- About Me: Welcome to Entering Retrograde!
My name is Nina and I’m super excited that you've made it here. As a way to express myself and give myself something positive to look forward to, I'd created my previous blog Living Like Audrey.
It was a blog dedicated to the lifestyles of women who had grace, ferocity, love, kindness, and the confidence to show the world who they were. However, as time went on, I wanted to touch on broader topics that really focused on what I cared about most. Everything from gaming, nerd culture, art, society, and the way we view ourselves to the original intention of Living Like Audrey.
Then there was that gnarly two year gap where I didn't post anything. Realistically, it's just because I didn't have much to say at the time. I took a step back for a while and recent events in politics, society, and simply observing the people around me have led me to think I can turn back to this blog and write more freely. Let's call it an experiment, shall we?
The blog title is Entering Retrograde because I'm a deep believer that you can't know where you're going, can't avoid repeating the same mistakes, unless you know where you've been and can honestly confront that.
I hope you will be able to learn through some of my painful lessons so you won't have to endure them. I also hope that you'll be able to laugh, smile, and feel that fuzzy warmth when something goes well. If anything, at the very least there should be some very interesting life tips and creative projects for you to take on.
Though I adore Audrey Hepburn, Claudette Colbert, Greta Garbo, and many other elegant women, Living Like Audrey was bound to be so much more. But these women never shied away from adversity and neither will I. So what will you find here? Hopefully not a woman wanting to live like Audrey anymore, but a woman excited to live simply as herself. So, Living Like Audrey is no more, at least here. Instead you get a full blast of Nina, as I am.
Beyond that I share insights and lessons I've learned, facing adversity head on, how to overcome or embrace it, and how to just be. Interested in getting in on all of that? Great! Let's get started!
And of course, if there’s ever anything you want to hear about- let me know! I absolutely love hearing from my readers. You can contact me at [email protected]
