I am sixteen going on seventeen...


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 always being there for me and cheering me up and showing me how to enjoy the little things in life. 

Thank you to my friends for the inside jokes, the laughter, and the support you guys gave me. 

Thank you to all of the people I've loved, been friends with, and knew. I wish we were still close, but thank you for loving  me and being there for me in some of my darkest times.

Thank you to all the future people who I will fall in love with and hold dear.

Now get ready for some throwback photos... 









Thanks for the memories, everyone.

We Need Ratings for Books

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...

Happy fourth of July!! If you're an American I hope you have a great day of celebrating the freedom of this amazing country, and if you're not American I still hope you have a great day! I thought I had to stay home today because of burns on my arms and legs and it's too hot to wear pants outside right now, but luckily I got fewer burns than I thought on my legs so I can pass with band-aids. I've been reading about the American Government for school, and America is such a complex country, I firmly believe America is one of the best countries ever, sure we have our fair share of #issues, but I hope we can come together soon and become a strong and diverse nation. So happy fourth, y'all!  And here's a video from Studio C that never fails to make me laugh:
