About Me

 I’m Vanelle, a Cameroonian Travel writer, journal creator, and soft-spoken dreamer currently living in India.

I believe in soft mornings🌞, handwritten prayers🙏, and the gentle art of becoming.

This blog was born out of my deep love for storytelling, journaling, and helping women reconnect with themselves and with God. Through my travels, notebooks, and faith, I’ve learned that healing isn’t loud; it’s often found in the small, sacred spaces of everyday life.

On this blog, you’ll find:
✍️ Journaling guides & prompts to help you reflect and grow
🕊️ Faith-centered reflections on identity, grace, and womanhood
💡 Creative tips on building your dream with what you have
✈️ Stories from places that changed me, like Cameroon and India

When I’m not writing, I’m designing planners or dreaming up my next podcast episode.

My hope? This blog feels like a safe space, one where you remember that you are loved, seen, and never too late to begin again.

Welcome to Soft Living by Vanelle, where journaling meets journey.

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 belo...

How Journaling Became My Safe Space

P eople say the environment you grow up in shapes who you become. That said, if you grew up in a safe and loving place, you’ll likely be a positive, cheerful, and self-confident individual. However, if you grew up in an environment where expressing love felt like a burden, or if you were always left behind, you may develop into a negative, self-centered, or arrogant person. The environment and people that surround us define our identity. When I look back, I realize how much I hated who I was a few years ago. Life had turned me into someone no one recognized, not even my parents. It all started when my parents divorced on my 3rd birthday.

I realized at a very young age that there was no one to protect me. I remember my stepmother once saying, “ People you love will never love you back. ” She was right back then. But that statement is no lo...
