Starting My Blogging Journey: An Introduction

Hello, to everyone who made it here. I am so happy you have joined me. I’m not sure where this blog will go or what will become of it, but as I pondered my next move in life *adventure, I thought, why not document it? Who knows, maybe I can quit my day job and lounge around on daybeds under the sun, sipping mimosas while I watch the surfers catch their next wave—I had already joined them, of course.
With that, here I am, attempting to create my umpteenth blog—I am not joking; it’s probably around seven at this point in my life. Initially, I wanted to name this blog Curious Cassidy, reflecting on my ever-changing hobbies in life, but then I thought about how I never finish most of these—blogging being one of them. We will see where this goes or how long I hold on to the hobby of blogging.
Most of my website (as of March 12th at 4:15 p.m.) is AI-generated. Not the writing—I leave that to me—but rather the images, headers, etc. I needed something simple and put together to stop focusing on that. You see, I spend so much time doing the supplemental parts of activities that I get tired before I do the actual damn thing itself!
Take painting, for instance—I have about seven or eight paint-by-numbers waiting in my art bag while I am on my third. I’m surprised I finished the first two, but being very bored helps. I tend to buy all the products, websites, courses, and apps before diving into an activity. I know… I have wasted a lot of money.
I always thought, well, at least I’m trying things. And you know what? I am trying, so props to me for that. But it still doesn’t mean I can typically finish anything, so eventually, it is wasted. I’ve spent all this money to learn how to get a good setup for whatever activity I am doing—without actually doing the activity.
Another example: I’ve bought two separate personal training courses. Back when I was into fitness, I thought it would be a great idea to get into teaching other people. I probably got halfway through the first five chapters each time before I stopped. I’m not even going to tell you how much money I spent on those… it was a lot.
One thing I have kept a love for all these years has been writing. I’m not the best, as I have been out of practice for a long time. I kept journals over the years, sometimes going an entire year without writing. I considered translating those to a blog but thought better of sharing my deep personal thoughts online. Although you might be entertained, I am hopeful for the future and would rather not have my mother read my deepest, darkest secrets.
However, one thing I have going for me is that I will never fail to make my life an adventure. I may have a preexisting condition that never allows me to finish most of the projects I start. Still, I do have a knack for getting extraordinarily bored and seeking something different from the day-to-day… that’s probably why I can’t finish things.
From backpacking through Europe, teaching English in Brazil, ziplining in Costa Rica, and kitesurfing in Hawaii, to not only gaining a pilot’s license but enough licenses where I could probably find a job if I really, really tried—I have had quite an adventurous lifestyle thus far in my nearly 28 years. So, if there is one thing I never fail at, it’s making sure I am living my life to the fullest and exploring every corner of the planet, be it through flying, hiking, biking, paddleboarding, camping—you get the point.
I guess I am trying to tell you that this is what my blog is about. It’s about all of my adventures while also showing the parts in between them—the boring parts of my life, the failures and sadness (we will keep that to a minimum), but most of all, the super cool things I do.
I hope to inspire at least one person—maybe not—but let’s dream big… I really want to quit my day job.
