I have heard several people say, "I'm an open book," but I have a hard time believing that's the case for most. I wish I could sound poetic and tell you all about how I hold nothing inside and how my soul is undisclosed to the world. But I can't! I have learned to embrace my cautious choices in who I expose myself to. I trust people and seek to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But when I truly share my emotions, my thoughts, my aspirations and my deep convictions, I have a selective group of people I can trust. Even though I am thoughtful about my interactions with people, it doesn't dull my passion for life. I embrace the world of art, create and redefine movement through dance, I write and write a lot, I cherish people and relationships, serve junior high and high school students at my home church, I value family, relentlessly fight for my personal convictions, and I aspire to encourage others to find freedom in who they are and how the interact in the world.
My name is Sheena. Most people spell my name wrong on my cup at coffee shops. I labor over my words and always try to encourage people. My mom is from Indonesia so I was raised to love different cultures and unique foods. I have met lots of famous people which helped me come to the great realizations that I like my life. Simple, dynamic, busy, ever-changing, free-spirited life! I can't help but be drawn to technology. I spend hours tracking social media trends, learning cutting edge methods to engage people in your business and in your personal life. I hated reading, until I graduated with my bachelors degree, now I wish I had more free time to read all the books I've bought. My hobbies are my podium that allow my unending thoughts to have a microphone to express. I shout things through my drawings that my lips would never speak. My spoken words are mixtures of rhythm and inflection in order to eloquently say things, that in reality, are messy and painful. I capture moments through still photos and have made my way into several peoples homes in the form of a 4x6 print. My need to create is the equivalent of your need for oxygen. You don't just want it, you need it.
I fight to experience true freedom. This world has an enticing way of keeping you tied down to insecurities, fears, anxiety, stress and shame. So I write, here on my blog, in order to continually focus on the meaningful elements that make life worth living. I openly share certain struggles, experiences, and accomplishments, in hopes that you will embrace your messiness and understand that there is a place for you on this planet.
