Christmas has always been a favorite time of year for me. I love lights, all the family time, decorating trees, music, and the inescapable reminder to the world of a Savior born. It does not come without it’s cons these days though. I suppose that’s how you know you’re an adult... or arriving to that … Continue reading christmas thoughts
Reflecting
There was a time for me when life never felt good. I knew I was blessed, but there is a difference between knowing something and fully recognizing it as the profound truth that it is. I knew the Lord loved me. I knew my family loved me. I had a roof over my head, clean … Continue reading Reflecting
On Being Married at 18 (a life update)
Hello, blogger friends! I suppose now's a good time to tell you that I've been married for almost two months now! (it will be two months in ten days!) And that's exciting for me! The only hard thing has been that not everyone has been as excited for me. Much of the culture today doesn't … Continue reading On Being Married at 18 (a life update)
Thoughts on Dealing with Stress
It's interesting to think about how when I was younger, all I ever did was wish that I was eighteen. I lived for the day I'd be an official "adult." At thirteen, it felt like a lifetime of years away, but now, at the age of eighteen, it felt like a second. Days would sometimes feel … Continue reading Thoughts on Dealing with Stress
Not Afraid to Love Others
I wouldn't say I've been through anything much in comparison to other people with more severe sob stories to tell. If you've read my previous posts, you know I haven't been in a house fire or had a parent die or something like that. I haven't had severe burns or a terminal illness or been … Continue reading Not Afraid to Love Others
Merry Thanksgiving
It's now November 2nd. The death of spooky season has arrived, and I'm already seeing Christmas ads on YouTube TV and Pinterest. As someone anticipating the arrival of December, this is profoundly exciting for me. Not only to see my best friend again, but I just love Christmas in general. However, it would be untruthful … Continue reading Merry Thanksgiving
On Being Patient (and v impatient)
Is anyone else already anticipating December? I have honestly been waiting since May. Before you jump on me for skipping summer, spooky season, and fall with the intent to bring Christmas up from the North Pole prematurely, let me explain why. My best friend's been gone since May 2nd, back to the faraway land of … Continue reading On Being Patient (and v impatient)
Pressure in Spooky Season
Hi everyone! Long time no post, I know. The theme of the last few months has just been P R E S S U R E. I recently graduated, got back from lots of traveling, and am "settling down" for the holidays in my little Florida town. And as we all know, it's currently sPoOky … Continue reading Pressure in Spooky Season
Shredding My Oldest Journals (NOT CLICKBAIT)
Yep, you read that right everyone. It was an idea I've been toying around with for a while now. If you're familiar with my blog (or me personally) you'll know I've been an avid writer from a young age and have consistently kept a journal since I was eleven after years of inconsistency with it. … Continue reading Shredding My Oldest Journals (NOT CLICKBAIT)
Yikes, Sorry I Like Never Post LOL
To the few people who perhaps actually look forward to my few and far between blog posts.
