About

Diary of A Beautiful Mind started during my sophomore year in high school when I felt myself becoming anti-social from the world. It was meant to be a space where I, a young woman trying to find herself, could express who I am and share it with those who may never have the opportunity to truly get to know me. It was intended for me to share parts of myself with whoever wanted to know, wherever they may be. Today, Diary of A Beautiful Mind is more than just an avenue for self-expression. Our generation has become plagued with the idea that what we portray in images is more important than our mental growth, our ability to formulate educated and thoughtful opinions has drastically been minimized, and we have lost our sense of self in social media and in our social lives. Diary of A Beautiful Mind is a space for those stereotypes to be challenged and defied.

Here at Diary of a Beautiful Mind you will find posts that vary from topic to topic. Many posts come directly from my personal thoughts and experiences, as well as some topics that may be in the media. What you can expect are concise ideas, scholarly writing and a perspective that is my own. The purpose of this blog is to provide a space that prioritizes intellect over all. It is not about "me". Too often we are exposed to woman who want a following based off of their beauty or their fashionista ways. While I celebrate those women for their success, I do not care to be known by my beauty, by my face, or to gain a following based off of those things. The goal of Diary of a Beautiful Mind is to have a medium in which my thoughts, and perhaps even the thoughts of others, can be read. I believe a woman is only as beautiful as her mind, so I've opened my diary to share my mind with you.

ABOUT TIANA

As a reader of Diary of A Beautiful Mind you have probably been wondering, "Who exactly is 'The Mind'?" Well, that beautiful mind would be me, Tiana! Simply put, I try to shy away from using my blog as a way to promote my physical image. In that, I also try to leave an air of ambiguity about myself and my personal life to leave room for the reader to focus on my thoughts and writing. I've come to see how that can be hard for readers as well, because people want to know who it is that they are reading about, where these thoughts are coming from, and more about the person behind The Mind. I am a 22 year old young woman trying to figure out this thing called life. As a recent college grad, I am just getting a taste of what the world has in store and it is proving to be a lot more than I expected, with much more to come. I believe in chasing dreams. I have aspirations of being a renowned writer and poet. I want to have my heart and mind plastered on pages so that one day, when my physical body leaves this earth, everything I was will live through the ink that displays what my mind and soul accomplished while I was breathing. It may be a long time before that happens or it may be soon, but I'd like to get started before I find out. There is so much more to my life than I write about. Sometimes I am caught between what is too personal and what is not personal enough. I simply try to have clarity in my thoughts before I put them down and share what I feel is most important to myself and what is most necessary for the world to hear. As far as my personal life goes, I am truly just a regular girl. I enjoy music, hanging with my family and friends, and spending time with my loved ones. I like to sit around the house with my hair tied up dressed in T-shirts with no bra on. I enjoy binge watching TV on Netflix and drinking assortments of wine. I like to read books and debate about the topics that I am passionate about. I like to go to bars before Happy Hour and try different types of beers. Actually, I enjoy the bar before, during and after happy hour! :) Simply put, I am a real person who's trying to find her place in the world. I use Diary of A Beautiful Mind as an outlet to express myself and to ensure that my voice is heard. I hope you enjoy this doorway into my mind. Love always, Tiana. 

Thank you for visiting Diary of A Beautiful Mind and I hope you find your way back often.
