Disclaimer: Please excuse the fact that I haven't put up a post in a very long time.  This post has been all ready to go for about 5 days and then when I went to make a cover image, Picmonkey decided that it wasn't going to work with my browser.  Ugh.  So I been on the hunt for a new editing website and I am happy to report that I found one that I like!  It's called Fotor, in case your looking for something new.


I'm about 50% happy that November's almost here because October is just a crazy month and CHRISTMAS. But I'm also 50% sad because November is always FREEZING, but not the fun kind of cold with snow and all that fun stuff, but SHIVERING, DEAD, LIKE COLD.

Rejection is so hard friends.  Really, really hard.  And I want to be a cheery, happy blogger but sometimes you just have to write about the hard stuff.

Being rejected sucks.  And it hurts.  And it makes you feel like you're not good enough and makes you think that 'if only I was a better person' they would want me.
And it's just lies.

Things do 'go on'.  Fun will still be had.  And relationships can and will be mended.

People are impulsive and they say things they don't mean constantly.  I bet that you do too.

And sometimes, listen carefully when I say this, people might actually be busy, even when it feels like they're avoiding you.  Also, busy doesn't always mean doing something fun and exciting without you.  It could mean taking a nap or running errands with their mom, so don't just assume that you're missing out.

I honestly need to start taking my own advice.  Whenever I try to make plans with a friends and they already have something else going on, I assume that they're intensionally leaving me out.  I feel rejected.

Lately I've been trying to be more intensional with my feelings.  I like to check in with God and ask 'Are these good feelings? Should I be feeling this way?'.  And it helps, it really does.

So, next time you're faced with rejection, consider this:  People still love you.  And they do still want you in their life.  Give it time.  The storm will eventually pass.  It's all part of the journey my friend.

LET'S GO SHOW REJECTION WHOS BOSS!

Hello everyone!  So for todays post I wanted to draw your attention to this post that I wrote and published back in July.  It was my first 'real' post on my blog and it means a lot to me.  It was written directly from my heart and I couldn't have said what I wanted to say any differently to this day.  And without further or do...Enjoy!

Ok, so a few days ago I finished the book; All The Bright Places by Jennifer Nivan.  Out of all the books I have ever read (and i’ve read A LOT of books) this is the only book that I legitimately have thought about for a good solid week.  I can’t decide whether I like the book (aka I was totally balling my eyes out by the end).  It’s just that the ending really takes you by surprise and gets you thinking about the seriousness of mental illness (it also makes you think about the power of true love).

Love,
Em
