Hi, my name is Shannon.
I go by randomlyranted an pretty much everything.
I have 3 energetic crotch fruits and a loving husband.
Living with adult ADHD, anxiety and various other fun things leads me to be a very random person, sometimes full of chaotic energy, sometimes praying the coffee is strong enough to get me through the day.
When my soul isn't under the crushing pressure of life and keeping 3 small spawn of mine alive, I like to play video games, read, cake decorate, and renovate doll houses. I haven't really had much time or energy for that whilst being an essential worker during a global pandemic, but I occassionally get a chance to play fall guys or COD when a spare moment shows up.
I have a copy of kingdom hearts 3 that calls to me, but I drown it out with coffee, tears, and the sound of the dishwasher for the time being. Sora can wait, but the kids need food and clothes now.
If you have actually read this far, you may have guessed why my handle is randomly Ranted. I go off on a tangent very easily. Tiktok has only short videos, so I stay away from 'trigger topics' which are the topics I have very random strong feelings for, and could go on about forever. There would be no hope. There would never be enough editing to make that 60 seconds long.
Anyways, I was raised in a small town in a cottage country area of Ontario by my father, who sadly passed away in 2016. My mother left us when I was in grade school, and my father worked long hours in construction, custom home building, and home renovation. (he loathed renos)
He fought cancer, made it through all his chemo, and things looked good. I was 5 month pregnant with our 'miracle baby' when a bout of one of the rarest forms of pneumonia took him from us.
I got really sick during that pregnancy, was given the choice to take one of only 3 iron transfusions they had in the area, but I didn't want to rob anyone of that life saving dose, unaware of how truly sick I really was.
I somehow survived that pregnancy and got better, but the weight I gained from being so sick, grieving, and depressed still haunts me to this day a few years later.
I thrive on comedy, sarcasm, coffee, green grass (which I don't get to see for 6 months here in Canada) and hold on to a small member of hope for better days for me and my children and husband.
I long for a chance to see the world. To see and experience amazing adventures for myself and my family. But, realistically, my current dream is to be able to pay full price for meat without flinching, to live away from poverty.
I have truly enjoyed the creative outlet that tiktok has provided. In a world full of fake personas and people full of malice and internet bullying, it is refreshing to be our imperfect selves and be accepted anyways. I had enough bullying in my childhood, I don't want to go back to high school as an adult. No thank you.
This probably gives you more than a little incite into my personality and past, so I will leave it at this.
This is how I have randomly ranted today.
