We Need Ratings for Books

Image
Guys, I wish books had ratings like movies did. Now, I can see someone commenting down below something along the lines of, " But Graayyyyy , they do have ratings!! You have jfict books written for twelve and below, YA written for teens, and NA written for a more college-aged audience, and then just Adult fiction written for, well, either advanced readers or older readerssssssssssss!!!!" But the thing is, one can go to blockbuster (okay, maybe not anymore, but I have to bring back that nostalgia *sighs* the good old days that weren't actually that good but I remember them in a golden filter for some reason), ANYWAYS , people could go to a certain section of the genre of the type of movie they wanted to see, but every movie in that genre also has a  s e p a r a t e   rating. For example, if I go to the horror section and pick up Signs , I can turn it to the back and see that it is rated PG-13 for some more intense moments. Then if I pick up let's say Along Came a...

- ̗̀ Finding Good People and Changing for the Better ̖́ -

Image
It's crazy, guys, I didn't know so many things before last month. I didn't know how I was lost. I didn't know what my goals were. I didn't know God. And among these things, I didn't know so many genuinely  good people existed. I'm not just talking nice, I mean good . People that you meet and feel like you've known your whole life, people who radiate light, people who strive to love endlessly, people who care about you without even having a reason why yet. People who you can go to. People who you can look up to. People that will try to pull you up instead of dragging you down. Good people. I thought people like the ones I know now were just a myth of a Christian. I thought the church I love now was just a fantasy. It wasn't, and I praise God that he led my family and I onto the right path. And now that I'm here, now that I'm growing , now that I'm learning to trust again, learning to love again, learning how to find peace and joy again, I ...

My Basic Eye Look // I cave and give y'all a cringe-fest of a tutorial

Image
Since I've gotten so many requests for makeup tutorials or help, I decided that it would be fun to post one. (also, I'm suddenly super busy and I did this post a few days ago with no plans to post it, but since I now have another part-time job!! andddd am in a new and very intense class, which I'll tell y'all about later, I'm just going to actually post this fluff). Now, since my makeup routine isn't very put together and I use whatever I can get my hands on for base stuff, I'm only going to be doing an eye look tutorial since it's one of the only things I think I'm kind of good at. This look is one of my go-tos, it's very easy and pretty. Also, it just occurred to me that I am super white and that these colors might not work on darker skin colors, but if you are darker or a POC, you can use different colors that will work better in place of the colors I'm going to be using. Let's get into it, I hope y'all enjoy, sorry to all my reade...

6 Books I Want to Read in 2019

Image
Obviously, I do plan on reading more books this year, but these are the ones I'm going to try to find and read. Chasing Jupiter - I've seen so many people raving on and on about this book, I need to get my hands on it! In 27 Days - Lisa keeps recommending this one to me, so it's about time to pick it up. Dronefall - I'm friends with A.L. Buehrer on goodreads and this book sounds so good, and that cover is epiccc.  😍 The Girl Who Drank the Moon - I wanted to read this last year, and I still haven't. It just looks so cute and I love the title. The Boy Who Steals Houses - I LOVED Cait's last book and I can't wait until this one, I mean, have you seen the Pinterest board for it?!?! Beautiful. Shallows - I can't remember who recommended this one to me, but it takes place in the sea (I'm a sucker for any books that have settings with water), and there's a mermaid, and apparently, it's clean. Have you read any of these? What books do you hope t...

identity, dreams, and future plans // concerning my writing, my life, and the future of this tiny space on the internet

Image
Hey all, it's been a minute, hasn't it?  Honestly, I'm not sure where to start... I'm happy, like really really happy. Of course, I'm not happy 24/7, I'm still struggling with some stuff, but I haven't felt this overall stable and content in a lonngggg time. I feel like I've finally found a place and a purpose in this world, and I know whatever happens that I have a direction.  Finally having a direction and a path I know I want to stick to is SUCH a relief, I can't even explain it. I'm still dealing with insecurities and downfalls, but I know I've come such a long way these past few weeks. Which is amazing, the other day I was in a crowded room and I couldn't find any of my friends, and the old me would have sat in a corner or worse gone to the bathroom to hide in a stall and have a panic attack, but the new me remained calm and sat down across from someone I knew the name of and got to know them a bit better.  This all brings me to my m...

I am sixteen going on seventeen...

Image
Hi, I'm here to announce that I've gotten older.  Now, that I'm sixteen I can fully appreciate  Sixteen Going on Seventeen from The Sound of Music , so people asking me my age could lead to a musical performance....  Anyways, fifteen was a very hard year, I cried a lot, learned a lot, and I feel like I've really grown as a person this year.  I became a Christian just a few days ago, which I sort of explain here .  I know that this new year of my life will have new challenges and I would be lying if I said I was ready or excited to face them head-on, but I know as long as I have my God, family, and friends behind me that I can make it through this year.  There will be a lot of changes this year, but despite all of the uncertainty, I am thankful.  Thank you to my parents, for helping to make me the person I am today and will be in the future. I appreciate your support and guidance more than I could ever express.  Thank you to my siblings, for...
