SOUL OF STARDUST
My name is Nealee, and I am the author/creator of Stardust. I am so excited to share all of my favorite things, life experiences, tutorials, and everything in between.
As a 22-year-old, my life has been short, but the pages of my story are long. I come from a big, close family raised for generations in the same hometown, and yes, it’s true! Everyone knows everything about each other no matter how much the population has grown. I am also the oldest daughter of six, and I love all of them all with my whole heart.
Currently, I am a college student majoring in Business Management with dreams of owning my own bookstore. Writing a novel or two may also be apart of those dreams : ) My passions include books (specifically fantasy romance), writing, listening to music, stargazing and watching the sunrise/set.
I have witnessed many events in my life that led me here today. I will share the challenges I faced with all of you along with the little things that helped me stay. Although life has been tough and unfair, I still would not trade mine for the world. There have been too many times where I felt I was not strong enough to survive it, but I did. I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me.
CREATION OF STARDUST
Surprisingly, I did not just stumble upon the name “Stardust” and decided it would be a good fit for how I wanted to establish this site. It really means more to me than most would think. After debating for weeks, I chose to shorten my original version of my social handle I hid behind for years, book of stardust.
This second form of myself was used to truly express the love I have for writing, books, and many other things I did not want my peers to judge me for. I was already going through enough in my personal life; I did not want to add any more stress. It was my form of escape to know I had a piece of me no one could know.
Stardust had become the symbol of my soul; it is only fitting that I use it now to express what I hid behind for so long. This realization is why I created Stardust- a safe place for women to not feel alone no matter the trials.
