Face Your Demons

-
Facing my demons, I didn't really think I had them until I realized I hadn't been myself in a long time. It started with my first major break up last year, I was struggling with loss of love, self confidence, and doubt. I felt like if it didn't work with the guy I thought I was going to marry than how could it work with someone down the road. I was broken and I didn't want to face the fact that this man was the cause of all my pain. I had to confront him to move on and flourish into the woman I wanted to become. I talked to him over text because he is childish and honestly it sealed the deal for me right at that moment. After I talked to my ex, I contacted two other people that I felt I needed to close doors with to open new ones. I felt free. This really opened my heart up and I cried because I felt so dang good! I felt like I could move on in peace and write off that chapter in my life. I am glad that time in my life happened because I wouldn't have had to face those people and express how I was feeling as well as, stand up for myself. I felt amazing and it honestly changed my outlook on a lot of other aspects of my life. I am more outspoken then I have ever been in my life, I am a better friend, listener and counselor because I have been through some tough stuff in my life. I want my friends to feel the freedom that I have experienced by facing my own demons in my life. I think that if people faced their problems head on and realized it is going to be okay they will live happier lives altogether.

Friends

"You are who you surround yourself with." This rings true for many people and has definitely changed my life. I decided to change my group of friends my junior year of high school and I constantly am changing friend groups. These decisions come with the fact that I was happy with the friends I was with. They were mean, nasty, and selfish. I didn't think they were people whom I wanted to be surrounded with. They were always putting people down as well as making me feel bad about everything. I become a lot happier and nicer when I started making friends that were more like my own personality. They made me grow they didn't try to hold me back. This was the most import part of out friendship. THEY HELPED ME GROW AND FLOURISH. They love having people around me that instill something positive or helpful within me and I can do the same in their life. I don't have time for toxic people and those people that were in my life before now were all apart of God's plan b

What Makes You Happy?

Find something you love to do and makes you feel happy. For me it would have to be baking cupcakes, nothing special straight from the box but my secret is organic eggs. I like to bake a ton of cupcakes when I am feeling down, angry and even happy. It makes me feel satisfied when all my friends and I get together to decorate the cupcakes. I dye vanilla frosting into a bunch of different colors and sometimes even dye the cupcake batter just for fun. After the cupcakes are all decorated I will bring them to friends unexpectedly so that I could make someone else feel just as happy as I do about my cupcakes being beautiful. I know that this sounds simple and it just boxed cupcakes but I feel the happiest when I get to spend time with my friends or by myself doing something I enjoy. Finding something that makes you happy could be extremely small or huge but either way the most important part is that the actions make you feel happy and clear headed. I think trying a few different things t

Video Mashup

I found this project to be a lot of fun while also really challenging my abilities. I chose a lot of my videos from the archive site because it was super accessible. I used iMovie to do my video and I didn't realize how challenging it truly would be mostly downloading at the end because it is a big file and I tried to download it to my Vimeo account which was a disaster. The end of this project was a real struggle for me because it seemed like nothing was working and that usually is how it goes when you turn it in with ten minutes to spare. I though iMovie was super simple to use, I just downloaded my videos and cut them in there the way I wanted to because it was very similar to the way I cut videos when I do Twitter inserts for my job. You take the video shut off the audio cover it with yours a boom you got yourself a video. I chose to do mostly nature scenes as well as a little cute blurb of some puppies just because I thought they were adorable. I liked the different natur
