Get to know me and why
Hello friend 🙂
I’m Anna Grace Johnson, a 22-year old girl who loves a lot of Broadway and a lot of Disney. They run together in my mind. I would say I am an extrovert who seeks out moments of happiness daily. I have done a lot of self-reflection, journaling, self-discovery and seeking these past two years; they have brought me to the place I am at now. A person who seeks excitement, adventures, new discoveries and a lot of joy. I enjoy smiling and laughing (preferably belly laughs). A person told me once that a good belly laugh can cure anything and I stand by that. I enjoy listening but also giving. I love deep talks, coffee dates, sitting outside and spontaneous trips. I grew up dancing my whole life and still do. I added theatre into the mix when I was a sophomore in college. I tore my ACL beginning of my sophomore year and I felt I lost a part of myself. The pain physically and mentally dragged me down daily. Later that year, I was cast in a musical that year and it felt the part of me that was missing was found. Kinda like the last puzzle piece to a 500 puzzle set that you had been looking for. It changed my life: the experience, challenge and relationships I made in that time got me to where I am. I did it my way, and that is something I will remember forever. Daily, I am challenging myself to open up and become more wide ranged in every category of my life. It is something that is difficult, but ultimately has helped me grow so much as a person. I am a firm believer that trying the hard and uncomfortable things, facing them and moving forward with a positive attitude will get you far. My dad always says “Positive attitude, good day.” I like to not regret anything. There is always a lesson to be learned from experiences.
Eager, decisive, opportunistic, positive, responsible, accountable, open, sneakily brave, and loquacious are a few words that friends, family and mentors have described me as. My friend Elle has described me “A responsible Elf on the Shelf.” You may interpret that however you like 😉 I am NOT a journalism major, actually far opposite. I will probably have run on sentences, misplaced commas, misspellings, BUT I do believe in a real, authentic life. Even through words. I am not perfect but I strive to be better. Thank you for being here on this journey with me and I hope you may be able to take something away from it and explore this journey with me!
