Welcome to Mildly Chaotic!
Dear Reader,
Welcome to Mildly Chaotic! Hi, my name’s Jasper and I’m a mentally ill, ex-alcoholic weirdo with a lot on my mind (as you can imagine). I decided to name my blog Mildly Chaotic because it’s a pretty on-the-nose description of my brain. I’d like to think I keep it under control most of the time, for instance, I’d assume most people around me think I’m fairly put together. While that may be true on the outside, on the inside it looks a lot more like a squirrel trying to not get run over by rush hour traffic (a lot of bobbing and weaving, spazzing, and occasionally getting bodied by a semi).
On a more vulnerable note, I created this blog as a means for understanding myself better as well as the mysteries and challenges of simply existing. I’ve been through a lot in my short time on this planet, and let’s just say I have a lot of questions I’d like to at least get closer to answering. I’ve always loved analyzing my life with friends, sharing perspectives, and getting a deeper grasp on what’s important, what isn’t, and what skills and tools there are to make life just a little bit more peaceful. I’m hoping that this blog can be a place for that on a wider scale. I know that I’ve barely scratched the surface of understanding myself, let alone the world around me, but I’m hoping sharing my thoughts could lead to finding new perspectives and knowledge that would otherwise be out of reach.
I know that’s thinking much bigger than a tiny blog that likely only my mom will read (hi momma!), but hey, a girl can dream. Whether you’ve come to read simply out of curiosity, purely to judge and criticize, or share your thoughts and perspectives with me, I welcome you all. I hope you get exactly what you’re looking for and I can’t wait to hear from you. Happy to have you here reading Mildly Chaotic.
P.S. Don’t forget to sign up for the monthly newsletter and check out the other pages on the site like the Library where I will have monthly recommendations for books, podcasts, and more. Also, for any other ex-drinkers or current drinkers considering making a lifestyle change, check out Sober Society and sign up for that newsletter to receive specific sobriety-related content every month. I hope you enjoy my blog!
Sincerely,
Jasper Breslin - Mildly Chaotic
