Hello Everyone!
So, I have been thinking about starting a blog for a very long time. I have always been fascinated with words and have wondered what it would be like to share mine with people. If I’m being completely honest, I have no idea where I want to take this little project, I just know the push to do something new came from being stuck at home during quarantine (this is the first and last time you hear me say that horrible word). I do know my main goal for this blog is to provide a safe space for people to learn not only from where I have found success but also in places where I have made a ton of mistakes. I also want a space to keep myself accountable and where I can transparently demonstrate the life I want to lead. I want to share my faith, document my progression, and promote Christ and His grace.
Okay, so a little bit about myself. At the time I am starting this whole endeavor I am 21 years old, and I am sitting on the couch in my childhood home. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I have so much love for my city and maybe one day I can share what it was like growing up here. I was homeschooled for my entire elementary, middle, and high school careers, 1. because my parents wanted to be completely and wholly responsible for my education, and 2. because I was dancing way too much to be tied down in a school building from 8am-3pm. I am the oldest of four children. I have a younger sister and two little brothers and I’m sure I will be discussing them very soon, haha. My mom and dad have been married for 26 years this July, and I know I am terribly blessed to be in a house with two parents that are happily married. We are a pretty typical Christian family, but are definitely not boring. We attend church regularly every Sunday and Wednesday. I’ve gone to countless Vacation Bible Schools and youth camps and conferences and what not. I am forever grateful for my parents instilling faith in me and God has really gotten me through a lot of things.
For anyone who may care, I am an enneagram 2 wing 1, haha. I have taken the Myers & Briggs test multiple times and each time I have gotten something different, but most recently I was labeled as an ISFP-T. My primary love language is Physical Touch with Quality Time coming in at a close second. I have always been interested in personality traits and learning more about how my own brain works, and maybe that can be something that I talk about in the future.
These “Day in the life” posts probably won’t actually be a legitimate day in my life, but more likely a long string of thoughts I have on a topic. I just thought the name was cute so “it is what it isss”. I want to add other sections as well, but I will do that later when I actually figure out how to work this, lol. Thank you for coming on this journey with me! I am truly excited about this and I look forward to posting more soon.
Much love,
Bells <3
