Welcome to The Grey Area!

I’m so happy you’re here.

If you don’t know me, my name is Greyson. I go by Greyson Kimberly on social media (Kimberly is my middle name), but I grew up as Greyson Lake and now I’m Greyson Wilson. People close to me just call me Grey! My husband, Braxton, and I got married in May 2022 and it was the best day of our lives! Braxton is a full-time concert promoter and entertainment buyer, while I work full-time as a Consultant at a healthcare software company. We both graduated from Clemson University (Go Tigers!) and now live in Greenville, SC with our Golden Doodle soulmate, Bowman. We live very busy lives, but that doesn’t stop me from this little “side hustle” — oversharing on the Internet.

So that brings me here! When I say “here”, I honestly don’t really know what that means. I’ve had this space on the internet for years (like since Instagram filters and peace sign duck face selfies were popular), but over the last 3 years I’ve decided to take it a bit more seriously in terms of shamelessly sharing my life, posting shopping deals, & organically connecting with people. It has been a lot of fun to see the ways social media can transform a simple post into a life changing moment for people, especially over the last few years. I definitely don’t consider myself your typical “blogger” or “content creator”, but knowing that I can share random pieces of my life through a screen and connect with someone else makes me really excited and passionate about this online platform I’ve created.

Which brings me to this blog. I’ve been thinking… I live an incredibly blessed life and post about pretty much all of it (the highlights, anyway). But aside from photos and savvy captions, I haven’t made it a point to document these amazing experiences in a way that we can go back and re-live them with every detail and all the real-life moments in between. Social media is pretty black & white in terms of what people post and how others perceive it. What’s been missing from mine is all the gray area…or in my case, the “Grey” area.

I like to think there are several versions of Grey…”shades” of Grey, if you will: the always-put-together wife who helps host every event while wearing the cutest outfits for a perfectly curated Instagram feed, the lazy girl who hasn’t showered yet and just wants to binge Netflix and eat extra buttery popcorn straight out of the bag, the over-achieving Type 3 Enneagram who works extra hard to keep her clients happy despite corporate burnout, the “influencer” who shares all the shopping deals and travel photos, the small-town girl who needs a long drive down a backroad with some gas station boiled peanuts and a big hug from mom & dad…the list goes on and on. Each day presents a different shade of Grey. A different version of me.

So here’s what you can expect to read about on this blog — traveling the world with my best friends, the not-so-glamorous moments, shopping way too much and sharing all the deals, hanging with celebrities at my husband’s concerts, my faith, cooking new recipes but messing them up 90% of the time, decorating my house, books I’m reading, shows I’m watching, my golden doodle soulmate Bowman, local businesses I love, my family, and ultimately being a 25 year old navigating life as a wife, daughter, sister, friend, working woman, and social media [micro]influencer. (I still think calling myself any form of influencer is weird…but I’m growing into it.) But here’s the catch - I’m not going to put pressure on myself to make this blog something it’s not, because that’s when things become less real. Maybe I’ll post 3 blog posts in one day. Maybe I’ll go weeks without posting. But either way, this is MY “Grey area” & I want to share it with y’all.

If you’ve read this far, I’m impressed because I’m not sure any of this makes sense. I guess the whole point of this is that social media is something I’m pretty good at, and it brings me joy. And life is too short to not do what makes you happy! So I’m taking a leap of faith and just going for it. Without further ado, here goes nothin —

This is The Grey Area. A blog about everything in between. A blog about every shade of Grey. By @greysonkimberly. 🤍
