Have you ever looked around and thought, “What in the actual heck am I doing with my life?”
Yeah… same. That’s been me. Like, a lot lately. The past couple years have been one long episode of “What Now?” and spoiler alert: I don’t always have the answer.
To put it plainly—your girl has been in a full-blown, midlife identity crisis. (Or as I like to call it: “spiritual rebranding, volume 47.”)
If you’ve been following this page and thinking, “Wait, didn’t this have a different name like two days ago?”… yes. Yes it did. And I’m sorry. Kinda. But also, thank you for sticking around through the chaos of name changes, post switches, and the general rollercoaster that is me trying to figure out who the heck I am.
Truth is: I’ve been burnt out. Like, crispy around the edges. I’ve been praying, journaling, talking to God (and occasionally yelling at the ceiling), and somewhere between the existential dread and the third cup of coffee, I had a realization:
I am a hot mess—but I am your hot mess.
I’ve been trying to find a “new” brand, when in reality, I am the brand. Not because I’m polished or niche or even remotely consistent, but because I’m real. I’m a mom, a Christian, a sister, a Disney nerd, a caffeine-fueled oversharer with too many feelings and not enough storage space on my phone. And I’ve finally come to accept that all of that is more than enough.
So here’s the deal:
No more new pages. No more overthinking. No more trying to separate myself into neat little categories. I’m just gonna be me. Brittany, in all her chaotic glory. The same Brittany who has always shared the highs, the lows, the memes, the meltdowns, and the occasional motivational nugget.
Why? Because I believe stories matter. Because maybe my messy, awkward, still-learning life will make someone else feel seen or a little less alone.
So if you’re here for the ride, thank you. I love you. I appreciate you. And if you’ve been quietly watching me spiral through my quarter-life/third-life/midlife whatever-this-is crisis—thanks for not unfollowing me. You’re the real MVPs.
Let’s keep it real from here on out. Just me. Just life. Just… us.
Love y’all always,
Couldn’t comment on IG. It’s a career book, but may be of interest, called “HalfTime” It’s old. If you can find a copy, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/174111.Halftime (they seem to be out). But meant to be read in mid-40s’. I’ll spoil it, sorry. The past is the past. You look back and either have regrets or you see a wonderful life of memories. If regrets, then change your behaviors now to make those wonderful life of memories in the next half of the game. Ok, there’s more in the book, but that’s what I recall from reading years ago for myself.
Thank you so much! I will have to check it out!
