New Beginnings

Lately I feel like I've gone through a lot of changes. Change is good though. I called this post "New Beginnings" because that's what this is. Sometimes breaking away from the past and finding new things that truly make you happy are the best things that could ever happen to you. For me, I found God (I've always been a Christian, and gone to church, but I never felt like I had a personal relationship with him). I have developed a really amazing and intimate relationship with God where I journal to him nearly every day. I feel like I can't get enough of his love. But finding God isn't the only "new beginning" in my life, I am newly single, and I am learning to enjoy being by myself and just do things that make me happy. I have spent countless hours writing and listening to music these past few weeks. I can honestly say that I have never felt more at peace and more sure of myself in my whole life. I feel like I have undergone a self-transformation. I know who I am and I can see the kind of person I aspire to be as I grow older. I sit here in my favorite coffee shop, drinking my mocha as I write this to you. I have been able to let go of all of my cares and worries and I know that those things are things I will never be able to control. It's a nice feeling to not feel the weight of burdens on my shoulders. I feel so alive and free, and I thank God for everything he has done for me. I live a wonderful life, a life full of blessings.

I know that this post is a lot different than my past posts, but I have decided that I want to write about life a little more and judge others less. Although I have always enjoyed playing fashion police, I think that I see myself enjoying life and giving fashion advice even more. My goal with this blog will be to write about life as it relates to me, and of course share some of my favorite things. Things like: fashion, music, books, and much more.

This blog is a good representation of how I have grown this past year and where I see myself ending up in the future. Thanks for reading, hope you're looking forward to my new beginning just as much as I am. You are awesome, by the way. Just in case you didn't already think so(:

love,

Life

Okay so this summer I have experienced some pretty big changes in my life, my friends who may be reading this will probably smile as they read it because they know all too well what I'm talking about. Anyways I have been writing a ton. And it's so awesome. So basically, the reason I am writing this post is to inform you all that I will be broadening the topics that I will write about. I am not only going to write about fashion and style, but also just about myself and life in general, the blog is called "life as me" after all(: Anyways I hope you all enjoy reading what I have to say.

Summer

Well it's that time of year again. School is out for summer and here we are. Summer means no makeup, natural hair, and tiny shorts. Right? WRONG. As I have gotten older, I found that I have gained some wisdom. Short shorts aren't cool, and if you're wearing them neither are you. Be classy. Show some self-respect and cover up your cheeks. Haha, oh summer. You bring out so many fashion don'ts. That's all my fashion advice for today(: Now, let's talk about SUMMER. This summer is going to be fun. Do things that make you happy and try something new. If you're having a rough day, pick up a book and get lost in it. I have had some rough days this last week and I'm not afraid to admit that I may have ignored my personal hygiene. But newsflash: if you look like crap, you are definitely going to feel like crap. So my advice is to grab a book, put your hair in a ponytail, throw on a little mascara and head to Starbucks. Once you're there order yourself something nice, and read your book. If you're not into reading, I don't believe you. Everyone should love to read. You just haven't found the right book yet. I went to this awesome bookstore in Westport KC the other day and I spent like fifty dollars on six books. I love bookstores and the whole time I was in there, they were playing Elvis Presley and some other old classics, how can you not love that. I guess you could say I've got an old soul..(; Anyways, look up a bookstore in your area, and just walk in. But don't go in looking for a specific book. Just walk in and go through the aisles. Grab the books that draw your eye and read their descriptions. Don't be afraid to ask people for some recommendations, you'd be surprised by how many great books you might find. I love reading and writing most of all. Can't you tell? haha well I guess that's all for today. By the way, I know you've missed me(:
