Let it be known first of all that, like many (most? all?) humans, I seem to find myself constantly in a state of flux, a constant state of conversion, perpetually unsettled, always reorienting, always fine-tuning my POV on things (or, as some would put it: I’m just a super flakey, scatterbrained, indecisive overthinker, pathologically cerebral, way too deep in my own head); and thus, as this blog ages, I don’t completely identify with every single thing on it anymore. I don’t necessarily stand by everything I’ve said in all of my older posts. But, nor do I feel completely compelled to purge all the old stuff — not yet, at least. Like I said, constant state of flux. Who knows if this blog will still be here tomorrow. As the meme goes: felt cute, might delete later.
This much is certain though: I’m k mith, or just “Mith:” a 36 year old housewife & homeschooling mom of four small kids, located in the southeastern USA. I’m a convert to Traditional Catholicism, a would-be writer, an armchair philosopher, a sober alcoholic of seven years, an INTJ in MBTI/ILI in socionics, and diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder. Long story short, I don’t seem to fit in anywhere, and never have, which sense of “not fitting in”/”not belonging” is sort of a theme of my life and of this blog. This is where I come to discuss with you, dear reader, whatever’s on my mind, including but not limited to:
life as a TradCath, life as a person with AVPD, life as a mom of littles, & the struggle of being all three at once; random little moral quandaries that keep me up at night; recovery from alcoholism & eating disorders; parenting and pregnancy; books, movies, media, & tv (especially baking competition shows!); and sometimes, music (although, that’s a whole can of worms). 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 would like the password to certain protected posts, please feel free to send an email, I’d love to hear from you. You can also find me on pinterest.
