Maria here, and I want to welcome you along on my journey as an entrepreneur. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion and love for writing. I have never been the best with putting my thoughts into words. Writing became an outlet to let my inner most personal thoughts and ideas run free. Growing up, I had this plan to become a creative writer; write realistic fiction books. I believe the reason behind my mission was to give myself an “okay” of sorts to say whatever I wanted or dreamed of on paper and give myself the freedom of speech I felt I never really had. I am also a pisces….so your girl is quite the day dreamer.
As a kid I was always the one that came home with the report card saying how “I was a great student but would talk too much”. As you can imagine, my mouth has gotten me into trouble… A LOT and for various reasons. One thing about me that anyone close to me can contest to is that I am stubborn and love a good debate. They may use the word argument, but this is my blog… so let’s stick to my perspective. To finish that thought; my dad would always mention how I should have gone to school to be a lawyer, and if I were going for money… that’s where I’d make it most. LOL. He says it’s my passion. When I care, I really freaking care. He gets it.
“What misogynistic asshole said that?!
So, because the majority of the people in my life (minus my dad) made me feel like speaking was the root of my issues… I became silent. Most people now would describe me as “reserved” or my (least) favorite; sneaky. The reasoning for my silence or lack of communication comes from the deeply rooted people pleasing side of me. Living in a society where “fitting in” is so prevalent; quiet was were I resided. I remember being told that I would be so pretty if I just kept my mouth shut a little more. You may think “What misogynistic asshole said that?!” Well, the crazy part is that it came from another women. A grown women told me I would be prettier if I was less talkative. So the set back of women empowerment really hit different there for me. ANYWAY I progress.
Now… the reason you are all here: Who am I now and what am I doing?
I became HER.
As you will come to find, my greatest accomplishment in life is to be my own boss. I want to be in control and have the freedom and respect I feel I worked overly hard to acquire. You know what I did? I became HER. I am now everything I never imagined I would be… and then some. Now that I have done the thing I knew I could in a way I never thought would be my journey… I want to expand and evolve into whoever I want to be next, and I am bringing you all along with me. Here’s to saying what’s on your mind! It is time to break the silence.
