A few people enjoyed the chicken story enough for me to want to share two more. One of them is a story about how I made people laugh, and the other one is a story for you to smile and *maybe* smack your forehead. We will start with when I made people laugh: In my…
Read MoreSomething New
Well, shoot guys. I want to write but have no inspiration currently. I’m going to try something new in the entry today. Today is October 17, 2021. It’s a Sunday. I woke up and didn’t feel like going to church. I told my roommate, and she said, “Then don’t go.” Just saying that and releasing…
Read MoreDo Your Best?
I’m letting you know that my friend who reads the posts before I post them (she’s so nice to do that for me) said that you’ll probably understand it better the second time you read it. It’s a lot to digest. Good luck and enjoy! 😋😘🥰 In institute choir one day, my teacher excitingly exclaimed,…
Read MoreFighting For Us
I took seminary for three years in high school, but I never really liked it. It wasn’t my thing, and it didn’t make me happy. Moving up to college, I decided to take institute. Institute is similar to seminary but is specifically for college kids. I’ve been in institute for a month now, and I…
Read MoreSecuring Yourself on a Strong Foundation
It is now June 17, and I started this post back in January sometime. You see, I have to be motivated to write or nothing comes out of my head, and if anything does, it sounds like trash. Sooo sorry I’ve been gone a long time. Hopefully, this post lives up to your expectations. Oftentimes,…
Read MoreThe Joy of Journaling
I’ve always been an avid journal writer. It all started when I was nine years old, in 3rd grade. I was super sick with a fever for 17 days, so they decided to take me to the hospital to get medicine. However, my fever broke and I was feeling better, so they changed their mind…
Read MoreFinding Comfort During The Chaos
As a high school senior, economics and government are required classes to graduate. They are both one semester. I finished economics last semester and am now in American Government. Last week, my teacher was gone for two days and had planned our assignment via canvas online. On Thursday, the first sentence for his lesson was:…
Read MoreLife is a Roller Coaster
October 23 was the last day I opened this post. I typed the title and entered my title picture and called it good. I do that a lot; I write the title and maybe a sentence or two, and then I stop writing for a few days. I gather my thoughts and then when I…
Read MoreHappiness Exists. I Promise
Well, it’s been a little while. Normally it takes me about 7-10 days since the last post to get something written, edited, checked, and sent out into the world. As of the 24th of September, it has officially passed the 12 day mark, and I didn’t have it done by then either. The days are…
Read MoreThe Power Within
As life goes on each day, it is clear to me that there is a lot of suffering in the world. It is heartbreaking and heart-wrenching and heavy on the soul. This sounds silly that I’m mentioning youtube, but there was a YouTuber recently who lost her husband to suicide. I watched her goodbye video…
Read MorePockets Full of Rocks
Two and a half weeks ago, I was in charge of our family church meeting at home. My dad had asked me to provide a ten to fifteen minute lesson. To be frank and honest, I completely forgot about it until he asked if I was ready to go five minutes before it was my…
Read MoreThe Big Picture
It’s okay, you can say it….I’ve been slacking. Eeek! I started this post over a week ago, and I haven’t put in the work to finish it. Whoops! The week of July 26th, I was only scheduled one day for the week (for work). I felt super discouraged as I looked at my schedule. I…
Read MoreMy Dream Job
Believe it or not, school has started here in Gilbert. Because of Covid-19, we are currently going to school online. Using Microsoft teams, zoom, and canvas, we are doing our best to get used to the new normal. Eww I know. One of my classes this year is AP Literature and Composition. On Friday, the…
Read MoreBy Divine Design
Sunday and Saturday, the 25th and 26th of July, were really hard days for me. I wrote several entries in my journal expressing my pain: My poor heart is hurting. There is a special kind of hurt that I don’t feel all that often. Most times, there is a constant and perpetual heaviness on my…
Read MoreToxic Positivity
Before learning what validation was, I always thought that I was just a very pessimistic person. I felt angry, irritated, and confused every time someone told me to “just be positive” or to “be happy” or to see the cup as “half full” instead of “half empty.” It hurt me because I knew I couldn’t…
