Heyo, I'm Raquel!

My roots come from a little farm of about 10 acres along the Skunk River in the wonderful state of Iowa. I have lots of interests and hobbies (as evidenced by my degree from Iowa State University: major in Criminal Justice Studies and minors in Psychology and Animal Science), as well as challenges.

I started this blog (this year, in 2024!) in hopes of letting people know that they're not alone in what they may be going through or what they might be feeling. I know I have felt that way occasionally, and it's comforting to learn there's others out there "with" me. I'm rooting for you, I care about you, and you are beautiful!

Additionally, I wanted to challenge and learn about myself in a different way. I've had personal social media accounts for a while, but have struggled feeling comfortable putting myself out there all that much. So, I figured this might be a good way to push myself.

I'm so glad you're here, and I want to thank you for reading my stories.
