The Aesthetic Tag
So Kara tagged me and I'm doing it, one because this is an aesthetic tag, and I ADORE aesthetics. Two, because this is suppose to be a tag that starts a raw conversation, so I will be 100% honest in this tag (I'm always honest on here, but having a writing blog keeps me off of most serious subjects and I try to be pretty upbeat on here and in real life).
Rules
2. Tag at least three friends who you know enjoys being authentic and real or their blog seems to be that message.
3. Answer all questions if possible and if they don't apply to you, explain why.
1. Post a no-makeup photo. Don't take and retake. You have one shot. It's so easy to take a photo over and over in a world of digital cameras, but before in the world of one step cameras and film, that just wasn't possible.
This selfie turned out really well and I'm kinda amazed... wow. XD I'm pretty chill with showing my bare face, but I LOVE makeup so I usually wear that instead because it's so much fun.
2. The last song you listened to. If you don't remember exact song, then cd (spotify or youtube may help you in this ;).
Why by Sabrina Carpenter, it's so cute!
3. A collage of pictures that show you. Pinterest is helpful in this or use your own (I used Pinterest, except for the picture of the girl, that's me).
I feel like a character in a book now...
4. One moment in your life when God was all you had.
So not so long ago (a few months) I was going through a tough time, I am not very good at adjusting to changes and I was really stressed about a number of things, and I was at my co-op and we were having a party.
I was walking across the room when I just got hit with the feeling of loneliness, and everything became too much. I freaked out and I ran into the bathroom, to the very last stall, and I literally curled up into a ball on the floor.
I am not a germophobe, but I normally wouldn't get near a bathroom floor. I just cried. I asked God why this was happening to me and what was happening to me. I wanted to die, I had never felt so alone in my life.
When I came to my senses I stood up and started calling my mom until she picked up her phone. She came, found me, calmed me down, and then we went home.
During that week I didn't want to live anymore. I thought I would be better off dead, that everyone else would be better off if I was gone too, and that scared me, so I started praying like I never had before.
I am better now. I do have my moments, but I am getting better and I did come out stronger out of this.
(Sorry if that was depressing, I try to keep most things light, but I felt like I needed to be truthful and write about that, because those two weeks were some of the darkest of my life).
I haven't even told most of my friends because how does one causally bring something like this up? I don't want people to treat me differently, but I also want to honest and upfront about it.
Just know that if you're going through something like that, and you feel trapped, that it's temporary. Life has it's ups and downs, but don't forget about all the things you have to live for. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, so don't even let yourself think that far. <3
5. Last picture you pinned on Pinterest.
6. What is one thing your readers may not know about you?
Well, that story above for one, but I also don't think most people know that I actually HATED reading until around nine.
Psalm 91:2-6
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God in him I will trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
8. A book that impacted you greatly.
The Phantom of the Opera, which was the first book that really got me into reading.
9. Your greatest fear.
It's tied between rejection and failure.
10. A word or quote that describes you
Redeemed. (Okay, maybe that word is overused, but it doesn't make it any less true).
11. A fictional character you relate to deeply.
Dorcas Lane from Larkrise to Candleford.
There's this part where she whispers, "I have many weaknesses," and it was such a pivotal moment in the series, and I could relate so much.
12. If you could describe your greatest dream in one sentence, what would it be?
Honestly: to be happy, where I'm meant to be in life, and to be serving my Lord.
I tag....
Since most of the bloggers I know choose not to show their faces, I'll be leaving this tag open. If you decide to do this, be sure to link back to Kara Lynn.
What do you think about honesty?
