Hello there cosmic wanderer,

Almost a decade to the day since I started my first blog, a space that allowed me to travel, to work in creative fields and begin to carve my professional career; I find myself once again – writing.

A decade. That’s a long time to catch you up in just a few paragraphs, so I think we’ll have to settle with deciding that the journey that led to here is one I shall elaborate on as time passes. For the moment, I’m writing again. Mainly because in a world of short-form video I was beginning to feel like I was losing touch with myself, my world & my place in it. With so much content at the swipe of a finger my attention span began to decline, my ability to stay focused was becoming a challenge and with that, came a great sense of uncertainty and overwhelm – so I decided it was time to fall back in love with long-form content & once again begin my journey into the unknown of life.

I’ve spent almost all of the last 12 months mainly offline – small periods of activity followed by large periods of inactivity – removing excess social platforms that I no longer felt served purpose for me, working on setting boundaries and re-discovering myself. Getting to know Pixi & the woman I’m becoming.

I’ve not quite fully decided just how far I’m going to evolve this little space yet, but it’s something I intend to explore. I’m excited to have a space that’s just for me, but somewhere that I can invite you to hang out for a while. Those that know me in real life know that I am fiercely protective of my personal space, I rarely invite humans into my physical space, so it’s nice to have a little corner of the web that I can bring to life to share with you.

A lot has happened in the last decade, so I’ll be touching on some of that – but as I threw my metaphorical cases into the trunk of the truck and turned the keys in the ignition, I was overcome with a sense of adventure, curiosity and knowing that I’m stepping into the great wide open. For the first time in a decade, I’m excited too.

Excited because, well, it feels like moving into your own place again for the first time. I’ve done a lot of learning, I’ve had some brilliant and not-so-brilliant experiences in the past few years and I guess mostly when I look back to the young girl writing those posts in 2014, I couldn’t even have imagined the years that would follow – a whirlwind really since then.

I had a week of strange dreams before I decided to share this space, to bring it to life and the final dream last night – saw me basically re-live the plot of ‘Big’ – I was back in high school, except I was the woman in progress I am today, yet all my friends were still 16. I was trying to explain to them that I’d experienced trauma, heartbreak, psycho-friends and more – but they just kept inviting me to come hang out in class. It was strange and I began Sunday morning feeling more like I’d travelled in time than had spent a few hours asleep. One thing I was certain of though, it was time to start exploring again.

So, I can’t wait to start sharing my world with you, my adventures, experiences and connecting the dots in a way that feels more meaningful to me. I’m not doing this because I want a million people to read it, I’m doing it because I want to – it’s something I’m passionate about and well it allows me to explore new to me territories and topics in a way that feels sustainable and safe.

I’m not tied to the pressures of it being my income like I was last time, so I’m excited to take this at my own pace as I learn again the skill of consistency and allow myself to enjoy the thrill of writing. The feeling of excitement whirring as my fingers dance an improvised choreography across the keys.

What I will say is, I’m well on my way to becoming the woman I’m meant to be – a far cry from the girl of before. So, I feel a round of introductions may be necessary.

I can’t promise you the answers you seek which led to your visiting here, but I will take you on as many of my journeys as I can and I hope through our mutual connection of these words on this page, you’ll begin to find what it is you seek. So if like me, you’re looking for something just a little beyond the short-form theatricals of social media, I invite you to join me here as I delve through words and photos into the depths of life and all it’s beauty.

Just like that the colour of the air in the room has changed to a white-gold crystal hue, the tiny particles of light bounce around and the entire room fills with hope, warmth and the energy is a-buzz with life.

So, I guess all that’s left to say is – I’m Pixi, it’s lovely to e-meet you.
I can’t wait to go adventuring with you – so you pop the tea on & I’ll make a start on my next post…
