Happy New Year!

It’s hard to believe it’s 2024. I originally made this site in 2019 for my senior year capstone projects. Then it got a makeover post-harsh-lockdown in late 2021. It was supposed to be a blog following my 2022 experiences. In retrospect it was doomed to fail from the inception.

I was in a weird mental space and thought that giving myself hard, reflective tasks was going to magically give me self discipline. When in reality you need self discipline to do hard, reflective tasks.

I made two and a half blog posts for this site and then promptly forgot about it; or more likely blocked it out since it was a huge pressure source for myself.

I started going to therapy in the summer of 2022. Which is something I have been grateful for since. I finally started figuring out why I was lacking self discipline and clearing up the weirdness in my mental health. As it turns out, adjusting from student to adult life is hard. Extra hard when you add in missing 2 years worth of milestone markers and adjustment time to a global pandemic.

All that being said, it turns out therapy, time, and more-than-expected hard reflection helps you become a much happier and healthier person! Who actually can be creative and driven. That’s the Maggie that is speaking to you now. A Maggie who feels confident in her self, her relationships, and her love of creating.

My creations have come a long way. It used to be writing, video editing or the results of many hours in Photoshop. Now it tends to be in graphs and tables or on a serving platter.

The intention of this site is now to express myself in whatever form that be.

I plan to post food updates, mood boards, spill-my-guts diary entries, and whatever else my heart desires.

Here’s to love and eating good, all the time.

Love, Maggie
