Who the hell are you, girl?!

Hey!

My name is Dominika, or you can call me Domenique, and I have been here for several days so far. Well… Maybe a dozen or so. During all those days, I have been gathering myself countless times to sit down in front of my laptop and write something about me. Every time I did that, I crumbled a little inside. It is said that the first step is always the hardest and in my case, this rule works perfectly. I always had a problem with introducing myself, that’s for sure.

For example, I perfectly remember that day when I went to a new school, it was my first day there, and it was time to introduce myself. My teacher ordered each student to stand in front of the whole class and say a few introducing words. Some of my classmates were so good in doing this, introducing seemed to be so easy for them as if they had many years of experience in this. And what about me? Well, as I said, it wasn’t that easy. Pressure, stress, my shyness, and also anxiety did their work. In addition, how can you summarize your whole life in just a few sentences, all those things that I experienced, thousands of thoughts that flew over my head, who I was and what I wanted from life? I stammered something totally meaningless at that moment and with a shameful red face, I returned to my sit. Since then, a lot of time has passed and even though the problem with introducing haven’t disappeared, I will do my best now.

I am 25 years old, but this will change soon. I am a graphic design student and an owner of a crazy doggo. I am also a roommate and the only woman in the team in my work. I am a dreamer, a friend, a little romantic, and a huge fan of all kinds of rock music, white chocolate and jellies. I have so many interests. I can’t limit myself to just one hobby when there are so many interesting things to do and to learn in this world! I know that there are some things that I like to do more than the others, and some things to which I have more talent, but I will leave it for another topic.

Why am I here? I have a feeling that this is the perfect place to share your thoughts, passions, dreams, and even fears without all this whole internet hate. In my teenage years, I used to stubbornly write in a diary in which I poured a myriad of stories from my life. Why, then, would I keep it all only for myself? What’s more, a few months ago, there was this moment in my life when I realized that I stopped being happy, that something, somewhere went wrong. I understood that for the past months I wasn’t really “the real me”. I stopped being that ever-smiling, confident and happy girl. I had to go a few decisions back and start changing my life for the better. And here I am, writing this post! I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but finally, I have begun to see that everything is going in the right direction.

What will I write about? Mainly about my life, I think (or maybe not only), about my passions, and thoughts. I will tell you a story about my dog, about making your dreams come true, and about not giving up. I want to live a full life, appreciating every day and every little moment. And I hope that I can infect you with my optimism! And if any of you get something out of this gibberish, it will be my little-huge success.

So… Let the story begin!!
