About Me — Linda

Hi! I write about mental health, travel and self-improvement!

My name is Linda. Now what?

I stared at this blank page for a little while. I didn’t realize it was so difficult to write about myself!

Should I dive into the nitty-gritty details of my childhood?

I’m pretty sure people want to hear how I climbed on the stove and burned my toe. Yes, I was a weird kid.

After contemplating my approach for exactly one day and one night, I thought I’d split the article into sections.

I assume most people won’t read a short novel about a quiet person with a mundane life.

That brings me to my first point.

I AM BORING

My life is very plain. There is not much action.

The definition of a good Friday night is staying at home.

Discovering a new grocery store is super exciting to me.

ONE WORD TO SUM IT UP

Introvert. I’m an introvert — most of the time. I prefer simplicity and quiet surroundings.

But I can be quite the talker if you hit on a topic of interest. Then you just can’t shut me up. If we are texting, I won’t stop until you do.

Also, it must be a natural progression to get me to talk.

If you try to force me to “speak up”, then it’s over.

You’ll never hear a peep out of me again.

LINDA’S FAVOURITE THINGS

In no particular order, here are some of my favourite things. All of my spare time addresses these passions.

Travelling — Hopefully, my next destination is Norway or New Zealand.

Here’s Why Iceland is the Best Place I’ve Been

I was shocked.

Being active — I like to walk around or putter about the house. I generally don’t prefer to sit down.
Badminton — I play three times a week without fail. It keeps my energy levels up. The more intense the game, the better. Bring on the sore muscles!
Pets — Dogs, cats, elephants, lions, rabbits — just name it. I love animals!
Gardening — I love to pull weeds! Seriously! It is therapeutic!
Yoga — I obtained my yoga teacher certificate. Never taught a class yet.
Hiking — Hikes galore! I especially like steep inclines and muddy shoes.
Writing — It’s a newfound passion. And the reason why I am a Medium member! I like to write about mental health, travel and self-improvement topics.

Eating — Some of my favourite foods are fries, Ruffles Sour Cream and Onion chips, Lay’s Ketchup chips, Ruffles All Dressed chips, noodles and red onions. Did I mention that I liked to eat chips?

LINDA’S LEAST FAVOURITE THINGS

Shopping carts left smack in the middle of the aisle. No owner in sight. I mean, who does that?

Ok, on a more serious note. My least favourite things are spicy food, cleaning the shower stall and being late.

I am serious, I don’t like those things!

LINDA’S TYPICAL DAY

My schedule is the same, day after day. I kid you not.

After I log off on workdays, I engage in said favourite activities.

Weekends are nice. It includes all of the said favourite activities again. Plus a bonus trip to the grocery store. Extra bonus if it’s a grocery store that I’ve never visited before.

When the pandemic decides to leave us alone, weekends will consist of hiking, travelling, camping, or meeting with friends.

And there you go. In less than two minutes, you’ve already come to understand me pretty well. Feel free to leave me some comments!
