hi, I’m Deirra.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply and madly in love with writing.
As a kid, I’d spend hours journaling, writing poetry, short fantasy stories, and novel-length fan fictions for my LiveJournal and Buzznet followers. I made my own magazines on my old desktop computer, and in school I volunteered for anything that involved writing. But as I grew up, writing became less about fun and more about college assignments and professional work. Even when I started blogging, it was focused on my tech career. Like so many people, I stopped being creative.
At the top of this year, I decided to pick up some old hobbies again. It started with record collecting and DJing (I love music more than writing, lol — more on that later). From there I got back into journaling, and then late one night, I got the idea to start a lifestyle blog — a space to write about my hobbies, my adventures, and the things I’ve been thinking about as I approach my mid-30s.
So that’s what this is. My little corner of the internet where I’ll share what I’m listening to, what I’m reading, and what I’m figuring out about life on this side of 30. Some posts will be essays, some will be lists, some will just be me thinking out loud about a song or a book or a Sunday afternoon well spent.
If any of that sounds like your thing — I’m really glad you’re here.
