Illusions

Honestly, I am not sure how to start this post. When I have last blogged, my life looked totally different. I was on the journalism staff for my senior year of high school. I became the football homecoming queen. I started going to the home games. I got accepted to the college I was looking forward to attending next fall. I was actually happy, or at least I thought it was.

Right now, I am at a crossroads in my life. I'm no longer on the journalism staff for reasons that I can't even mention at this time and as a result, I am now a peer tutor. Honestly, this wasn't what I had in mind for the rest of my senior year, but I'm getting used to it. Basically the sad part of it all, being on journalism staff, was that it was all an illusion. Like I said, I really don't want to get into it at this time. 

One thing has remained a part of my life: and that is feeling the full measure of God's grace. Through it all, I will be strong and courageous through this trying time. And this blog will talk about the uncertainties of life and getting stronger after life's obstacles. I really hope that this will be a source of encouragement for anyone going through the difficulties that life brings.

I hope to return with some updates throughout the semester. Until then, see you later peeps!

Unmasked

I've had a lot of things on my heart and mind lately. Somehow, I have entered a new season in my life without even realizing it. I'm not the same person I was a year ago. I've grown as a human being in retrospect realizing that everything happens for a reason. I've learned to embrace my weaknesses and will gladly boast in them, because God created me for a purpose. Interpreting social cues has been a long-standing weakness, even as I started this blog almost four years ago. Sometimes, when I read old posts, I do not recognize the person I was when I wrote them. Writing them was a way to channel the raw emotion I've held inside. Looking back, I could have channeled my emotions privately. I don't know for certain how the future will look like moving forward, but things are so much different now and I am still learning. As a digital citizen on the Internet, I have a responsibility and an obligation to live authentically and humbly, and to spread positivity and

The Realization

Many things happened during the nearly three years of law school. When I started this blog years ago, I struggled to figure out who I was. The only difference between high school and college was that I had obstacles. I had barriers that no person in their 20s should have faced. Don't get me wrong; I had obstacles in law school, but I overcame them.  It should not be a shock to anyone that I persevered through the law school obstacles, with the only obstacle left being bar admission. I am graduating with a law degree nobody can take away from me. Here I am with a message to my younger self. It's a message I wish she had heard while going through the education program. The message I heard was to find somewhere where you will shine. If she were to hear that now, transfer schools. My younger self did not deserve to be somewhere she had been gaslit at any turn, where she was called a liar when going to board meetings instead of chapel service, and she certainly did not deserve the l
