gal. That, and the fact that I want to interact when I want to interact- not when you do- and therefore, I make the perfect blogging companion.

    I hate the term cancel on people. Why can’t they just say unfollow or stop being a fan? Cancel just sounds stupid like humans have somehow become equivalent to subscriptions. Plus doing so doesn’t make a difference because that person is still going to keep doing what they’re doing.

    People share some of their deepest and darkest through writing, stuff we wouldn’t even share with family or friends IRL. That’s why we feel we “know” each other on a deeper level, I think 🤔

    You are, of course, a girl after my own heart!

    Yes to SexyBack!
    No to DIY. I’ve never used power tools.
    In person, I may be lower key than you. I’m in “hermit mode” often and only come out when I want to.
    The blogging world is most definitely different. And I come here when I am ready to. No one pressures me.
    “When it comes to real life, I keep things simple.” You are preaching to the choir, Rojie! (Me being the choir.) 🙂
