Inspired to Write, Terrified to Share

Sharing my thoughts to the public is nerve-wracking, fear-inducing, and all around hard to convince myself to do, but here I am anyway! I've thought of doing this for a long time, from my first blog in a college web course to all of the begging from my friends. It took really wanting to share specific thoughts with the world to finally get here, to finally be inspired as I like to say. I use Facebook and Instagram of course, I even participate in a lot of groups online for various hobbies, but this will be the first place where it is all about me. Maybe I should introduce myself?


I'm Carlene and here is a selfie I took at work, we wear really cute uniforms. I am a 25 year old minion, at least according to that photo. In reality, I am much more than just my age and career. I am a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend, a friend, a voracious reader, a learning cook, a slow runner, a make-up queen, and a Disney fanatic.

I always have an opinion, about everything, and maybe it is time I stop pushing those on Facebook and really share them with people who choose to care. I love reviewing and recommending books, sharing family recipes passed down to me from 100 years ago, trying out new hobbies, perfecting my own, and travelling all over. I love reading other blogs, from fashion and weddings to recipes and travelling. I just enjoy the experience of sharing experiences.

I would love to connect with other bloggers, readers, friends who are interested in the same. I'd like to reach out to people who enjoy the same hobbies I do, who like the same genres of books, and want to make new connections as well. If I can keep this up for a year, or longer, I would love to know that I encouraged someone to try something new, to bring some change to the mundane life of working and bills, to join a book club and talk about how obsessed with the main character we are, and to just know I completed something that's been a dream of mine.

Here's to giving it a try and not giving up when the only person reading this is my mom, hi Zana!

XOXO
