I Don’t Want to Miss It

I wrote this in my Notes app on my lunch break in October. It was a time where I kept feeling this pressing of increasing my faith. I kept having this feeling of anticipation and I had no idea where it was coming from because, to be honest, I’m pretty sure I was dealing with…

Before August Ends…

Hey y’all! Before this month comes to a close (quite literally it is currently 10:47pm where I am), I just wanted to give a quick check-in. This month became super busy as my last year as a graduate student commenced. I’m so close to the finish line and yet so far! Every new assignment makes…

Faith, Hope and Love

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love”  1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV) I recently experienced a breakup last month. 0/10, would not recommend. As I continue to process everything, I tried to think of what I would write about this month. Why not share a little bit…

Year 27

As the month of June ends and the month of July approaches, one thing that I look forward to is my birthday! As of July 1, I will be 28 years old. Wow, that is wild to me. I’ve been on this planet for almost 28 years.  Year 27, I remember I was really excited…

April Anxiety brings May…Clarity?

Hello y’all! I’m sorry that I’ve been gone! I hope that you missed me. I’ve missed you. I guess that I should explain myself huh? I had the intention of posting in April. It was going to be this amazing review of all of the shows that I watched during my Spring semester. Something light.…

I can’t remember the film that we watched but I remember scrolling through Twitter as it played in the background. I scrolled past a few memes, some celebrity news and then there it was.…

Why Can’t We Stay Together?

A few weeks ago, my sister sent me a Tik Tok of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone on the set of The Amazing Spiderman II (I do not want slander in my comments about the film. I loved it, bye). It was a behind the scenes look at how they worked together so well and…

What I Did during Winter Break

As mentioned in my intro post, I am a graduate student. I am currently going for my Masters in Mental Health Counseling and I am almost at the finish line. I can’t wait to taste the sweet victory of graduating. Any fellow or former graduate students understand my pain? After ending my Spring semester and…

Hello! Hallo! Bonjour!

Who are you? I’ve always hated that question growing up, along with “tell me about yourself”. It always felt like it had to be deeper than what it’s asking. I’m Arielle, but my sister calls me Relle, hence the name of this thing. I’m a daughter, sister, friend, graduate student losing her sleep as the…
