About Something to Relate To:
Welcome! This is your space for self-discovery, personal growth, and empowerment. I created this blog to help individuals embrace their true selves, build confidence from within, and cultivate a positive self-image.
The inspiration behind my blog comes from my own life experiences and the obstacles I have overcome. I believe that sharing personal stories can create meaningful connections and offer valuable insights. For me, being able to relate to someone else’s journey has always been a powerful way to learn and grow. Through this blog, I hope to inspire, encourage, and provide support to others who may be facing similar challenges.
My Story
For years, I struggled with self-doubt and negative self-talk. Like many, I sought validation from others instead of looking within. My turning point came when I realized that confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about self-acceptance, resilience, and growth. Through intentional mindset shifts, self-care, and positive habits, I transformed my outlook on life, and now, I want to help you do the same.
Social media was just starting to gain popularity when I was in middle school, and at just 11 years old, I began chasing the idea of “perfection” online. Like many middle school girls, I started noticing blemishes and imperfections that I didn’t want, so I turned to makeup, lots of it. And I mean a lot, I didn’t hold back. You might be wondering, Where were your parents? Couldn’t they have stopped this? The answer is yes, and I’m sure my father tried. As a single parent raising me and my older brother while also running a business, he had to pick his battles wisely. The reason I share this backstory is to highlight that I didn’t truly feel comfortable in my own skin—without all those enhancements—until just this past year. Eighteen years of insecurity, shaped by social media and unrealistic beauty standards. That realization is absolutely mind-blowing to me. It’s not just the past year that has inspired me to create this space—it’s been a journey spanning the last eight years, filled with growth, opportunities, and invaluable experiences that have shaped my perspective. I’ve always been passionate about exploring ways to improve things, understanding how we perceive situations, uncovering what drives our reactions, and fostering meaningful connections. And, of course, I have a love for shopping (lol) and sharing my favorite finds to help others feel confident. We’ll dive deeper into all of this in future blogs! But for now, let me share my ultimate goal with this blog and what inspired me to create it.
