Back to where it all started
After what seemed like an eternity to find a name for the blog, and after almost giving up on the whole idea altogether, BecomingNomad seemed to miraculously make sense.
Just as today everybody has become an influencer of some sorts, back in 2015 everyone seemed to have a freaking blog!… and this made finding a COOL name for my very first (and still my only one) such a pain.
Just Another Blog;
I wrote, you wrote, we wrote;
She wondered;
Blog be thy name;
All taken, can you believe it… I was so desperate that was considering
“A blog with no name”
….but that was taken too!
My two closest girl friends and I were actually going to start blogging some months before – Singlings | The Diary – However, that failed before it even started. We were too caught up in wrecking our brains, trying to find the right topics to discuss and how to go about writing a post.
So for my personal blog I decided I’ll just sit in front of my laptop and write without much ‘pre-thinking’…. that prove to be just a big a failure with just 5 posts in 9 years. Urgh, this is the first time I pulled this stat and quite frankly, it sucks! Never kept a diary/ journal in my life. Tried to begin writing a journal numerous times, but I just ultimately never manage to get into that frame of mind. 24 year old me was so hopefully that I would commit to https://jbecomingnomad.blogspot.com/
Why BecomingNomad?
Well, routine and stability were all I was about, it allowed me to be what I then thought was “adventurous” in other aspects, like sports an music. Suddenly home did not feel so comfortable anymore, it felt as though I do not belong. There is this growing need to get out of the house and explore. I was far from being a Nomad, but the thought of Becoming one was just damn exciting.
This is me, when this all started, Summer 2015 …
