Hello!

You have clicked on this page because… well its the first page to click on. So WELCOME and HELLO.

First and foremost this blog is my safe space. Don’t come poking around here if you have malicious intent, plan to be judgmental, or have general bad vibes that you aren’t trying to expel.

You may be thinking to yourself “I don’t get the name of this blog” or “what’s happening here“. Let me explain it to you as best as I can by a story.

While sitting around the dinner table 2 years ago with my friend’s family, I tuned into the fact that when discussing people they can be attributed to something that they excel at. Whether it be drawing, writing, photography, running, reading, or even knowledge of beetles. You often hear it as “Oh Tiffany D. Is she the one who figure skates?” or “Oh you should ask him about that, he loves to take photos.”

What was mine though? I started asking my friends “what is my thing?” and being a good friends they rambled off a few things I am good at, interior design, thrifting, gossiping, so on. But I felt they understood that I don’t really have a “thing” that I am the resource for, or people can mark me as “all knowing”.

If there was a scale 1 being: knows absolutely NOTHING and 10 being: Could be a professor at Harvard on the subject I would land at a 4-6 for most of my “things” which I would categorize as “almost pretty good” (see we are getting somewhere).

Honestly it used to bother me more that I don’t have a thing, I equated it with not having a passion. Now it bothers me that I’m ALMOST pretty good at something but not remarkably good enough that I could be cited as a reference on the topic. And I will chalk that up to being competitive.

HENCE THE BLOG.. I know I am rambling.

I’m moving my meter from almost pretty good at things to a solid pretty good/ excellent at things and this blog will serve as that catchall to that information. I plan to show my journey and goals to some of my “things” as well as share tips and tricks on the subjects I am mastering.

I hope I can serve as a reference to those people like me who are passionless but living life without their “thing”. Because, in reality we don’t need to have a “thing” this isn’t the old days where everyone in the tribe had a role, whether you were the storyteller, the hunter, the medic, or the fire builder.

This is my thing now! So I hope you check back in!
