Things I've learned in the past five years

Hello lovely people!

So, as you guys may have known (or not) I just turned 22 and I wanted to share about some things I've learned in my adult years or just in my life period.

I would say that I've learned to really lean on God because I've gone through many tough situations where I've depended on people to come through for me but just when I needed them most, they let me down. And I've been let down multiple times. So, through this hurt and disappointed, God really opened my eyes to realize that God is really the only source for all of our problems.

I've also learned to be more patient. Patient for things that I want to see change in my life and being more patient with those closest to me like my family and friends.

I've learned how to navigate conflict. Before I entered adulthood, I didn't deal with many people so I never had to learn how to handle conflict outside of my family. I feel like conflict with my family is a bit easier to resolve than conflict with friends. I'm still learning about my friends, but with my family I feel like I know there is to know about them. So, with the different personalities and everything and still being new to having relationships with people outside of my family. So, dealing with different people has been the biggest struggle in my life so far.

I've also learned to have more faith and not predict when God is going to do something but trusting in his word and believing that he'll sustain me. I've learned to let God have the upper hand on all of my circumstances because if I don't, I'll feel like I'm losing control and overwhelming myself.


I've learned a lot about emotions and how controlling they can be if you let them. Of course, as I've already discussed in a previous post that I had a season of sadness and I was very hard on myself in that season. Thinking things like "no one will ever accept me" and "I'll never be good enough" and all of those kinds of things. But, I'm learning how to have more control of my emotions and what I'll allow myself to think about or believe.

More lighthearted thing I've learned is writing more effectively and creatively. I've learned how to project more with my singing voice. I've been more committed to both singing and writing this year and am praying for an open door to allow me to use my God given gifts.

I've learned a bit more about cooking. um... I think i've learned a ton this year. Which is something i'm very proud to say. If more comes to mind i'll edit this post and add it in.

Are you a Pessimist or a Optimist?

Hi Everyone!

I was reading this book about writing and it had many great questions to ask yourself inside the book. It was called Juicy Writing. I thought it was a very good book and it really made me think. I'd like to know are you mostly a pessimistic or a optimistic?

Of course, I wish I was a bit more optimistic at times. Especially in the worst of times I have to admit I'm not able to see any good while I'm in the moment of a hard time. I'm a worrier also so I guess I'd consider myself a pessimist more so than a optimist.
But lately what's been helping me become lifted in the midst of a hard time or bad day is sitting in a peaceful place listening to great peaceful Christian music or inspirational music and just allow God's divine peace to soak up my heart. As I sit there in my chair near the window, I look out the window and observe God's many beautiful creations.

And of course, since we all aren't perfect, I have my days where I just don't feel any ounce of inspiration or happiness whatsoever. I keep my head down and stumble along almost like the world is going on around me but I'm not even aware of what's really going on. At times I tend to build up so many negative thoughts that it's hard to escape it.

So yes, being a pessimist is a struggle for me. But it's just another thing to add to the list where I need God's help. And the great thing about that, God doesn't care how long our list of "I need help" is because he's patient and always able and ready to assist.
