Hailing from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, standing at an astounding 5 foot 4 inches, and weighing in at 200 lbs (say what? Yes honey that’s right) is the one, the only Domenice Elcock!!!

Ok ok. So I probably over did it as far as first time introductions go. But that was definitely more exciting for me than just stating my name and saying “Hello My Fellow Readers, blah blah blah *more boring stuff here*.”
First of all, I would like to welcome you to the official Love Birds Anonymous website! Thank you for taking the time to come check out our content!
All right! Now that we got that out of the way…I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself.
I do not have a filter. So you may catch me from time to time saying some crazy stuff. Do not be alarmed. I don’t bite…anymore.
*clears throat here*
Anyway, if there were 8 words that could sum up who I am and what I do they would be:
Singer. Songwriter. Composer. Musician. Writer. Mentor. Stylist. Retail-Guru
(I know the last one is technically not a word…but just go with it).
Music and Writing have been the two biggest components of my life so far. I have been writing everything from short stories, poetry, to full fledge novels since I was 7 years old. When I was little, I read all the time. Eventually I just started making up my own stories. My mom taught me how to use her old typewriter (I was born in 1990 ya’ll don’t get scared) and I would come up with all kinds of characters, and mysteries for them to solve. It was so much fun. Since I was an only child, having a vivid imagination was really beneficial. I never ran out of ideas…I always had something to create. Artistic expression is basically the blood that runs through my veins!
When people meet me they don’t always know how to label me. I move to the beat of my own drum…even when no one else is dancing. I don’t really worry about fulfilling anyone else’s expectations of who I should be or what I should look like. The way I dress…that is another big part of who I am. I never do anything half-way. I am definitely an original.
I find joy in simple things…like good food, big hair, Korean Soap-Operas (don’t judge me), and going on random adventures. I try my best to see the humor in life; so I tend to laugh a great deal. Being able to find the funny things in the everyday struggle really helps to change my perspective of many of the situations that I face.
My life isn’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination…but it is a blessed one. I try not to take anything or anyone in it for granted. I am constantly learning how to become the person that I am meant to be. And, I have learned how to forgive myself when I fall short. Imperfection can be beautiful and I am constantly challenging myself, to see beauty where others see flaws.
