The Girl Behind The Blog

chelle

Hi, I’m Chelle! A 20-something Londoner, currently on a journey.

I used to be a ballet and tap dancer (no really, I have pictures and videos!). I was once a professional skateboarder…whilst I played Tony Hawks Pro Skater! Then I was a ‘Crazy Taxi’ driver who would break all the rules! Shortly after I became a break dancer; battling through rounds of Flow Urban Dance Uprising.

I clearly let my imagination run wild! It’s amazing where your imagination can take you and how much fun you can have living in the moment.

This is what I’m aiming for on a long term basis; consecutive days where I am enjoying the little things. When I was younger I would let my hair down effortlessly, laugh continuously and roam around carelessly.

As I have grown older, I have found this much harder to do. I feel like I can learn from the younger me and work towards a better life. I want to let go of any inhibitions, make things happen and live the life I imagine.

My Journey

My blog is collectively a journey of personal growth and self development, with the odd musing and/or childhood memory. My goal is to inspire and motivate others whenever I can!

Are you ready to join me on this journey? Everyone is welcome! I can’t promise you the perfect journey, but I will promise to try my best to strive for the life I imagine and hopefully inspire you to do the same!

Thoughts ALWAYS need at least one place where they can run wild 😉

You’re damn awesome! Though I suck at skating in and out of video games. I’m more of a “show me who to shoot” girl. 🙂

You’re about me page is awesome because it really does give me an idea of your personality.

  Thank youuuu! I can’t skate in real life to save my life lol. I used to glide across the floor for a couple of seconds, then grab onto the nearest object.
  
  Ohh..you’re a gamer? that’s pretty cool! I haven’t even touched a console in such a long time 😦 A gaming session is long overdue!

    You’re still a better skater than me. As soon as the skates are on I turn into a new born foal. Can’t move and legs not working haha
    
    Yeah I love video games! Currently playing Titanfall. Great for relaxing. Hehe.
