Hello! I am Brisaela (Bree-sigh-ella) Arredondo, a 21 year old, Daughter of God, who writes, loves to take photos, go on adventures, drinks too many cups of coffee, and hoards memories. I've gone by the nickname 'Brizzy' since I was just weeks old -- I keep telling my parents, they should have just legally made that my name. I promise, it doesn't relate at all to Chris Brown or any stereotype. Brizzy is my name and what the world knows me as. As I transitioned into a teenager, I decided to make 'Rose' my official middle name (since my parents didn't give me one). I'm in love with metaphors, symbols, and anything that has relation to deeper meaning. It's ALL about details with me. This may sound silly, but roses are the closest representation to who I am as an individual. *Plot twist* they're not my favorite flower! (SHOCKER). I just have this weird connection to them (and I'm sure others can relate). I mean, you have this weed that's so incredibly beautiful: it comes in all these different romanticized colors. And then there's these thorns that can physically hurt a person; but we disregard them and keep them anyway. How lovely is that? Roses just prove that perfect is nonexistent. I could go on.
I Spy Ella derived from a book idea I had. I had been writing bits and pieces about my life, adding some fictional twists and turns, but mostly keeping an autobiographical feel. 'Ella' is literally in my full name, which is how "SHE" was born. I'm putting this novel on hold, temporarily. I suppose, I want to live more. It needs to be right.
As for this blog, I'm not certain what category to place it in? It's me. I want to eventually have a fashion advice column - perhaps some DIY's, and video diaries on daily activities: rants, random interviews, and introductions. Maybe I'll start learning monologues and record them? We'll see. I have all of these ideas that I truly want to start incorporating. I want this blog to grow and for it eventually to be one of those go-to's. Mostly, I Spy Ella is here for creative release. I stopped posting for a long period, but I am back and ready to start this journey again.
Inspire. Teach. Grow. Learn.
Life is a roller-coaster, and I am here for the ride, the bumps, and the long falls.
