ABOUT ME
Hey! I’m Maria, a simple, honest, silly, introverted, artsy person forever experiencing an identity crisis while singing along to Peter Gabriel’s Big Time.
After a failed attempt of moving across country to Portland, Oregon in late 2014, I began this blog to keep myself busy and share bits of my life and interests while getting into the groove of adjusting back in my home state of New York. I spent a good chunk of 2015 traveling and getting artsy & crafty. Since November 2015, I’ve been taking it one day at a time working and livin’ it up in the city – the big big city. I learned that things sometimes take longer than planned, but you just gotta keep going.
✚ I like my arts, my music, and time to myself. I have too many thoughts circling my head and this blog has become the perfect outlet to share my thoughts and interests while being creative and slightly poking fun. More importantly, it’s become a place for me to challenge my amateur photography skills, enhance my writing, encourage sketching, finish projects, and to keep on crafting.
✚ I love learning new things and I have a knack for finding everything I need via Google.
✚ My favorite color is plum, I prefer secondary colors over primaries, my favorite complementary pair is red and green, and my favorite color combination is salmon and seafoam green. But all colors make me happy.
✚ I’ve been working full time at a subscription box company in NYC.
ABOUT ODDBALL ERA
In this current age we live in, I think it’s interesting looking at our environment and what has become the social norms. Everything has become accessible via technology, yet there’s this tension of moving forward while trying not to let go of the past, and I think it’s fascinating watching this struggle.
I find myself in the middle of this struggle trying to keep up with modern advances while having difficulty getting past the physical materialistic things I grew up with.
Here I am documenting thoughts, interests, and inspirations (mostly mine) as I am an active member of this current generation – taking in and appreciating the new with a big spoonful of nostalgia.
I also want to fight the good fight against the short-attention-span reputation our generation has become known for and share my take on being a young adult getting by in this modern era.
