About Me

Hey.

This is my face

This is my face

My name is Olive. I’m a 24 year old Wasian who talks and writes entirely too much. I’m currently employed as an in-house copywriter under the Vanity Fair Corporation in New York City with past experiences at O, The Oprah Magazine and Calvin Klein Inc.

And you know what else?

I’ve got stories. Lots of them.

Some bizarre.

Some inspirational.

Some entertaining.

All true.

Why?

Because I’ve written everyday for the last 10 years collecting these bad bitches along the way.

So I decided to create a storytelling blog about “All Of The People” that have inspired, amazed and mostly humored me through my journey of life thus far. Hence “Olive The People.”

But only because.

I want to be the person that makes you feel uncomfortable in your cubicle/in public because you’re laughing so damn hard.

I want to be the person that makes you think about this shenanigan called life. And then make you think about it again. Just.a.little.bit.differently.

I want to be the person that makes you crave adventure, revel in amusement and become addicted to inspiration.

Or.

Just appreciate the people that do.

And finally.

I want to be your damn friend.

Because I think we’d be awesome at that.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is.

My name is Olive, and I believe in living a life worth writing about. And hell, one worth reading about too. I’m having the time of my life, and you’re welcome to join me.

Some sort of regards,

Olive The People
