About

Friends, family, search engines, and people who stumbled here by accident and decided to look around for some reason:

cute pic taken for blog but...

Hello. 


My name is Elizabeth Claire, but I go by the latter (or by E Claire hehe).

I don't think I'm much for self descriptions because I either want to systematically ramble about every little thing I can think of, or I want to just put something short and witty and not bother with everything else, but that's not very engaging. I guess I'll try to narrow down the most important things about me and my interests... things you may read about often on this blog, along with the random things that happen both around me and in my head:

...this is probably what I actually look like right now...

1) Art. Of many kinds, but mostly drawing. I'm full of creativity and ideas, and I try not to let the business of living kill that. Sometimes it's less evident though, and those are always the times that I feel the deadest inside.

2) Writing. It's sort of like art, but it's how I most easily express myself. My art is more often about my ideas than about myself, but my writing is how I connect to the world. Which is why I like text-based things like blogging. It's also much easier than speaking out loud. Which leads into...

3) Introversion. I'm one of the most independent, introverted people I know. Most strangers and acquaintances would probably tell you that I'm super quiet and pretty shy. I'd argue with that (I like to argue). I just don't feel the need to talk to people most of the time. I prefer listening and observing. I actually process my thoughts out loud, so if I'm comfortable with you, you may never hear the end of it. (It's okay if you tune out. If something is important, I'll say your name.) If no one is around, I talk out loud to myself. Come to think of it, I treat my blog in much the same way. Like silent talking out loud.

See what I meant about rambling...

There's loads more, because I'm very introspective and could tell you a lot about myself, but long about pages are tedious and if you are really interested in me then keep up to date with my blog and you will learn more as time goes on... 

But there's one more very important thing about me. I believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ–our Savior, and of course the Holy Spirit.* The fact that I'm a Christian is supposed to affect the very fabric of my life, the way I live and see the world. And I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very good at it. I start thinking I'm a pretty decent person, but lose track of the infinitely wide gap between perfection and just a few mistakes. 

Hopefully, blog followers, you'll see me grow into a more God-fearing and truly passionate young woman. I really do hope so. 

later dudes.
