About Me – Yes, That Karen 😏
Hi! I’m Karen. And before you ask—yes, that’s my real name.
No, I don’t want to speak to the manager. Unless the manager has snacks. Then maybe. 🍟
I’m 31 years old, and I fully intend to stay 30 forever though. Mentally? Somewhere between “tired nurse who just got off a 12-hour shift” and “feral child when my favorite song comes on.”
By day, I’m a nurse in the operating room—aka, I literally hold lives in my hands, which is wild considering I can barely keep houseplants alive. I love my job, even if it tends to hijack my free time and social life (shoutout to all my cancelled plans ✌️).
During the lockdown days of COVID, I started fostering cats… which is how I met the real queen of my life: Luna. She moved in permanently in December 2021, and I’ve been paying rent in her apartment ever since. She's got attitude, elegance, and zero respect for personal space. Basically, my role model.
I live in Belgium—that "hellhole," according to a certain ex-president with a very orange glow. But honestly? It’s got charm, waffles, and excellent fries. I’m good here.
This blog is my little rebellion against the autopilot life. A place to document all the messy, magical, ridiculous things I’m doing to feel alive again—one bucket list item at a time.
If you’re into chaotic energy, big dreams, tiny wins, and cats with superiority complexes, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to the madness 💫
