Writing your first blog post really is daunting. I sat on my couch with my iPad in my lap for the longest time just thinking about how I should start this out. I wrote about a million drafts before this one, but I’m calling it right now that this will be the last.
This isn’t my first attempt at starting a blog, but it is the first time that I’ve had enough courage to dive in and actually write a post with the intention of publishing it. Impostor syndrome has gotten the best of me every time, with my inner critic convincing me that no one would care about anything I had to say. But even if that’s true, why does it matter? Sure, I’m doing this to share my words with others, but it being a diary wouldn’t be too bad either. Life is way too short to not document it and appreciate all the little moments.
If you’re reading this you probably follow me on Instagram, so I’m sure you already know a bit about my life, but there are so many aspects that I don’t really talk about. So without further ado… Here‘s some more about me!
For starters, I’m 19 years old and I currently attend The University of North Texas. I’m a part of the Public Health program and I absolutely love it. Right now I’m on track to graduate a year early and I’m really proud of all the work I’ve done thus far. I’m also Pre-Physician Assistant and I’m so excited to see where my educational journey takes me. I’ve always been passionate about going into the medical field and I truly can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.
As for my life outside of school, I’ve been having a lot of fun with social media lately. I don’t consider myself an influencer by any means, but I’ve been blessed with some really fun brand partnerships and I’m looking forward to doing more in the future. I started doing this after I was picked to be a preset ambassador for Brittany Merrill (who I absolutely adore) and I just love treating my Instagram like a little digital scrapbook. I also love shopping, baking, journaling, collaging, and of course, writing! Crystals, tarot, and astrology all have a special place in my heart as well, and I love exploring my spirituality. I used to be a lot more productive and creative prior to quarantine and all of the chaos that followed, but I’m finally starting to get back into everything and it’s been so refreshing. I’m hoping this blog will push me even further and help me fall back in love with writing.
Of course the people in my life mean the world to me and I wouldn’t be here without them. I’ve been dating my boyfriend Stone for nearly three years now and I’m so thankful for him. He makes my life so much brighter and I can’t wait to keep making memories with him. There’s nothing like being in a relationship with your best friend. My chosen family is wonderful and I love sharing my life with them. I’m also a cat mom to a crazy little guy named Apollo — he always keeps life interesting!
Anyways, I just wanted to expand a little bit on everything you can find on my About Me page. I can’t wait to see where this blog goes and I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say in the future :)
Oh and don’t forget to subscribe to email notifications so you’re the first to know when I post new content! I’m not aiming to post on a certain schedule right now, but I hope to do it semi-regularly. Let me know if you have anything you’d like to see from me — I’d love some suggestions!
