The very first one…

As a child, I loved the movie Mary Poppins. I loved the music and the animation mixed with real life and I loved the positive takeaways from that movie. As an adult, I have become more in love with this movie because of the life lessons you can take away from the movie. Bear with me, and I’ll explain…

I was struck down with covid for the first time after escaping it. Feeling ill, I was laid on the sofa watching Mary Poppins Returns. Each time I watch this film, or the original I always come away with something new. Last time it was, “Nothing is gone forever, only out of place.” and how maybe reconnecting with a friend could be a good thing. Sitting on the sofa, feeling ill, the phrase towards the end of the movie, popped at me:

“TODAY or NEVER, That’s my motto.”

I’ve been thinking about starting a new blog for a whilst. My first one wasn’t a success or felt like me. For this one, I wanted a blog post that felt like me. Feeling better, I planned out what I wanted it to be like. The blog posts I would share and write about. I’m in a different place from where I was last time. One thing stuck and that was I wanted a little piece of the internet that belongs to me. I find it hard to share what I think, because of my mental health diagnosis and the thought process, “Well if they don’t like it, then I should not like it, therefore I don’t like it!” I know it’s silly because we live in a world where we can like anything, love anyone, and be our true selves. I still feel like I can’t love who I want to love or enjoy the things I want to enjoy. This blog post is something for me and what I like to do with my time. I’m taking control and sharing with the world what I like.

This leads me to today, and me writing my first blog post. I’m wondering will anyone read it? Will it be just my place on the internet where I can write my thoughts? I’m starting this today and giving it my best shot, saying “TODAY or NEVER, That’s my motto.”

Thanks for reading, and remember…
