Hello again! Welcome back to the last post on Las Vegas until I get the chance to go back. A year from me beginning this draft (October 1), my mom and I were on our way out there for the first time! I cherish the memories made and thank God for them. I have a couple more travel experiences to recap so let's go ahead and get into this[...]
There aren't many topics I'm nervous to write about, but this is one of them. My ultimate goal on here is to be as real as possible with you all about the deep struggles of life, and this is certainly one of them, so why do I get insecure writing about my experiences with it? I guess it goes back to a lot of things I've internalized abou[...]
By the time I was in my second year of high school, I had a shift in mindset—and it wasn't for the good. I was normally a positive, happy-go-lucky girl who never dared doubt or question God. That all seemed to turn upside down as I went through eighth grade, a challenging year for many reasons. I know I've talked about this time of[...]
I wonder how long you've heard this idea and perhaps, more than likely, believed it yourself. That if you want something, as long as you put in the work, you'll get it. That everything in your future and life depends on you and what you do to make it happen. That if you want to change your life, you can go ahead and do it. That if you're[...]
Who doesn’t love a good quote? I’m always saving new ones I find on my Pinterest here, and I have referenced my favorites so many times. Eloquent and wise words can be so helpful when you feel down or just need to be inspired to press on. I’ve also written several blog posts where I break down things I’ve learned from some of my f[...]
Hi everyone! Another long time with no post. When I thought about whenever I was going to blog again, of course I had my list of reasons for my absence, such as finals for school, being busy, etc., but really, I could tell something was off that went far deeper than that. After all, I’m a pretty passionate person, and I love to make tim[...]
I have a confession to make. Immediately after coming home from the wonderful trip I recapped (as well as things I learned!) here, I basically ignored all of that and allowed my mind to recess back into its previous negative mindsets. And when they came back, they came back strong. This lasted a good few days after my trip. I tried to jus[...]
I don't know if I've ever been one to just follow my heart, a common cliche line that this society loves. This Bible verse alone should make you hesitant on following that advice: “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” — Jeremiah 17:9 NIV Lots of people just rush into decisions based[...]
Whenever I do a blog post specifically titled "An Honest Post," it's probably really personal to me. I mean, ALL of my blog posts are personal and honest; I make sure to keep them that way, but there are some topics that even I feel more hesitant to talk about, or I just need a disclaimer to be completely real and raw because some things[...]
