Allow me to Introduce myself…

Welcome to my blog. How exciting my very first post. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to show me their love and support. My name is Michelle but I go by Mj which is explains the name Life as Mj. I chose to share my life story in hope to inspire others to pursue whatever it is that sets their soul on fire. I am a college student very close to graduation, I plan to pursue a career where I can help others especially those suffering with mental illnesses. Note, I am not a professional, YET. However for now, I would like to share my experience with mental illness and tips on how I cope with it. Being open about my anxiety has given me the opportunity to listen to the stories of others who are battling themselves mentally as well. Through my blog I want to share my thoughts, ideology, passions, and opinions on the countless things I am into. I am a writer & rhymer, writing poetry has been one of my outlets of escape and self expression. I love writing poems that have deep meaning to them, bringing awareness to current events happening in the world today. I am a spiritual gangsta these chakras stay align, my crystals stay recharged and my sage is always lit haha all jokes aside awakening was the best experience of my life and I am grateful for everything that lead me to that. There was a moment in my life where my health was very poor and I always felt exhausted, low on energy and in a funk. Turns out I had a tumor growing in my ovary and needed emergency surgery to remove it. Dealing with hormones, anxiety, school and life in general through me off my mojo and I went into a dark zone. In the darkness I found the light, the light was me. Everything I was searching for was in me all along. God knows my purpose and I was only looking at the surface, he needed to make me dig deeper to find my pot of gold. I want everyone who takes the time to listen to my story to understand that they have the power too, to understand that even though the dark times don’t feel good at the moment they are to teach you a lesson that you will value in the future. Everything happens for a reason, patience comes into play when we wait for the reason to come to light. I decided to turn the pain into power and just be unapologetic about who I am. I started to share my poems on my Instagram @Lifeasmj_ and I started a Youtube Channel @Lifeasmj the two best decisions of 2017. I have an amazing support system my family and my boyfriend have been there for me through it all. My boyfriend has helped me tremendously with my Channel and now with my blog I appreciate him and his tech talents. I will talk so much more about my amazing family and boyfriend, spirituality, mental health, society etc. so stay tuned. I look forward to sharing more of Lifeasmj with you all. Thank you so much for vibing with me! Namaste
