I\u2019m not entirely sure why I still have this, but I do, and you\u2019re here. So, welcome! You\u2019ll find links in the menu bar above where you can navigate to all of my weird little writings, musings, slightly crappy artwork, and even a few papers I\u2019ve submitted for school. Keep scrolling down if you\u2019d like to know a little bit more about who \u201cI\u201d am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is Sericane?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who am I? Who are you? Who is anyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been a mail carrier, a pizza delivery driver, a cashier, a customer service rep, a courier, a banker in a casino, even a \u201cSandwich Artist\u201d, among other things. Currently, however, I am a C.O. at a State Correctional Institute. I always have some sort of day (or night) job. Bills must get paid, after all. Clearly, however, my love lies with writing. I just haven\u2019t been able to figure out how to make it a profitable hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a mother to a set of almost ten year old twins, whom so happened to steal my birthday, as well as an ornery little toddler who will be two at the beginning of 2025. I was born the youngest of three in June of 1992. I am a wifey (because after 15 years, \u201cgirlfriend\u201d just sounds juvenile), an occasional writer, ranter (Is that even a word? It is now, I suppose), poet, and artist. At the end of April, 2023 I graduated Cum Laude from SNHU with my BA in English Language and Literature with a minor in Psychology. I am a HUGE live music fan. Rock shows are my happy place. In a nutshell, I am not quite where I want to be in life, but I am where my past-selves always wanted to be, so I call that progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years my dreams have changed and adapted to the reality that I am forced to live. I\u2019ve wanted (and still want, if I\u2019m being honest) to go to law school, become an investigative journalist, and even work with music artists to write chart topping songs for them. I know these are pipe dreams, though. Truthfully, I just want to work with words. Be that writing original work or editing to help improve other people\u2019s creations, as long as I\u2019m contributing to the creative process, I\u2019m happy. Realistically, however, I simply hope to become a better person overall. A better provider, a better mother, a better wifey, and someone who just might change some lives for the better. I hope to be proof that even in this age of technology where everyone is connected to the point of being disconnected, that words have power. Words can change a person, a nation, and even the world if we just considered the words we used more carefully and had the strength to speak our truths when the situation calls for it. Words have impact. I intend to use them to the best of my ability to help create a world that I won\u2019t be afraid to send my children into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, my name is Julia. Nice to meet ya. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-subtitle\">P.S. For those of you curious as to the origin of the name \u201cSericane\u201d (probably none of you): many moons ago (2007-2008ish) myself and a group of former online RPG friends decided to create new character names for each other. They came up with Sericane for me. For some reason, it just sort of stuck in my head and I\u2019ve been using it regularly ever since. When I\u2019m not trying to be entirely \u201cprofessional\u201d, that is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:35%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-41f9fede wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1588\" height=\"1985\" src=\"https:\/\/sericane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/il_1588xN.2847572717_eon1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sericane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/il_1588xN.2847572717_eon1.jpg 1588w, https:\/\/sericane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/il_1588xN.2847572717_eon1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/sericane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/il_1588xN.2847572717_eon1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/sericane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/il_1588xN.2847572717_eon1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sericane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/il_1588xN.2847572717_eon1-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/sericane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/il_1588xN.2847572717_eon1-120x150.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1588px) 100vw, 1588px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-x-large-font-size\" style=\"line-height:1.2\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"continue-reading-button\"> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sericane.com\/\">Continue reading<i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":156,"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions\/156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sericane.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
