Five Years


I've been blogging for five years. Five years that have brought me from a thirteen-year-old who was caught up in imaginary worlds, to an eighteen-year-old who's looking to dive into college courses and possible jobs. 

When I started the blog, I didn't expect it to change this much. I've pretty much tried all the different kinds of posts I could do, and it's been fun. There have been points where I've felt like quitting and times where I've felt like it wasn't worth it, but every time I go to leave, I always feel God telling me to come back. The amazing friendships I have made here and the awesome comments that y'all leave have made this blog one of my favorite places. 

As I look back on the years, it amazes me to see how I've changed, and how the blog has changed with me. But the one thing that always stands out is how amazing y'all have been. 

So thank you, whether you've been here for five years, or five days, or five minutes, thank you for making this blog what it is. Your reading, and support means the world to me.

As I look forward to the next year and anticipate the changes coming for this blog I praise God that I have friends like y'all to share the journey with. 

Thank's for making blogging worth it.

    1. Thank you, Broklyne! Oh, thats a good question! I think the biggest lession I've learned is that Christ has to be at the center of everything I do. I tried so many times to do things on my own, and I ended up so disadusfied, but when I invite God to come and be the center, and I let Him lead me, I've been so much more sadusfied. Also I've learned that you can't stop doing what you feel called to based on other peoples reacation.
      Thank you so much for stopping by!
