I must admit, this excites me more than it should. I'm so eager and willing to share my life, my experiences, my opinions and reviews, music, and of course what generally makes me happy. You may think, "Isn't that what social media is for?" Well, yes of course. But I am actually a very private person who isn't for plastering my personal life on a wall for eight hundred strangers to see. Besides, who doesn't like their own space?
It may be wise to pleasantly introduce myself. My name is Danita, and at the moment I live with my wonderful grandmother Bella and Toby 'the house-dog' (a Harry Potter reference.) We live a quiet and simple life in a small town called Inuvik. I haven't always lived here, I actually grew up in a smaller town called Aklavik, which is a 20 minute flight from this place and I've been thinking lately how nice it would be to go home . . . My childhood was quite magical growing up in Aklavik and I have only fond memories of that place until the passing of my dad which I now accept was a traumatic experience and I still deal with it today. I am just another child who had to grow up way too fast and I am still in the grieving process of losing someone so close to me. Recovery, my friends and it's a long process . . .
Onto a brighter topic, I am planning a trip to Aklavik in TWO weeks and I am so excited! Aklavik is where I feel most myself and I haven't been feeling like myself in 2 years which is the last time I was home. I will update you on my trip and experience and I guess that is it - my first blog entry. This is where my adventure begins . . .
