Do you ever just feel really upset and realize you have NO idea why? That's been me a lot lately. Everything going on in the world has been weighing on my mind so heavily. I had to cut out some freinds and family recently because it was starting to make a huge impact on my mental health. I've always used books as a way to escape, but ever since quarantine started I have found it difficult to crack open any world. Mainly I have been having Twilight marathons and binge-watching different anime's, but then I start to feel unproductive. I'm sure many of you feel the same.
In feeling unproductive I finally started some real work on the shop I've been wanting to open for a long time. My last job as a caregiver really did some damage to my mental health and I had a long discussion with myself about what it is that I want in life. I want to do something fun where I am comfortable and happy, but still DOING something. That's when I remembered the Etsy shop I made when I was in high school, I never completed it or put anything up to sell. Could this be the time? I really wasn't sure that it was. Our new normal is just so hectic, but then I realized this could be the time! I always put off starting it because of my full-time job, but now I had all the time in the world. This really is the perfect job for me, I've always been crafty and now I can give myself whatever time I need to write AND support my future customers!
I've been working on all of this for a few weeks and am so excited to share it with everyone, I honestly haven't been this excited about working in a long time. I am still working on my book, but this is something I can do to support my family and it'll bring me happiness in between writing. I hope you'll check out my shop when it is ready and be sure to follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as Fandom Dreams!
I'll blog again soon!
Thanks for reading,
Zoe
