WTF am I doing?

a chaotic journey of trying, creating, and learning.

About

Hi, I’m Laura, and I’ve spent most of my life spiraling between interests about 5 at a time. Every time I tried to settle into one thing — one job, one path, one niche — it felt like I was stuffing myself into a box that was never quite good enough. Even if I LOVED it, the second it gets too serious I stop, thinking things like “I don’t only want to do this shit for the rest of my life do I”? or “If I choose that instagram name then I’m stuck with it forever!”. Wtf is wrong with me? can’t I just enjoy something? I’ve been told to “just pick something and stick with it,” but honestly? I love everything. I love learning, creating, traveling, working, and consistently spiraling into an existential crisis while learning how to create and serve a 5 course meal properly (but still not reading the damn recipes, ask my friends). Finally, I spent so much time SEARCHING for a niche to start a business that I just never really started. So here I am STARTING and showing up as just being myself.

This site is my attempt to document the beautiful mess of figuring out life as a multi-passionate wild woman on a quest for meaning, creativity, and maybe a little peace. You’ll find a mix of recipes I actually cooked, art I actually finished (or didn’t), travel logs & recs, job rants, self-growth experiments, and probably more than one post about how hard it is to write posts. I want to practice my writing so that I can finally write that book I’ve been talking about since I was 18. I don’t have the answers, but I am asking the questions (and googling them at 4 a.m.). If you’re also stumbling through life with good intentions and a scattered to-do list, welcome. You’re in the right place.

The Meat

What you’ll be seeing on here….. My entertainment era.

Art and Media

I am an artist through and through. I create visual art through various mixed medias on canvas. I paint big beautiful murals. I enjoy the more recent digital media.

Ideas

I have a lot of ideas. Restaurant concepts, food design, business Ideas, random thoughts, book ideas. But that’s all they stay. Ideas. Help me make them a reality.

Writing

This is obviously a blog, I obviously want to be a writer. I am not sure the direction I will take but I hope you enjoy it. Creative writing, songwriting, fiction, storytelling. Who knows?

Travel

My travel Journeys, and how I can help you travel. I want to dip my toes into being a travel agent and finally work for myself. Do I have what it takes? Debatable.

Cooking

I am kind of a chef. But I do not know what I am doing. It is very chaotic to cook with me. Still kinda wanna be a yacht chef. I hope you enjoy.
