About Me | Elle Monah
https://ellemonah.wordpress.com/about
Young freelancer. I learn as my day job i.e. I’m a student. I once read on a blog that the 18-24 years are known as the “transition years” because you’re still searching for your purpose in life. I guess I can agree with that. I consider these years of “not knowing” the years that I want to document. Though I may not know where I’ll end up in 10 years, right now I know that everyday I look into the mirror and see who I am: a girl with a strong sense of self, faith, and ambition.

The current always talks about giving up when exercising, how it’s all a mind game. i think love is a mind game. i used to speak things into existence with the former: “i like him.” “i like. Him” i didn’t need to convince myself. i just needed to say it aloud. it worked. my feelings for him were as plentiful as the number of times i said those three words out loud. I feel the moisture coming. hold on. Posted in personal writings. June 21, 2009.

I don’t even know the exact number of pounds I weighed, but I know that I had difficulty fitting into clothes from the summer prior. My wardrobe that summer consisted mostly of dresses because they easily hid my weight. Have any of you been working out? For weightloss or for other reasons? What has it been like? Anyone been doing it for 3 months? May 30, 2009.

Archive for July, 2009. Laquo; Older posts. Letter to this age. July 30, 2009. We spent our first hours together freaking out over a contact I thought was stuck in my eye. Remember that? I’m not trying to bash you, 20. It’s just that you aren’t what you appeared to be. That semblance of maturity was just a front — a cold one. You were the worst year of my two decades . I’ll be happy to say goodbye to you and all the aches you brought. Sincerely, Elle M. July 26, 2009. July 18, 2009. Read the rest of this...

July 26, 2009. When I was 8 years old, there was a weekend when my sister, who usually did my hair, was unable to. I usually stayed away from having my mother do my hair because she wasn’t that great at styling. Instead of going to school with a ponytail which i should have done. I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven. July 18, 2009. Recently presented me with a choice: make him the past or keep him as is?

I nod, wanting him to explain. 8220;I mean, everyone has this notion that once you’re deeply in love with someone then the marriage will be great. No, that’s not true. There are so many other things to think about once you’re married.”. I think about it for a nanosecond and he’s right. 8220;So you think of love as the first step? 8221; I ask.

Laquo; Conversations: the second step. Tweeters celebrate Happy Black Girl Day. March 10, 2010. As a young black woman I’m tired of being told what I can’t do, what I have.

Archive for April, 2009. I told myself that I would make some changes. April 16, 2009. More than biting nails, chewing with an open mouth, and staring at others, I believe that I have the worst habit a person could have: cutting. Over the past five years, I’ve dropped a total of 9 people from my life. I don’t know how I’m able to do it and still be myself. Snip snip: The sad part about it is that I never once wished I knew how to sew. Posted in self reflection. April 16, 2009. Two weeks ago, a friend and...
