Kara – not only a potato but the potato
Hello!
Over the past year I’ve spent a lot of time thinking and recovering from a difficult 6 years of life. I think being in your 20s is just a constant process of trying new things and pivoting when they don’t work out. You try to chase your dreams, and you get smacked down to the floor a couple times a month, but all you can do is pick yourself up and do it again – hopefully having learned from past failures. Or you just give up on that path and try something new.
For me I still don’t know what dreams I should even chase, so I’m just trying to learn to put myself out there and see what happens.
So, ta-da I made a blog, because I know I like to write so this seems like the best way to do that. I also know I’ve struggled with and am still currently dealing with things that a lot of my peers are also dealing with, so hopefully my ramblings can maybe even make someone else feel less alone.
A quick run down on me:
Why is the name of this the ramblings of a potato?
Well in 7th grade I played a lot of FarmVille and there was a species of potato called the Cara potato. My friends started calling me potato and tator and now all my social media handles are @karathepotato, so it seemed on brand to continue that pattern here.
Who the fuck am I? Great question. Idek. I’m Kara I’m 24 and I’m not sure I’m even literate, but I work in communications and writing and I like to complain and hear myself talk. So bada bing, bada boom, here I am.
