Hey There!
My name is Majken and welcome to my corner of the vast, vast universe (and the nearly-as-vast internet)!
I was a competitive swimmer and a competitive runner for over ten years, building a love of pushing my body to her limits. For just as long, I was an avid reader, devouring every story I could get my hands on. For about five of those years, I was also secretly a writer, learning to bring my thoughts to paper and trying my own hand at bringing my ideas to life.
I spent all of my time either reading or exercising. These were lifelines to me as I navigated the ever-complex journey that is being a human. College brought these further into an inextricable blend when I majored in English and Communications and spent my precious free time training for half marathons or joining swim teams. My head lived in stories while my body swam and ran and danced and more. My attention was constantly split between seeking myth and seeking muscle.
Voila! My blog was born. This is a lifestyle blog where I write about what is on my mind; this usually whittles down to exercise, stories, writing, crafting, baking, and developing my personal style! I write about the activities I do and the stories I like and I infuse that with the things I learn. This blog is an opportunity to nourish my reverence for everyday life and, I hope, a place of connection for people seeking the same.
Welcome!
A Few Things About Me
- I LOVE the water. Any type. The ocean, lakes, rivers, etc., I love it all. There is no place I feel more at peace.
- My friends and family know a great gift to give me is a new notebook. I used to hoard them, too scared to sully them with my words, but now I love writing in them and am working my way through my collection.
- I almost always wear cute/silly socks. My favorite pair of socks depicts mice rolling large blocks of cheese. Second place, by a very narrow margin, is my pair of socks with cows on them.
- Sunsets! LOVE them! I have more pictures of sunsets on my phone than I can count.
- I looooove talking a long walk during the day and meandering about without direction.
- My favorite dessert would have to be a brownie. A fresh-from-the-oven brownie with a little vanilla ice cream on top? SO GOOD.
- Snoopy! What a guy. Personally I think it is impossible not to love the little guy.
- I love learning to cook new recipes and expanding my skill repertoire in the kitchen!
- I love working my way through a coloring book, it’s like it’s own kind of journal.
- I buy most of my clothes secondhand and love going thrifting!
