Hello and welcome to my complicated world! You can call me Elle. I’m a whimsical, unique, caring, slightly introverted and charismatic, and somewhat animated type of person with versatile interests. There’s so many sides to me you would think I that I was a Gemini. Lol. 🙂 I’m also a former college grad that seems to get a little lost in the world. I’ve been a student majority of my whole life, and I’m finally starting a new chapter. To be honest college was not a breeze for me. It took way over 4 years for me to graduate, and it took over two years before I got my masters. It feels so weird not referring to myself as a student anymore. Now I’m starting a new chapter in life. I started this blog because I know there’s others like me, and I want to let them know that they’re not alone. It’s hard feeling lost at this age, but I am determined to make it. As the saying goes: “I just gotta make it!”
       Lately I’ve been going back to feeling extremely tired again. I’ve been pretty much dropping the ball the past few weeks. A part of me feels like it’s the Christmas season and I should give myself a break. I’ve made some amazing strides in my journey the past few months and it’s okay to … More When the Fire Dwindles . . .
       One thing that is tough for me during the holiday season is trying to keep my diet in check the last 6 weeks of the year. This is the time of year when I stumble. This is the time of year where my diet vanishes. I’ve been doing great up until the end of … More Confessions of a Foodie
         Why do we judge our past selves with today’s wisdom? I heard Pastor Furtick talk about this recently and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. With age comes wisdom and growth, so why are we so hard on ourselves for our past choices/mistakes? Of course, we would do things a little different now, … More Judging Yesterday’s Self with Today’s Wisdom.
Aside from the meaningful things, one thing that inspires me is looking at homes. Even though most of us want wealth and success because we hope to be able to provide for our families, and payback our parents for every sacrifice that they ever made for us. We might want to do something meaningful and … More Instant Motivation
Today I was thinking a lot about who I am and my connections in the past. I always felt like I couldn’t connect with people. It was like I was surrounded by groups, and I didn’t quite fit into any of them. Most of the time I feel like two people in one body. … More The Weirdo and the Introvert
December is coming up and I’m a little excited. It’s something about Christmas time that eases my mind, especially since I left the retail scene. During the years at my old job, I was not thrilled about this time of year. Even though Christmas is supposed to be a joyous holiday, it brought out the … More Christmastime
Today marks the end of the intense week that I mentioned in my last post. Speaking positive and praying has really helped turn this week around. I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, and everything turned out great. It was amazing watching things unfold. I’m going to try to keep it up. I am optimistic … More A Shift into the Positive Mind
This week is an intense week for me, and I hope and pray everything goes well. I’m keeping a positive mindset and I’m visualizing achieving my goals. As a person who suffers with a lot with anxiety, I tend to worry a lot about everything. I’m trying to get my emotions in check and have … More Speak Positive = Think Positive
In previous post I’ve mentioned my anxiety and how I’ve dreaded running into people during this time of my life. Since I finished Grad school, I’ve been feeling like a lost little reindeer trying to find its way to the north pole (I don’t know why I used that analogy, just roll with it. … More Being Anonymous Behind the Mask
For the last few months, I’ve been thinking about taking one of those free college courses that’s been offered during this pandemic. I’ve been contemplating taken one of the business courses where you pay for the certificate only. My only concern is not being able to finish and losing money, since you have to pay … More Thinking About Taking A Free Online Course . . .
