Welcome To The Shit Show

Welcome…my name is Isabella. I’m a 25 year old currently residing in Melbourne, Australia.

I have played around with the idea of creating a space for my rambles online for many years now. In June of 2022 I came to the realisation that I wanted to write. I wanted to share something of my reality because I saw so many people online with relative stories to mine; so what’s one more 20 something writing about their experiences on the internet.

Filling my days as an unemployed reveller, I began writing a self-help book for people in their twenties. Throughout my venture into the sad reality of me, myself and I (as a hapless, hopeless romantic), I began to read one of my now favourite Sally Rooney novel’s “Beautiful World, Where Are You'“. To which I began to imagine a character like myself in her twenties; but instead of my half assed attempts at a fun take on my life, I decided to write about a woman who will live a much more outrageous reality than I ever will - so instead of a self proclaimed biography of sorts, I have turned it into a fictitious romantic coming of age novel.

So as well as writing a novel, I have began writing a short film. To which the details of that will unfold as I make a more foundational attempt to justify the subjective reality of mental health and how it affects relationships with the people you love.

I also want this blog to be a place where I share my passions for fashion, baby. It will coincide with my youtube channel to which I will be posting vlogs, fashion related content and whatever else might be of interest to myself and my audience.

Admissions of a 20 Something was a title that popped into my head one day and hasn’t left since, so the significance there isn’t much more than that. Yep, I’m just admitting things a as 20 something, that’s about as deep as that rabbit hole goes.

So come hang, come chat and admit to some shit that we’ve all done at one point in our lives, and if we haven’t yet then maybe we can learn from each other of how to go about it for when it does come the time.
