Hi, I’m Christine.

I started this blog in 2018 after I heard a quote by the late Joseph Campbell.

He said, “If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”

His words struck a chord in me. As if he knew exactly what my heart was trying to tell me.

Before that, I felt so lost but I didn’t let it show. I didn’t think that I was in a position to complain about feeling lost because I had everything I could ever want and need at that point in my life.

The feeling didn’t go away though, and I started having daily anxiety and overwhelm because of it.

When I couldn’t take it anymore, I started searching the internet and came across Campbell’s work.

I saw his interview, The Power Of Myth with Bill Moyers, where he said that famous quote.

I knew that I had to follow my bliss after watching it. I had to go on my own hero’s journey to figure out why I felt so lost.

And why I would distract myself with TV, expensive trips, shopping, and endless scrolling through the internet & social media.

I knew that if I didn’t, the daily stress would keep going up or worse.

So I started journaling because it was something I did as a kid and really enjoyed.

I actually started a diary in middle school. It was my safe space. The place where I could vent and put my most private thoughts.

That is, until somebody read my diary without my permission. I stopped for a really long time and would pick it up, on and off again, over the years.

After my failed attempts to journal regularly, I decided to do it again. I started writing just a few lines a day until I built up a daily habit.

It helped me gain clarity and over time, opened doors I couldn’t have imagined before.

Like Joseph Campbell said, follow your bliss and you will find the doors that lead to where you belong.

I am in a much better place now. I know who I am, have a stronger sense of self, and live my life with more purpose, meaning & joy.

This journey taught me a very important lesson: the quickest way to know yourself is to love all of you, flaws and all.
