Cheers! I think I deserve it. It's been light years since I got the random idea to start a blog, 4 years to be exact. I won't lie, fear took over immediately after my official bloggin decision and my idea quickly came to an abrupt halt with a few sporadic boosts of confidence here and there. None of that was good enough for me to actually put my plan into action and it took me the whole four years to understand why. I'll get more into that later but there is one very important takeaway:
Fear is a mofo. And unless you're prepared to kick mofo's ass, you'll stay stuck forever.
Ain't that the truth?! Four years and a pandemic later I am stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually and I'd like to think I did in fact kick mofo's ass. There is so much I want to share with you. Writing has always been an outlet for me since I was a teenager writing for the high school newspaper. Every creative knows that when you lose your motivation, you often lose your passion and for awhile I was completely lost. Again, more on that later.
For now, I'd like to keep things fluffy and say
WELCOME TO CANDIDLY PARKER.
In a world that rewards fake and phony (and I ain't necessary mad at it, get ya coins), this is a space you can come to be absolutely real. I'll be as candid as possible while sharing my personal thoughts, introducing you to some pretty incredible humans, and all that falls in between. What's the motivation? My life has been positively changed by simple conversations with regular people. This led me to better health, a good career, and confidence to go after whatever my heart desires. Sounds corny, but it's the absolute truth and I hope I can pass the torch to at least one person, that's enough to make this blog worth it.
So here it is. I won't hold back in any of my posts and I encourage you to comment and do the same. I want to hear from you! I'm patting myself on my back as I type this. I'm so damn proud of myself. I'll leave you with some words you will ready often,
"Grab a drink and enjoy!"
Candidly yours,
-Parker
