✨The Heart Behind My Blog

 Softness is not a sign of weakness. It’s about choosing peace in a chaotic world. It’s about becoming.

 

Hello, beautiful soul!

I’m so delighted that you’re here. My name is Vanelle, but my friends call me MissV. I’m a travel writer, journaling barbie, and soft living advocate from Cameroon, now living in India.

This blog was born out of a quiet but powerful desire.

It’s the realization of a dream, one rooted in purpose and progress.

I started journaling back in 9th grade, during high school, not out of passion, but out of necessity. That passion came later. At the time, I was trying to escape the harsh reality of my broken family. I needed to release the frustration, anger, and disappointment that weighed heavily on me.

I longed for a world that belonged to me, a world where love didn’t disappear, where love stayed, where people laughed, and where family was grounded.

I eventually found that love in my journals.

Through journaling, I discovered who I am, where I belong, my passion, and my purpose in this world.

I decided to start this blog to write from the heart, to slow down, and to share my journey of faith, self-discovery, and gentle living both within and across borders.

I named it Soft Living by Vanelle because that’s the life I’m learning to build, one that’s grounded in grace, guided by God, and filled with little beautiful moments.

You’ll find stories here about:

• ✍️ Journaling and reflection

• 🕊️ Faith and womanhood

• ✈️ Travel

• 💡 Creativity and starting from scratch

I don’t have it all figured out, but I’ve learned that we don’t need to. We just need to begin gently, honestly, and together.

So welcome, again.

May this blog feel like a warm cup of tea, a journal you trust, and a quiet friend who reminds you that you belong.

With love,

Vanelle T.

Let’s live softly. Let’s grow slowly. Let’s write the story that heals.
