I love to talk to people, but at the same time, I love being alone. I am so outgoing and conversational, but on a weekend when I have the option to, I honestly prefer to relax by myself and do quiet things, like watch documentaries while sewing, or reading. I have no fear in talking to a large group of people (unless I embarrass myself) but rather, I love to go on walks by myself and spend time with myself. I enjoy picking and choosing when I am with people and interacting because I get socially drained easily. Thoughts will do that to you, if your mind is always racing with thought but your mouth is only choosing the things to say that will cater to the like of other people.
I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I thought I was so cool to act so old, as I would put the children to bed, do dishes, play with children, and watch the house until the parents got home late at around 10 PM. After I babysat and I would go to school feeling mature, I would then realize I was still, only 12. I could choose if I wanted to text boys and do makeup, or play with my American Girl Dolls. Adults saw me as a child, but I saw myself as not a child. As I grew older, I have never stopped learning when to pick and choose how I behave. How old I act, what I enjoy, its all up to me. Its all up to me when I am social, its all up to me when I spend time alone, and I am grateful for that luxury.
As much as it is enjoyable to hang out with people, its also very important to allow yourself to "charge". Do a face mask, take a bubble bath, watch your favorite show, go on a walk, whatever can reset your mind. In my experience, it is good to take at least an hour a week to yourself, to charge, to relax, and prepare for another week of decisions.
Relaxation is also important to moderate. Working every day all day is not healthy, but neither is relaxing every day all day, which also ties into the idea of balance. Decisons come aorund every day, but balance will help you be the most mentally strong.
Hello b10ggers!
Its been a while since I have done a simple how-to post, and today I would like to give you all an insight to something that I love to do, which is public speaking! I have been public speaking since I was in the first grade, when I had a speaking part at the school assembly. I basically just said the name of three fruits that are healthy for you. After this though, I really grew as a speaker and knew that public speaking was something I wanted to do. I did plays and musicals all throughout elementary and middle school, sometimes getting speaking roles, and sometimes not. I spoke at my first communion in the second grade in front of hundreds, I mc'd my fourth grade assembly by myself, I delievered dozens of presentations to my classes throughout middle school willingly, I spoke at my middle school assemblies, and countless other examples of public speaking. I am so grateful for all of the opportunities I have made for myself and been given. This upcoming Monday I actually have a presentation about Indigenous rights infront of my entire school of 400+! How do I do it? What gives me confidence? Keep reading! Me, in Boston, while filming a video for youtube, which is a form of public speaking.
1. What is stopping you? "Fear does not stop death. It stops life. And worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles. It takes away today's peace."
My Dad sent me this quote a few weeks ago and it has really sat with me since then.
Fear. Worry. Embarrassment. Disability. Is that was is stopping you? Where is your source of hesitation coming from? What stops you from going after it?
In my situation, I throughly enjoy public speaking, and you may not which is okay! But, it is a good skill to have when you need it. The majority of people who name their source of hesitation will probably say fear. You really have to think though, will I still be fearful after? Why is this fear different? What am I afraid of? Everything happens for a reason, so if you mess up, its probably a good thing. Hold on to what is stopping you and turn around the situation.
You can live your life in fear or you can live it with drive. Why are you so scared of the future? Why do you fear the unknown? I mean, if it will benefit you, why not try it? You will find your own answer for what is stopping you by sitting down and asking yourself these questions. Have a discussion with yourself and tell yourself to not be afraid. Only you can fix your own issues. I guarantee you that it really is not that big of a deal. After all, aren't we all just on a floating rock?
2. Time is Relative.
You probably aren't even really worried that much about the speech itself, but rather how long you have to do it for. You can read, right? As long as you can read and can physically speak loud then you have all the components to do it. The time though, you have to remember doesn't even exist. We made time up! Like, in the whole universe, do you think anywhere else has a time system? Fear nothing. You are the one thing in life you can control. How will you make a difference in your speech? Will you be remembered? You have the power to decide if you want people to remember your speech by deciding how exciting it will be. It can give off whatever vibes you want. What do you want people to get from it? What is the goal? It is up to you.
3. Hype yourself up!
Yes, you are the coolest person in the room. Yes, everyone is looking at you. Yes, you have the power to deliver what informatin you want. What will you do with this power? Real talk, look in the mirror before hand and tell yourself you will do great. Be positive! Talking yourslef down will only make you feel worse about the event. How can you make it a positive experience? I'm sure you want to enjoy the speech, so change your mindself to help you overcome it. If you are challenged, think about how you can get around that challenge and excel in other areas. Try positive affirmations. I repeat them to myself in the mirror each morning to start my day off with positivity.
Some examples:
- I am beautiful
- I am strong
- I am able to do what I put my mind to
- I am the one thing in life I can control
- I am original
- I am inamitable
Tell youself what you want to be told! You are your own biggest critic. Hype yourself up you, you got this.

“In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” - Genesis 3:19
This is a weird verse to be my favorite, but the logical way in which I interpret it gives an insight into my world view.
This verse concludes God's curse on Adam for his sin.
"For dust you are and to dust you will return."
We come from dust and we end as dust.
We are all born on the same earth and we all die on the same earth. We all live the same, breath the same air, and eat the same. We all share hate on this earth, we all share love on this earth. No feelings or thoughts are exclusive.
Natural laws: a body of unchanging moral principles regarded as a basis for all human conduct.
The only reason why other humans are thought of as better than others because of castes and hierarchys that we have made up and created as a society.
Nobody is better than anyone else. Although we think of others as better than us, on a real note, we all share the same life.
We are all born the same and die the same.

ABOUT ME
I look back on what I love to do and writing is something that has always been consistent. When I had to begin a blog for my eighth grade class project, I thought I would get a good grade on it and never have to touch it again. Years into the future, I have realized that blogging is something I have a passion for. Through some stories, some memoirs, some poems, and some essays, take a look at the interests I have and the writings I have made.
