Welcome!

I really needed an outlet for my creative writing (which I really don't do enough of). Ella Jean is my "pen name" for a couple reasons: When I started this I didn't want my name on it and Ella was my great grandmother's name who I was supposed to be named after (Since that didn't happen, that will be my daughter's name). Anyway I have a mix of everything on here so take a look around and enjoy! :) Please, feel free to leave a comment or click in a check box to tell me if you liked the post or not!

Defining a Word

Confidence 

A drug of the mind. Too much has you flying high until the artillery of disappointment shoots you down to a fiery crash.

Too little and you are left unsure of yourself. You end up surprised when accomplishment offers a hand up only for you to step down and hide your light again.

Just enough lets you be sure of yourself. It let's you fly just high enough that a crash will hurt, but not destroy, and where accomplishment need only say, "step forward and shine!"
