5 Things You Don't Know About Me; 3 words I'd use to describe myself

Today's post is going to be all about letting y'all know a little about me. Not my past, not struggles, not tips. Just simply to learn more about me.

Here is 5 things you don't know about me

1. I use to be a beauty queen. I have won so many pageants (I have a case of all of the crowns and trophies). I quit after I started college.

2. I am in college to become an American Sign Language Interpreter.

3. I'm an avid reader. I love, love, love reading. I can read anything from fiction, to fantasy, to true stories. It doesn't matter, I love to read.

4. I have a HUGE love for fuzzy blankets. When my anxiety and depression starts acting up I love to take a fuzzy blanket and curl up in it. It makes me feel safe and comforted.

5. I have 5 tattoo's. My first was a tulip with the stem being the date my step-mom adopted me. My second is an infinity with the word Resilient, a feather, and some birds. My third is a cross on my wrist. My fourth is the I love you sign (Sign language) on the back of my neck. The fifth is a semi colon beside the cross on my wrist; it's a constant reminder that with through my anxiety and depression that God will forever be there for me.

Here is 3 words I'd use to describe myself.

1. Honest

I honestly (haha) can't lie worth anything. And believe me I have tried, especially back in high school. I always tell on myself. If someone point blank asks me something I cannot lie to them. If I try, I start shaking and get really anxious and then I end up telling them anyways. My fiancé says at least he never has to worry about me doing anything behind this back because I'd end up telling him if I did.

2. Caring

I always care for people. I don't even have to know them and I will care for them. I'm that person that always give 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. etc. etc. amount of chances. It doesn't matter what someone does to me, I will always give chances and do what I can to take care of someone. I also HATE to think I hurt someone else. I would much prefer I suffer than for another to.

3. Resilient

I know that I will be able to overcome anything and everything that is thrown my way. My past has proved that to me. I know that I'm resilient and along with that it makes me strong, courageous, and happy. TO be resilient means that you can bounce back when something terrible happens to you; such as my past.

So there you have it! Just a few things about me! If you ever have something you want to chime in please feel free! I'd LOVE to hear from you all!!

Embracing Imperfection ~ Scars

There are many different posts I can make about "Embracing Imperfection" that's why I added a part to the title regarding this specific post Scars . We all can recognize what an external scar on the skin is; we've all fallen a few times and gotten a scrape that turns into a scar, in some cases the scar fades over time and in other cases they don't. But no-one really takes into account our internal scarring...why is that? Now I don't mean literally inside our body like scar tissue from a surgery, I mean our emotional scarring. The scarring that is so evidently present to us but no-one else sees it. If you take a look at the definition of a scar (just a scar in general) it, of course goes over other details but it also says that it is the process of wound repair and that it is a natural occurrence in the healing process . Let me repeat this...it is the process of wound repair and a natural occurrence in the healing process. What is the difference in that defi

Don't Give Them the Satisfaction

We all know what rejection feels like...no I don't mean getting turned from a guy or girl, I mean the rejection of being told you can't or maybe you won't be good at it, or anything else related those. So what I am about to tell you is super important....are you ready?? Don't give them the satisfaction! It's hard to keep going when you are told you can't do something or that you won't be good at something, but don't give the person the satisfaction of you quitting no matter what. Now, I'm not saying that every person who tells you that you won't be able to do something is meaning it in a cruel or malicious intent in mind, the person could just have your best interest in mind but still don't let them tell you what you have the ability to do. It's tough, trust me I know. When someone tells me I won't be good at something, will have a hard time with something, or that I just don't have the skills it hurts and it's hard to not gi

My Story Begins

My story is one that people around my community do not know, in fact the majority of even my friends are unaware. This is my way of getting this out, my way of letting people know and understand, and to Share the Glass Slipper ! There were times in high school that probably would have been a lot smoother had the teachers, staff, and students knew why I was the way I was. They didn't understand why I would prefer to have my nose in a book than to communicate with my classmates. This is my story, the one that has been told to very few people, aside from the strangers in my Washington DC presentation. From the time I was born until I was almost four I lived with my biological mother. During this time my 'first step-father' and mother moved me and my sisters from Alabama to Mississippi, away from my Father. My story begins, however, when my mother and 'first step-father' divorced and she moved in with another man. So now you ask what happened? During a visitation wit
