About - The One Journal

Welcome to The One Journal

Exploring the Intersections of the Human Mind, Connectivity, and Polymathic Presence

Hello, I'm Serah, the creator of The One Journal. I would describe myself as a writer, and a polymathic anthropologist and social experimentation queen, ever curious in supporting humans doing human things. As an ecologist, writer, musician, mother, and spiritual seeker, I'm passionate about weaving together threads of personal growth, environmental stewardship, and collective healing.

I am currently in school pursuing my first B.S. in ~~Linguistic~~ Cross-Disciplinary Anthropology and simmering on what I want an M.A. in.

I studied and am certified in Apparel Design and Merchandising, Italian Language and Culture, and World Language and Culture, with Associate’s degrees in both Anthropology and Liberal Arts. A deeply personal goal that I hope for is to obtain fluency in 日本語.

What is The One Journal?

The One Journal is a space for curious minds and open hearts. For those who have grown up around the expansive and lonely world of solitude and silence and are seeking answers and a resonant community. Those who envisioning worldbuilding and partaking in a quieter community of humans who share your interests.

By subscribing, you are becoming a part of a living breathing space. Every new edition of collective thoughts will go directly to your inbox. As a polymath, my interests vary, so you will see this in my topics as well. Generally the focus will always be around the human mind, failing forward, and learning from living.

Leading life as an autodidact is fun, interesting, expansive, and ever changing. As an avid gardener, I am finding ways to incorporate that more here with seed swaps, foraging, making things with my hands, long walks, and more.

Here we dive deep into:

🦪Cultivating feeling whole

🕊️Reflections on spirit and personal transformation

🌀 Creative expression and artistic exploration as someone connected to source

🧚🏽‍♂️ Using deep innate wisdom towards environmental consciousness and stewardship

-🍃My own flavor of social justice and community building

🤍Diving deep into the thread of human connection by tapping into the zeitgeist

Through narrative essays, reflections, and occasional poetry, I invite you to join me in contemplating our place in the web of life along with our role in shaping a more compassionate world.

On Going Deep

This is a safe space for me to overshare. As I have actively been practicing becoming a better listener, it has exposed some shortcomings I need to work on improving. The work will be intentional, as I am slowly starting to unpack all of my emotional quirks to simply attempt to be a better human. As of November 2024, I can say all the years of EMDR are finally settling into my bones and I have some real temperament shifts which I personally feel quite content about.

If you like reading self-improvement, psychology journals, or simply want to watch someone crash and burn while trying, I invite you to subscribe. The complexities of being human are always present, but I think we all want and need love.

As a gentle romantic, I look forward to connecting with someone and we both learn and grow simultaneously and in harmony. Until then, you can find me home in my garden, with a project or book in hand, or making something delicious alongside my best friend.

We will be going deep into my emotional space, and things may get uncomfortable. Life is a bumpy, windy ride up a very precarious hill, but I like the thrill of it, and I’m prepared and emotionally open for the brief ride down.

A Personal Note

The One Journal is more than just a platform for my writing. Your presence here, whether through reading, commenting, or sharing, adds to the richness of our collective exploration.

As I navigate the delicate balance of sharing my work, being of service, and tending to my personal practice, I'm deeply grateful for your support. If you find value in what I offer and are able, consider becoming a paid subscriber. If that's not possible right now, your engagement through reading and sharing is equally seen and received.

On Cadence & Community

First and foremost, I am a writer, and I do not believe I need to show up, share and be seen on an expected amount each week, month, you name it. I write online when I want to share, and when I don’t, I write for myself, in my personal journals, or I work on my first novel, which I plan to release by 2027.

This is a safe space for empaths and gentle souls. Those who have grown up around the expansive and lonely world of solitude and silence and are seeking answers and a resonant community. By subscribing, you will be woven into the tapestry of my digital ecosystem. Every new edition of the journal and the podcast will go directly to your inbox as a gentle addition. As my interests diversify, so do my topics, but generally the focus will always be around the human mind, failing forward, and learning from living. Leading life as an autodidact is fun, interesting, expansive, and ever changing. As an avid gardener, I am finding ways to incorporate that more here with seed swaps, foraging walks, and more.
