Where did you see yourself after high school?

A lot has been going through my mind everyone. I graduated May 21st, and I didn't even know what college I was going to. My mind was still in the "I am in high school" phase, but it was time for my mind to be on that "Get on your grind" phase. I know where I want to be in life, but I obviously can't get there without the help of God. The Lord showed me Birmingham-Southern College when I was loosing hope and deciding to settle. He told me that the plan he had for my life couldn't be formatted in my town. I had to eave and experience the world on my own while strengthening my relationship with God. He knew that my goals had to be achieved outside of Tennessee. We all have dreams, and mine is to be the best photographer out there. It may seem like a childish goal, especially when there are so many people in my chosen field. Will I let that stop me? Definitely not. I wasn't raised to not fight for what I want. So many disappointments have ruled over my life, but mostly from my Pops. The words that come from my mouth is that I am better than my dad, and I will be successful; however, how am I better than him, yet I can't keep my promises just like him. The stereotype in my family is that we all get pregnant before we leave high school. I am proud to say that I have beat that stereotype, but have I truly beat all of them. No, I don't keep my promises then I try to blame everyone else on why I cannot keep true to my word. Recently, I have discovered the rapper G-Eazy- shout out to my friend Joella. I listened to his music because it was attention grabbing, and he is extremely fine. After I watched a couple of interviews about his life, my infatuation changed from attraction to admiration. To hear his story, and see how successful he has become is really inspirational. I realized that I want to be like him. I want to understand the struggle because at the end God is preparing me for His task over my life. No one can tell me that this man (G-Eazy) hasn't achieved anything because he has basically started his own company. How many people can say that for themselves? I admire him, and if I ever got the chance to interview and have a photo shoot with him I would take it. Editing those photos would be epic to me because I would have to opportunity to show everyone that I am better than what they say about me. G-Eazy, if you ever read this, I would like to thank you for inspiring me. From his music and my friends, I have finally realized that I can't wait for the opportunities to come after me. The opportunities will come to me when I work extremely hard for them. Besides that melodrama, how has everyone been? Let me know and leave comments about what you all think about today's post.


Would you all like to hear some good news? Of course you do! I have been asked to be the junior editor for the newsletter Pampered Pretty by Ms. Corene Gardner. Which by the way you should check her business and newsletter out. Sadly, I will not be able to take the opportunity because I have started college, but I am grateful that I was even considered. During the summertime, I was on the production team for my church and I got to intern with Mr. Rodney in his photography business Media Messiah. How much excitement could one girl take! I have waited 5 long years for an opportunity to do something of this caliber. Thank you God, and thank you mom. My motivation and inspiration. It may not be a big break, but it's better than where I was before. Of course I can't forget my passion. Recently, I have been trying to start a photography club at the Boys & Girls Club named #ProjectCreate. This program is to ignite the children's brains to desire the beauty of Art or just to have a release. The only problem with my club is finding a grant or getting the money to purchase cameras and software etc. However, I am not going to stress over it. I will just keep fighting for my club because I want to help children. If you have any topic that you want me to discuss or elaborate on, just leave a comment. The scripture for today is Genesis 45:7-8. Make sure to check it out. I must say it is truly inspirational. It gave me hope when I had none, and for that I can only give thanks to God. Anyways, I love you all. Try to be more active in commenting; however, if you are going to be rude keep it to yourself. Have an excellent day!!!!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
