Introducing My Personal Brand
We all have a story of how we got from point A to point B. But
what about the in between? Well that’s me, I have this goal and I started having
real goals so much later than everyone else. I am so distracted in this world
that is so loud and trying so hard to tell us how we should be and how we outta
act. But I want to just keep it real. I want to show you my good days and bad
days. I want to bring the realities of being a college student. Let’s do life
together and struggle, cry, laugh, etc. together. Let’s encourage one another
and help each other grow, because there’s only one way to go from here my
friend and that’s up.
The only desire I have is to get to share my real life and have
someone say “I’m so glad I’m not the only one” comment appear in my
notifications. Because let me tell you friend I have no idea of how to or where
to start off in this life that has so many things that weigh us down. It all
came like a big wave at sandy’s and I’m just trying here. And from a peers that
tells us to dream big and aim for the stars (which I believe in completely) but
can’t help and think how can they tell us that when we are stuck in a room for
12 years not having the room for creativity, we are told where to go, when to
sit, when to go to the bathroom, and yet at the end left to make a big decision
to go to some college that will change directory of where and how we start off in our adult life.
In the brochures they forgot to mention while trying to get an education that
we would have to balance a job, doing taxes, paying bills, etc. We were just
thrown into this world on how to figure everything out. We are in the somewhere
in between of being kids transitioning into adults with independence which is
and a beautiful thing, but they kind of let us out there to struggle. The
education system has sadly somewhat failed us. But it’s not completely hopeless.
After that rant, I want us to be able to be real to help each
other figure things out while having the time of our lives. Let’s share our sob
stories, our victories, and everything in between.
SO here is my first piece of work.. to you. Meraki and that’s a
greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, or love; when you
leave a piece of yourself in your work. But I put my own pun/twist on it and added the MERAKILOUS kind of like Miraculous. Get it? If not don't worry! This will be my website/blog. But our
community. Our tribe. Our Place. Now lets go do this thing together.

Hi Gabby,
ReplyDeleteWhat concrete steps are you offering"to help figure things out" and have the time of your life? Why should I visit your Place?
Thanks,
Greg
Well the only concrete steps I can think of would be just to do these post sharing and being transparent with my audience. Because as we go through life we face everyday battles whether that would be financial, personal, emotions, school, social, etc. But we can have a good laugh while helping each other out. What I mean by helping out is to just be there to listen, be active with my audience.
DeleteHi Gabby,
ReplyDeleteGoing from A to B has not always been the same for me too. I went in one direction and I am in the next chapter in my life. Now, all I want to do is travel and try different cuisines. Hopefully I can overcome my fear of flying long distances (don't think so though).
That beautiful word and great word to live by, I actually wrote the word down on a piece of paper, so I wont forget it. Also "Let’s encourage one another and help each other grow, because there’s only one way to go from here my friend and that’s up." <- I really like this, and it show me how nice and caring of person you are. Honestly most people nowadays just want the worst for each other, always bad mouthing one another, never encouraging( it seems or maybe I just know a lot of a***holes). All in all great post!
ReplyDeleteI like your "merakilous" idea. Creative! Maybe that can be one of your hashtags?
