the official intro
This one here is for the lost souls. The ones that long for something more in this world. One day, you're eighteen, and your only care in the world is if your fake ID is going to work at the Friday, or Thursday... or Tuesday night spot. The next, you're treading water for the first time in the cyclical whirlpool we like to call, LIFE. It's so strange how quickly it all un folds. The change, so rapid, in such a short time, it's shocking. Why can't things be easy, and stay as they are? Comfortable, and right. It's a question I have chased after my entire life. A question that I am finally beginning a quest to understanding. Because life is a challenge and happiness is a journey, not a destination.

I leave for Dallas, Texas in exactly eighteen days (what?!!!?). And although I have not a clue what is in store, I know I will be surrounded by people that unconditionally and blissfully love and care. They're the best kind of folks around, the ones that have a grip on all of this. Aunt Kiki, my soul sister, one of the role models of my life. Uncle Tim, who will drink me under the table any day and show me the most amazing music of my time and before. They're a dynamic duo that I can only hope to recreate in my some-day marriage. And how could I forget the crazy vegetarian, fellow animal lover, and downright most amazing person who I have the fortune of spending these next two months with, Lexi Leinenkugel. This list is not all encompassing, but these three people sure are calling me home.
I think it's pretty safe to say that Raleigh and I need to go on a break. We've had our ups and downs, our fair share of fights, and right now she's just getting on my damn nerves. I know Raleigh and I will love again, but sometimes things don't work out for the beauty of the past.
My name is Ellen Dulweber, I'm 21 years young and can't wait to see what this life has in store. Making my own rules now, doing what I love, with who I love. Charlotte and Raleigh are my North Carolina homes but Lord knows I'm a Texas girl at heart. Stay tuned for my summer adventures, pursuits in the fashion, apparel, and home goods industry, and much, much more. I've never been more prepared to take my life by the reins. I'm holdin' on tight, this Bronco ain't buckin' me yet.
