A Little About Me
Hey! I’m Evelyn, a college student – turned creative writer- interested in movies, tv shows, books, poetry, writing, art, you name it! I love any product of expression that allows us to convey stories and ideas with meaning.
A couple years ago, I was halted by my words. The thoughts, the ideas, the imaginations… I couldn’t find the exact words to express them. And so they would pass as they were observed.
Expression is the medium to capture our presence. To represent stories- to represent lives. To dissociate and observe our mind for what it produces and to convey these productions with the same intensity they come on with.
It’s not simple. We could write novel after novel to emphasize a core idea yet the interpretation may never capture the true essence we intend.
I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to write a novel!
Short forms of writing can still capture a lot of meaning. Short stories, poems, journal entries, blog posts, and one- act plays are valuable forms of writing when you can’t commit to a novel.
Expression should be accessible, and I’m here to help make it that way.
I created Evergreen Musings as a platform to help people express themselves and their ideas through short forms of creative and personal writing. Whether you are a beginner writer or an advanced storyteller, I hope this website could inspire you to articulate your thoughts with presence.
Inspo for the name
While the name may initially suggest a focus on philosophical reflection, Evergreen Musings is a blog focused on contemplation with creative expansion. The name serves to express musings through creativity.
History of the Blog
If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know Evergreen Musings wasn’t always Evergreen Musings…
It all started in 2019 when I gained some time on my hands and wanted to work with it productively. That’s when I decided, I would write about productivity and self growth!
Questiv- Question Initiative was a blog that emerged to help other students reach their fullest potential in their career and academic pursuits through understanding the values that went into taking initiative.
Questions are the backbone to personal growth. To examine and discover why we do things. Questiv was a blog dedicated to helping students understand the “why” and encourage showing up everyday to reinforce the pursuits.
In 2023, I changed the site’s name to Evergreen Musings- a name unlimited to interpretation. The broader site identity of Evergreen Musings was for embracing personal growth, but not just through asking the right questions. Evergreen Musings encouraged additional ideas of philosophy and introspection, two focuses abstracted in Questiv.
While I continued passionately in the personal growth and productivity niche in 2023, I felt like something was missing. A topic I could write so much about was missing a personal touch. The content I produced was trending and perfectly informative to fit the niche, yet most of the ideas were about actionable methods and pursuits to grow. But where did I, the writer, stand in all this?
I stepped back from my original content and pondered what I was really eager about. What I really did to grow. There are a million hobbies one could start and a million values one could hold- What were my values and how did I pursue them?
In 2025, Evergreen Musings took a more personal take: Expression. Expression, particularly through writing, was what motivated me to check in and to take action. With this idea in mind, I made my 3rd rebrand. As I learn more about what makes me passionate to write and what I believe is necessary for you to know, the reader, the focus of this blog will continue to shift. I have removed all of my old posts and will take the time to add a personal voice to each, so you know the personality and motivations behind the writer.
Today, Evergreen Musings is a blog about expression, particularly expression through writing. I hope to share my perspective on writing – both creative and personal writing- to help you find your voice.
