Why I’m Starting Katie’s Little Chapters

Hi! Welcome to my new blog! My name is Katie and I thought I’d just give a little introduction as to why I wanted to start a blog!

The answer is that I’ve been craving a new creative outlet. Last summer I watercolored, did some amateur hand sewing, and so many other projects of that nature, but they all require space and materials, and now that I’m in college it’s hard to get those things.

Additionally, my dad is a writer so I grew up being really into writing, crafting my own short stories and always being a part of the school’s newspaper team. In high school my writing became very academic and the only personal/fun writing I was doing was writing in my diary. Anyways, I’ve lost my way in writing for fun, and I want to get back to it because it used to bring me a lot of joy!

A small win for me this week was that I had an actually energizing, refueling weekend (stay tuned for the next post on the topic). I got in my cardio (the Stairmaster is no joke, I’d never done it before using the college gym), caught up on everything I procrastinated on like my laundry and homework, and planned out my upcoming week like a functional adult!

But the truth? My current vibe is: pretty. freaking. exhausted. And it’s only Thursday.

So this blog is my little corner to slow down, reflect, and find the creative version of myself again — even if it’s one post (or one tired sentence) at a time.

I hope you’ll tune in again, soon!

Don’t forget that you are the luckiest person in the world and everything always works out for you!
