When I originally posted this “about me” I had a lot going on in my life that unfortunately didn’t pan out…trying to go back to school, doing this incredible weightloss journey, etc…It’s been rough.. But, my name is Elysia, and I’m 23 years old, living in Western Washington. I’m a writer, or at least I try to be. Welcome to my blog.

I feel most at home when I’m in nature, but more specifically, when it’s raining. There’s something about rain that brings me to peace. My favorite place to be is at the ocean on a rainy day. I find water very relaxing, and I’m constantly mesmerized by the openness of the ocean.

I love to read, and my favorite authors are Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. I envy the way they lived their lives so naturally. Money was never an object of passion for them, and they simply lived for the pure enjoyment of what life had to offer them. I wish today’s society allowed me to live the same way.

My posts will hold a theme of writing, music, and nature. These three things are my passion in life, and I wish to share them with you, through my eyes.
