Hi, I’m Jazzmin. I’m a 30 year old Filipina-American from the Bay Area. I used to work in tech (shocker, right?), but writing and self-improvement projects have always been a love of mind. I decided to meld the two by dedicating a blog documenting my journey of continuous self-improvement, happiness, and gratitude. In a world oversaturated with social media, overconsumption, and validation from likes, it’s often difficult to remember that happiness isn’t how much many you make each year; it’s not the title you hold at work, it’s not how many friends you have, and it’s definitely not the amount of designer items you own. At the end of the day, happiness truly comes from within.
Why did I choose the name Seeking Cerulean? Cerulean is my favorite color and one that has much has brought me so much joy throughout my life. In my childhood home, my mom picked cerulean as the color for our bathroom. I remember standing in front of the paint cards wall at Home Depot and thinking that out of all the blues, it was the prettiest shade; it made me feel happy and hopeful inside. Painting our bathroom with my mom will always be one of my favorite memories. It looked like a piece of the sky was captured and displayed perfectly on the walls. Cerulean is described as a “deep blue in color, like a clear sky.” After a storm, a clear blue sky is a reminder that everything will turn out better and more beautiful, despite all the chaos that may come before.
This blog is a reminder to myself on how far I’ve come on my journey to being the best and happiest version of myself, as well as a reminder to those on their own journey that everything will be okay. More often than not, life typically turns out better than expected.
We can all share a piece of the wonder and beauty that is represented in the color cerulean. I hope this blog helps you find your way to your own personal cerulean sky.
