POST...KIND OF

Today there is no actual "post", but I did want to share some things today.

1. I plan to take today (and really the weekend) to gather inspiration and create quality content. Posts have been rolling out like toilet paper the last few days, but I feel like its time to really hone in on what my voice is and what I want to share on this little space of the internet. I have been pinning some helpful things that may help spark some new content in a fresh, new way.

2. I am working on setting some monthly blogging goals. Now, I don't want to get too hung up on numbers, i.e. followers, views, likes, and re-tweets, but it is important that my blog attract readers. I want to create content that is inspiring, thoughtful, meaningful, moving, hilarious - not all at once. Although, that would be awesome! This means I will be more focused on sponsorships, exposure, and forming relationships with you. I know I won't have it all figured out in one day, but I am open to suggestions if you have any.

3. This blog is important to me. Its a place for me to share things about my life. I have thoughts and I have opinions, but I also want to inspire and bring people back here daily.

4. This may mean I post more or less often. Let's be real. Not every blog post is 100% perfect or life shattering. I typically blog when I have something to say. If what I want to say coincides with the above mentioned then its a go. If not, then its a no. Cool?

Thank you guys for reading. For taking this blogging thing and running with it. My heart appreciates you.

IN 10TH GRADE...

I'm on the left.

Third from the left with the short blonde hair.

1. Dating: I wasn't really dating anyone specifically, but I did have crushes on a few different guys.
2. Eating: I would say my diet was the same as it is now. I loved Chick-Fil-A, Applebee's, and Chili's. I went to the above places all the time!
3. On the weekends...I would go to the movies with friends, go to football games, basketball games, and the mall...Oh, the mall. The Mall of Georgia was the place to be!
4. Doing: A lot of PSAT prep, volunteering in theatre, talking in class, taking photos on a disposable camera, and cheering.
5. Feeling: A million different things. My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, I was recovering from a tough break up (freshman year), I was always cheering, or doing things for my dad's church (I was a PK).
6. Dancing: In my room, at cheer practice, at cheer camp, in the car, at high school dances. Boy bands and Britney Spears were ruling the air waves!
7. Driving: Sometimes...I was terrified to learn to drive and was just starting to learn at the end of my Sophomore year. I drove a stick, though. I couldn't quite figure it out.
8. Trying: My best not to get off track. My friends were starting to experiment with different things and friendship drama was constant. I was trying my best to stay out of it.
9. Dreaming: About Junior year. I don't know why, but being a Junior seemed so grown up to me. It was my most fun year!
10. Forgetting: That I would have to be done with high school in two years. I wasn't quite ready to leave home yet, in fact, I ended up going to a community college for three years after high school.
