Mith

is actually not my real name. My real name is something much more “basic millennial white girl,” which is what I am. I’m also a convert to Traditional Catholicism from atheism. Born and raised in the southeast US (i.e. the best part of the US) where I still reside in a pleasant little suburb with my beloved husband and four kids whom I homeschool. All of which sounds really sweet and nice and normal, doesn’t it?, but, I’m actually quite weird (see below), and don’t seem to fit in too well with other Catholic mommies, or anywhere tbh, which sense of “not belonging”/“not fitting in” is kind of a theme of my blog and life. Therefore, I’ve created my own little niche, which is: this blog.

This Blog
is version “4.0” because I’ve tried multiple times to keep a blog over the years; in fact, the original MiTHology was a Livejournal way back in the day (lol). I have no actual expertise and there is no particular reason why you should read this blog. Why then do I keep on blogging? To scream into the void, I guess? To just think out loud? To experiment with vulnerability? In hopes of meeting friends?? tbh I’m not even sure, but here we are!

Topics I like to talk about include but are not limited to

Catholicism, random moral quandaries that I wonder about, life with avoidant personality disorder (AVPD), recovery from alcoholism & eating disorders, pregnancy and parenting, movies & tv (especially baking shows!), and music. I also like to sort things into top ten lists for fun, and sometimes post a bit of fiction if I’m feeling unusually bold.

If you’d like to communicate with me, or if you’d like the password for pw-protected posts, please feel free to send an email (but ONLY if it’s nice; senders of mean emails will be ignored, blocked, and prayed for). I’m also kind of on pinterest.
