Nice to meet you,
Oh hey we meet again! Welcome back to the blog. I’m sure I’ll come up with a name for it eventually…
I’m showing up starting this imperfectly, I hope thats okay.
Now before I start spamming your inbox weekly with all these tips and tricks on how to make your life better, let’s get to know each other a little bit first!
My name is Rynika (ruh-knee-ka). Don’t ask me what it means or where it comes from, neither my parents nor I have ANY clue!
I like to make up my own defenition and say my name means unique. I think that’s pretty on brand. (And it’s a unique enough name that I’ll NEVER find it on a key chain🙄 thanks a lot mom).
Anyways on the topic of family, one thing you should know about me off the bat is that I lost my father suddenly and unexpectedly to a heart attack a month before my college graduation.
After such an unforeseen and heartbreaking loss, I genuinely just can’t look at life the same again. I know my dad is in Heaven partying with Jesus🤍 but the death of a loved one really wakes you up to how short our lives really are…
And I don’t know about you, but the cycle of…birth > school > work for the rest of your life > retire when you’re too old to move or enjoy life anymore > die…. is a really unsettling cycle to me!
I want to absolutely love my life to the fullest! I want to find little ways to make every boring regular mundane day a day full of vivid joy, peace, and contentment.
Obviously every day won’t be the greatest day ever! I simply just want to be content with every day that I am given. Bare minimum.
That’s what fuels me.
That, and the fact that I desperately want to do big things, in honor of my dad. He did SO many big things…he made such a deep impact on thousands of people’s lives and hearts. I hope and pray I can make him proud with my unconventional silly little blog that probably only my mom, my high school nemesis, and a few curious people from college are reading.
Do something big one day…that’s what keeps me going.
That’s why I’m up at 3:45am writing this dang blog post. Because the words just popped in my head and came tumbling out.
And small baby steps towards doing something big, well that’s progress. And right now progress is all I’m shooting for!
I’m sure people will think I’m a fool, a failure, a wanna be. And yes. That does hurt me and make me insecure. I’m not Shehulk. I have feelings!
But I love art, I love writing, and I love life. And nothing anyone else says or thinks is going to keep me from trying my best:)
Wow guys this was way more vulnerable and deep than I was intending this “get to know me” post to be LOL!
Well I guess you reallllly know the inter-workings of my brain now😂 (so hey bff, we’re close now;)
Well a few more FUN things about me and then I’ll let you get back to your surely busy life! (Don’t worry, we’re gonna work on fixing that;)
I love margaritas (salt rim plz✨)
Kinda lowkey a cat lady 😻 (my cat is named Sofi she is my pride and joy and she looks like a cow)
I’m also lowkey a closet nerd…talk Marvel to me alllll day baby!😍
I have really obscure hobbies that include rollerskating, salsa dancing, working too many hours, and kite flying
I have a very uncommon learning disability that makes anything with numbers, math, money, dates, time, rights, lefts, directions, spelling…the list goes on. Just basically makes LIFE unnecessarily complicated and hard. How have I made it this far in life you ask?
Barely. Just barely. 😂
Okay well that’s enough chit chat for today. The next blog post will be less emotional and more informational, I PROMISE!!
xoxo
Rynika
