Hi Everyone! My name is Imola. I'm from Hungary but currently I'm living in France. We're traveling around so I don't have an exact location but if there's anyone here from France I'd be happy to connect! 😀
My commitment here is to show up for myself in my best version every time - whatever that looks like that day, and learning to accept it.
I work in forestry, so my life is really unpredictable and depending a lot on the job (from not finding contract to working 10h a day), but I still want to do something for myself. So on work days my commitment is at least 30min yoga to stretch, and on non-working days to show up and build that strength and stamina I need for my work and staying as active as possible. I'm excited to be part of this community, especially because I was following the salty club from the shadows for so long, until a couple of months ago, when I signed up - as part of showing up for myself and not leaving things for tomorrow. 💖Always choose you, for you.

I write since I learned by myself when I was 4. I used to show them to adults, and even won a writing competition when I was 7.
But one of my teachers completely shamed me for writing fiction in front of my whole class - she made fun of me and my work, asking things like do I think anyone will ever publish something like this? Who would want to read this? I was maybe 9...
I started to think I am not good enough, and felt ashamed that I kept writing short stories, essays and poems but in secret and hid them in books, in the back of my drawer and under my bed so no one ever can find it.
I write articles about travel, food and lifestyle for magazines, blogs and websites but it was more like a hobby and a side gig. I only started to share these kind of personal works (what I call my real writing or my art), 25 years later.
I was terrified to hit the share button first, but then I felt so liberated. When I received the first comments I felt like I am finally doing the right thing.
