A Year at a Glance



Hey readers!
As you know, there are only a few days left of 2018...
Maybe you are writing out your resolutions for the new year, or maybe you're gonna wing it and hope for the best, or maybe you're scared of a new chapter might be starting in your book.
Wherever you are at with that, maybe you've got it right or wrong. I'm not so sure anymore. I always used to put everything in life into little boxes and try to keep my life as controlled and organized as possible. But now, as I get older, I am starting to see everything a bit differently than before. Why does everything have to be perfectly controlled by me? If something doesn't go how I think it will or something is different, should I really have a mental break down because I can't fix it?
In this past year, I have grown up a bit. I've gone through some tough stuff.
I have learned who I can trust and who is not a true friend. I have learned to accept the circumstances which I can not change. I have somewhat learned to accept how I look.
One important lesson I have learned is that even in negative circumstances, there is always a choice to have a positive outlook. I always used to be consumed by how others view me. I know now, to not care as much of what people think of me.
In this year, I have been sad, depressed, lonely, and hurt. But I've also felt, loved, happy, comforted, excited and every emotion possible.
I am so thankful for all the ups and downs of this year because I have grown stronger through it all. During those times I would have never realized that so much good can come out of a bad situation.
I don't know what you're going through right now, but just remember God has a bigger plan for your life, so don't waste it.
I love you all.
I hope this post helped you at least a little bit, this took a lot of courage on my part to write down my insecurities and things I struggle with. I am normally not very open about things like this, but as I said, I am learning.
Thank you all so much for coming along with me on this bumpy ride through the year.
Have an amazing rest of 2018. I'll see you next year :)
Love,

where did the time go?

                                            Hey readers, yep it's me. Did I disappear off this platform for almost a year? Yes, I did. About November of last year was the time I just stopped posting. November and December of 2019 were very tough months for me and I didn't have the time or energy to put effort into making a good post. January of 2020 I finally started getting my life back together. 2019 had done a number on me and felt like the worst year of my life. I had so much hope that 2020 would be my year. And for a while, it truly was, at least for the first three months. My skin was getting better, I was in great shape from basketball season, I was having fun with friends, and everything seemed to start to fit in its right place. Then COVID affected everything. March went from good to very bad in a matter of one weekend. Obviously, I have no right to complain because there were and are so many more people affected worse than I was. I never got sick, I didn't lose my

DIY Keyboard/Piano

Image
Hey guys!! It's Monday and I decided I would post how to make a small cardboard keyboard for those piano lovers out there! What really inspired me to do this was that I had a piano recital this Sunday and I thought it would be fun to do something piano themed. Anyways.. If you have any crafts or something themed that you would like me to do please write it down in the comments down below! Okay, now let's just jump into this! What your going to need:  1 piece of white cardboard, 1 piece of black cardboard, (if you don't have white and black cardboard you can paint your cardboard like I did.) 1 bottle of glue, (You can use a glue stick or glue gun if you prefer) and a pair of scissors.  Step 1: Cut your black sheet of cardboard up into seven rectangular pieces. (they should all be the same height) Step 2: Glue your cut out piece's onto your white sheet of cardboard. Place it so it looks like a piano. Then draw lines to mark each piano key.
