About Me
Welcome
Hi, welcome! I'm Ariana. I am a Latinx woman, she/ her pronouns, seeking to sort through the piles of thoughts in my mind. I have been writing creatively for a long time now. I have the library of short essays saved in my cell phone to prove it. Sadly, the first and only personal piece I published online since I was a teen was for an online dating profile. I hope to change that with this blog.
I have been on a healing journey for the last few years. For a long time I was living life in a zombie state: going through the familiar motions with no desire to change or grow. I now understand how the dreams I had for myself got thrown out and the fire inside me almost burned out.
I have a degree in English and recently received my Masters of Social Work. I hope to work with youth and serve the community. Part of the training I got in school emphasized the importance of self care to prevent burn out. One way of doing self care is doing things you love and for me that has always been writing.
I will be exploring topics like the Mother Wound, Generational Trauma, Capitalism, Mental Health, and Social Justice. I will also be writing creatively and posting original thoughts regarding my personal journey. I love reading, writing, animals, art, movies, and music and I will also be sharing that aspect of my life.
Brené Brown once said, “You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort, but you cannot choose both.” This became the mantra of my life as I navigated school and chose courage in the face of the unknown.
My hope is that by sharing my voice I remind you that you are worthy and that your voice is valid. You matter and you have always been enough. Choose courage, you deserve the life you've always dreamed of.
